I dont think any net will make me change from my chris brown net. Just watched a video on it and im not sure how the block is attached to the handle as theres no metal ferrule where block goes into the handle. It looks like it just goes straight into the carbon shaft. Surely thats not strong enough!

I've got the original lollipop dymag net, the mk11 and have most other or have had them, including the Chris brown and nothing IMO comes close to the dobbins net, it is a work of art and whilst I chop and change this is the leader of my pack,

I was under the impression that the Dobbins nets were built on standard Torrix net components with essentially just fancy whipping?

Would be interested if anyone has owned/handled all of the top end nets (Solar, Dymag, Chris Brown, ESP, Matrix and the new Korda) or is any single shop stocks them to allow a true side by side comparison?

I have handled the dymag mk3,korda,matrix and solar p1 bowloc and the dymag and korda are in a different league.I really didn't like the p1 at all,it was too floppy and not as easy to use as I thought it was going to be.The matrix is quite a nice net,well balanced with having a small spreader block but again not very rigid at all.I do like the matrix camo mesh though,I have that on my custom Harrison Aviator net

It might have Harrison arms but I think the pole is the same straight gauge carbon tube he makes the pods from.

I can see these being the most stolen item from the bank in 2023.

Why more expensive nets out on the bank than these

There will be tones of these hitting the second hand market soon, far easier to resell than some hand made net that had a limited run. Nets are probably the easiest thing for someone to target to steal.

So basically are we saying that your choice of net determines whether your a Noddy ?

Bespoke block, sturdy but light snooker cue handle spreader with hole for elevated retaining with supplied bankstick and adaptor, end spike, lovely sturdy and good but achievable bow oh and yes fancy whippings...

I love mine and have lots of different nets, not only does it look like a work of art - it has some functional extras that I believe are pretty good. Expensive but I do like a bit of custom and much of my stuff is about - bespoking or rarer items.

The Aqua Atom net is similar; the spreader block is attached directly to the pole and its rock solid.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
