Mines the reverse taper, with yellow whippings. Bought it around 2001/2002 still going strong, did change the mesh though.

Does anyone have any pictures of the Chris Brown net that they can post? I'm not sure whether to go with the green whipping, or ask for something else like blue or black - Any thoughts?

If it's not dark by the time I'm out I'll send some later. I have the Carbon with standard green whipping.

I never really noticed how bad the epoxy resin finish was on that till you posted my photos. I must have had another one made since then as well as thats the two piece handle and the one i have now is a one piece handle as just checked in the garage. No idea where the one in the photo went, might still be in the garage somewhere.

I have just posted an initial review in the reviews section for anyone considering a net.

Link here

I am looking forward to giving it a try!

That Just looks like light reflection , chris would not send out anything with a poor finish.

Definitely a blob of epoxy coming from the left of the spreader block.

With a bit of noddyfication I managed to break the arm of my 10yr old CB net at the spigot.

Phoned Chris to buy a replacement and with no questions asked said he would send me out a new set of arms free of charge, as the nets have a life time guarantee.

What a fantastic service. I wish all companies operated like that.

100% epoxy, you can see it making a different contour to the edge of the handle from the other side, and its in a completely different position in the other photo.

Not something thats going to weaken or damage the net but poor finishing none the less. but thats not to say poor workmanship as every now and again a minor defect can slip through with virtually anything,

John would you say the Net arms were bowed when attached to the spreader block? Or do they come of more straight? If that makes any kind of sense.. I like my nets to be bowed for some reason..
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
