No More Net-less Nights
Here is a new product we have recently been introduced to that
every basketball player that has ever played the game on a
net-less court will appreciate. The product is called the SWISH
NET. SWISH NET Inc has offices in Nevada, USA and British
Columbia, Canada. Every one who has played basketball has gone out
to a local playground court to shoot or play only to find there is
no net on the rim.
While this in itself doesn't keep one from having a useful game of
basketball or practicing shots, anyone who has experienced the
net-less hoop would agree it's a less than desirable experience.
There is something to the feel of the game when a well placed shot
swishes through a net. On the other hand when that same shot
touches nothing on its way through a net-less hoop only to strike
the support stand and sail wildly off the to side to be chased by
the opponent or nearest man, all players are left wondering
where's the net? The game just doesn't seem the same without a
net.
Forget the ladder
In off the bench steps the SWISH NET and now you have a low cost,
sturdy, and completely portable solution without having to carry
your own net, and ladder. The SWISH NET is make up of; 3 heavy
duty plastic collar sections (forming the snap on ring) which we
were able to connect in less than two minutes, a three-color
basketball net, an extendable pole for putting on and taking off
the SWISH NET, and a positioning tool. Voila, we are ready to take
our net to the game.
No Degree Required for Installation
The circular collar of the SWISH NET has locking hooks and a
flange which slips over virtually any rim made (with as the
creators say a very few odd exceptions) and locks into place. The
collar also has holes and tabs which allow you to easily add or
remove a new or worn net from the collar without much difficulty.
The extension pole and positioning tool is similar to what you
find in an office building or church social hall where you have
tall long windows with a loop latch at the top requiring a thumb
like attachment on the pole to be slipped into the loop to pull
and open the window.
This sturdy metal extension pole and positioning tool, easily
allows you to pull on and take off the SWISH NET collar from the
basket rim in less than 30 seconds making it a truly portable
solution compared what normally takes 5-10 minutes if you must
attach your own net. And that is if you have a ladder handy. More
likely is that you'll find your local park baskets have no net
rings to which you can attach a net, which is not a problem for
SWISH NET as the collar with the net attached simply slips over
and latches onto even a ring-less rim.
Be The Most Popular Player In Your Neighborhood
The SWISH NET is detached simply by pushing up on one of the
flanges on the collar to unlock it. When more than 3 or 4 flanges
are unlocked from the rim, the SWISH NET collar simply pops off.
This product comes with an excellent two page color illustration
of how to construct, put up and take down the SWISH NET and use
the extendable positioning tool. Even better it shows you two
tricks for attaching the SWISH NET to rims that have bracing bars
or for rims with ringlets in unusual positions. The folks at SWISH
NET are honest enough as well to say that it fits almost all rims.
We measured it and if your rim, from top to bottom is more than 1
7/8" or thicker than 5/8" you might have some problems. But from
all the years we have played, a rim that large isn't commonly
found anywhere. Just be aware the SWISH NET probably fits 95% of
the rims you will ever use and almost all regularly manufactured
baskets for home use.
Summary
The SWISH NET is a simple idea, and well thought out solution by
SWISH NET to a nagging problem for basketball players. This
portable device solves the problem of loose balls on made shots,
poor feedback on good shots, and makes each of us feel a little
more at home on a public court even when the city or school is the
landlord. Our hats go off to these folks for an inexpensive
solution to an age old problem, where's the net when you really
need one! We give this product five hoops out of five. For the
cost of an inexpensive basketball you will no longer have to shoot
at our local court without a net. Take one along and try it. Tell
your buddies to bring the ball, you'll bring the net.
