With my work schedule and the limited daylight this time of the year I have decided to set up some netting in the yard to work on my horrible backhand. I found a site that sells netting and even mentions flying discs as one of its uses. Has anyone tried this? Here is the site.

They had a commercially produced practice net set up at Nockamixon during Pro Worlds this year that worked real well. I'd check that out and see what it costs before making one.

Making one? I'm not going to make a net. That's silly. They sell those things. Now a frame might be expensive unless you work for a steel company. Oh yeah, I work for a steel company.

What's your opinion of the chinese steel? I work for a place called 'The Chassis Shop' and we go through a lot of mill 4130 steel tubing and plate, and our customers have been complaining about the chinese stuff we got in our last batch.

Most of our jobs have "domestic steel only" listed in the specs. We just got a shipment of std pipe without the seams welded. It was totally useless and it was made in the USA. Maybe i'll snatch that up for my net frame.

Would PVC be too light for a frame?

PVC would probably be okay but I don't work for a pvc company. I'm just looking for a cheap frame.

Here's another option: The Instant Screen (http://www.thejugscompany.com/products/product_detail.cfm?product_id=282).

It is a net supported by a system of spring steel hoops that fold down into a ~36" bag for carrying. We bought a couple of these for EDGE, so we can demonstrate throws at trade shows, etc.

Since you can't see your throw, how will you know if you're grooming good form?
