    Thanks guys for all the input. Some of the nets you came up with had not appeared in my searches. And thanks ScottP for the link to the previous net thread.
    My concern with the BPS, Frabill, and Cortland net is that they appear to all be the same, and to match the imported one with a mesh bag that I have used for about 10 years. They look good at first, and the net is still OK, but the varnish is thin and the glue is not top notch. I have actually inserted screws into the sides of my handle to hold it together. Given my age, I should just buy one anyway, but I will be happier with something nicer.
    I like the graphite/fibreglass ones, odd that there are not more on the market.
    Still trying to decide - thanks for your help in providing more choices.
