I'm an average, "A" level player who has played for 15 years. This net is not bad at all. We have it set up in the grass. The setup instructions are practically non-existent. Make sure to space the poles a good 12 inches away from the sidelines to get the net taut enough. I had to reset one of the poles because of this.... a small inconvenience but it turned out fine. I suspect a $300+ net system (from cobra or whomever) would be even better, but for the price, this is not a bad net system at all.

This is a very good product for the price. My only complaint, as other reviews also indicated, was the lack of assembly instructions. A medium size sledge hammer is needed to get the posts in well, and how deep you put them in affects the final net height. You probably will not get exact regulation net heights, but it certainly gets close enough for practice or home play.
