    Default Action Wilson!!

    Nickname for my new home made net ..not just "wilson but and there is always a but "Action Wilson"









    He/it even has a guard:


    I stopped using a net for a while, as the one I had did more damage then not, but with this reincarnate I think I will be OK.

    I like it! I'm a sucker for creative home-made equipment especially with re-purposed materials.

    One can also buy "Measure Net" brand replacements which zip on to your frame. That's what I did. You can get them in nylon and rubber
