We began selling batting cage nets in 2001 as Battingnets.com. As our business expanded beyond batting cage nets, we needed a new name to reflect those changes, thus Practice Sports was born.

Practice Sports is one of the highest volume batting cage net distributors in the country, with thousands of nets sold since 2001.

Not only do we sell nets, but we also like to share our insider’s perspective on netting with our customers.

This article reviews the pros and cons of different netting types.

We work with net shops nationwide to build the best standard sized batting cage nets on the planet.

Additionally, we build custom nets to any size and configuration.

A Review of Five Netting Suppliers (Alphabetical Order)

**The netting brands below are listed in alphabetical order and are not a representation of quality or score.**

Burbank Sport Nets – Florida

Burbank has been in the netting business since the early 1900’s. This is a multi-generational company with a deep history in the netting industry. They offer high-quality netting material, which is used by many teams in Major League Baseball (MLB). In addition, they install backstop nets and custom builds around the country at MLB parks. Their nets are generally more expensive, but if you’re looking for high quality, they are an excellent option.

We are authorized dealers for Burbank. Let us know if you prefer their netting and we can offer you lower pricing than purchasing direct from the factory.

Carron Nets – Wisconsin

Carron Nets is another long-time player in the netting industry. They have an excellent reputation for offering every type of netting under the sun, and they customize a huge variety of features into any type of netting. Their lead times can be a little longer than most factories, and their prices tend to be on the high side, but they offer a great product with more options than most. Furthermore, their nets include an impressive warranty.

We are authorized dealers for Carron Net. Let us know if you prefer their netting as we offer lower pricing than purchasing direct from the factory.

Cimarron Sports – Oklahoma

Cimarron Sports is a wholesaler, importing most of their products from China. They offer a good variety of baseball equipment such as batting cages for an affordable price. In order to offer the lowest prices on the market, the netting lacks in quality compared to other retailers. They only sell through authorized dealers such as Practice Sports, Inc., so you will find all of their products on our site.

FlexNets – Nebraska

Flexnets / Flexcages / Flexmesh is the proprietary brand for Practice Sports, Inc., and the parent company for Battingnets.com. Overall, Flexnets are one of the most popular netting options due to the impressive extra features and free shipping.

Flexnets are used by MLB teams and major universities such as the Minnesota Twins, University of Nebraska, University of Memphis, Navy, Army, Virginia Tech, Baylor and hundreds of high schools. Find all of the FlexNet in-stock batting cage net options on battingnets.com.

Jugs Sports – Oregon

Jugs is the pioneer of pitching machines.

Just about everyone has used a two-wheel jugs machine in their playing career, and they have become known as one of the most durable machines on the market. Likewise, Jugs sells batting cage nets which are imported from overseas. The quality of their netting is mid-grade, and they fall more on the “value netting” side of the spectrum.

While Jugs is a high-quality company, for the integrity of this review we need to disclose we have had several coaches call to replace their Jugs netting with another brand due to early deterioration. We don’t know the exact cause for this, but suspect the cause could be related to their green netting color which is not as UV resistant as black or the blended twine opposed to 100% nylon with a seal.

Either way, Jugs offers great products and above average value netting. Hundreds of customers nationwide use their batting cage nets.

We are authorized dealers for Jugs – let us know if you prefer their netting and we can offer you lower pricing than purchasing direct from the factory.

Why buy from Practice Sports, Inc. (formerly Battingnets.com)?

Our team at PSI aims to help you shop more efficiently.

Check out the top three reasons we will make your netting experience better:

1) Our Experience = Your Efficiency

First, we make batting cage shopping more cost and time efficient.

With all the options in the marketplace, our staff helps you sort and identify not only the best netting brand for your application, but also which features are essential and which are overrated and costly.

Finding the best quality netting for your budget is our ultimate goal. Since we work with several factories, we operate impartially with the primary goal of outfitting our customers with netting that will last as long as needed for their application. Equally important, we help prevent over and/or underbuying.

2) Price

Secondly, since we purchase thousands of pounds of netting per year, we have high buying power to receive lower prices, compared to buying direct from the factory. If you have a particular brand in mind, just let us know and we’ll work to get your price down.

Take advantage of package discounts and volume pricing. Let us outfit you with a complete batting cage package including screens, turf, machines and more.

Furthermore, we care for our repeat customers by offering 10% in rewards points mailed to you in gift card form.

3) Speed

Finally, we have a fast-track at the factory. Buying individual nets from a large factory often takes several weeks to complete. Buying through Practice Sports can expedite this process.

Just remember not all netting is created equal, and not all netting from every factory works best for every use. We have worked with netting for over 20 years and can quickly help you find the best net for your needs. We know all of the tips and red flags to avoid when shopping for tunnels, and we will be your advocate to ensure you get the best possible price, shipped as quickly as possible.

What’s next?

If you’re ready to shop you can find sizes and prices for dozens of in-stock batting cage nets or custom nets.
