Park & Sun Sports Tournament Flex 1000: Portable Outdoor Volleyball Net System

I play volleyball on a regular basis (two times per week) and at an intermediate level. Levels of power I usually go to places with a professional net system, but I wanted something portable for parties and/or just messing around at home that was simple to set up and could withstand a spike and some aggressive net play. br>br>Setup (3 out of 5 stars)br>I found the process of connecting to the internet to be very simple. You simply take the poles out of the bag, slide the net onto the poles, attach the net top line (I believe it's a nylon rope) to each pole, set up the guylines, and tighten the net with the guylines. br>br>I thought getting the net tight enough was strange because you have to keep the top and bottom tape even or else you'll overtighten the top (or bottom) and the other side will still be loose. However, once you've got it down, it's a pretty good system. This isn't meant to be a complaint, but rather a warning. br>br>I deducted a star because one of my poles lacked a ground cover, causing it to sink into the ground. To keep the pole from sinking, I had to put a block of wood underneath it. br>br>I also deducted a star because the boundary lines were completely off. The volleyball courts are 30' x 60', and the boundary lines aren't even square or close together. They were 35' x 66' (it wasn't square) when they arrived. I had to adjust the lines for an additional 30 minutes using a tape measure. I'm not sure if they send the lines long on purpose and expect you to adjust them yourself, but it's a pain. Quality (br>br>Quality (br>Quality (br>Quality (br>Quality (br>Qu 5 out of 5 stars)br>The Net and Pole systems are of excellent quality. The only thing I would have preferred was a steel cable running through the top of the net instead of the nylon rope, which will most likely stretch out over time; removing the crappy volleyball and replacing it with a steel cable would be fantastic. br>br>Performance (3. ) br>br>Performance (3) br>br>Performance (3) Overall, the performance was about what one would expect from a portable net system. br>br>On the internet, spiking was fine. Spikes that went through the tape usually went over the net instead of stopping, but they were slowed down significantly. I'm undecided on how I feel about it. I believe that if you went to your local hardware store and simply replaced the nylon cable with a steel cable, you would be able to solve this problem for around $20. br>br>Playing without a net turned out to be a lot more enjoyable than I had anticipated. We had a couple of plays off the net because you could get the net really tight. Players hitting the net and/or pulling on it didn't seem to cause any issues; it just snapped back into place and we didn't have to tighten it up afterward. br>br> br>br>Overall (3. br>br> 4 out of 5 stars)br>I think it's a good net system at a good price; my only recommendations are to:
1. Remove the volleyball from the "set"br>2. Remove the volleyball from the "set"br> Substitute a Steel cable for the Nylon cablebr>3. Measure the lines that define the boundaries. (Or even the 2" webbing boundary lines)br>br>I'd be willing to pay an extra $50-$100 for this. If they did those three things, it's possible they'd get 75 or even more.

This set arrived today and it appears to be in good condition. I carefully examined a variety of sets from various manufacturers, price points, and so on, and came to the conclusion that the Park Sun sets consistently received the highest ratings for volleyball and badminton sets. We're just backyard baseball players who aren't overly serious or competitive, but I wanted something that was well-made. It would be well-made, would not sag, and would last for years. There were undoubtedly higher-ranking candidates. There are end sets available, i. e. I couldn't justify spending $300 on something that might be used twice (the Spectrum series), but Every three months. The Tourny Flex 1000 seemed like a good "middle-of-the-road" option to me. option for "level" I also wanted to be able to play regulation badminton, but the net on this set couldn't be easily adjusted for badminton (height and width). So I bought a Park as well. Separately sold Sun Pro Badminton set. br>br>We took everything out of the box and examined it. The telescoping aluminum poles were of good quality, which pleased me. They ought to be able to hold- Cheaper sets with steel poles don't hold up nearly as well. It appears to be of higher quality than the typical backyard party set. We blew up the volleyball provided only to discover that it had a leaky valve and could not be used. That was a letdown, to say the least. I didn't want to go out and buy another ball, but we had to. We started setting up the net, boundaries, and other items about an hour before a weekend picnic, and it became clear that the instructions provided were not very detailed or thorough. They're simply high-quality items. level steps with only a few images to back them up We had a hard time figuring out how to attach the support guy lines so that the poles stayed straight and the net stayed in place. The nylon rope is too flexible and slippery for the guy line hoops to stay tight. According to what I've read, this system does necessitate a "break-in period. " However, this should not be the case. We eventually got it up, albeit with a significant amount of slack in the net, and made the best of the situation for the picnic. However, I am dissatisfied with the outcome, and I intend to replace the nylon guy- line system with a 1" wide, ratchet-style ratchet system that works from the bottom up That will cost me about $30 more, but I believe I'll be happier with the end result. results. br>br>Overall, the net and poles have met my expectations. Because it leaks, the ball is useless. The guy lines and boundary lines are made of nylon rope, which is very inexpensive. I'll probably have to replace the guy line system with something that can actually keep the net tension in place. So I ended up paying $176 for the set and $20 for a new ball. I'm going to spend around $35 on a new set of ratchet-style screws. lines for guys who are down type As a result, I can only give it three stars.

It takes about ten minutes to set up. With a, 15 minutes is all it takes. My opinion will be similar to that of the others. My daughter, who plays club volleyball and for her high school team, as well as doubles grass/sand, served as both a critic and an approver of this purchase. It really works. It takes about ten minutes to set up. With a helping hand, the system takes about 15 minutes to set up and adjust, and it's fantastic once it's done. Above all, the net can be drawn quite tightly. It's certainly tight enough to keep the ball from going into the net. We are the second owners of this park and sun system. The first one lasted for more than 16 years. So, back when my wife and I were both much younger and could move around and have reflexes, etc. This park and sun sports net system comes highly recommended by me. I did notice some criticisms of the included ball. It's a very low-cost ball. I would not recommend playing with the provided volleyball, even if it appears to be in good condition.

The poles, bag, rope, and ball were all delivered to me, but there was no net. I waited for it to arrive later, but it never did. I'm unable to contact them because I am unable to locate a phone number. It appears to be well made based on the parts I have, and I will update the rating once they contact me and send me a net for our youth group.

We purchased this net because we wanted to be able to play in the water or sand, and both my wife and I had previously used similar systems, so we felt confident in purchasing it. It was a total success. With the assistance of another person, the setup was relatively simple. Because the net-tightening ropes were new and slipping, they only needed to be wrapped three times through the rings. That's not a big deal. The net was extremely tight once the guylines were cinched and the poles were adjusted. Whether the ball was hit into the net or not, it stayed in the air. This is an excellent product, and I would recommend it to any potential purchasers.
