Pickle-Ball SwiftNet 2.1 Portable Pickleball Net System

Easy to set up, high quality, light weight, and sturdy. It is worth the price. I've played with a variety of portable nets and this net is by far the best. No center support pole so the net retains the slight arch from side to side. One person can easily set this net up. I would buy this again. In fact I did. I gave my previous net to a friend who needed one and got a new one for myself.

EDIT: I see other reviews mentioning a broken shock cord. Mine was in two pieces out of the box as well. I contacted the manufacturer who assured me it was fine to use it without the cord (it is for convenience in holding all the carbon fiber rods together (and yes, they are not metal, as per a review here - they are carbon fiber). He sent another one immediately, and even included an extra cord for the handles at the top that pull the net tight (for when one of those ultimately breaks). I have not used that yet as my pull cords are still just fine. After communicating with the manufacturer and experiencing the obvious pride in their quality and their care for me as a customer, I am even more enthusiastic in recommending the Swiftnet. - - - ORIGINAL REVIEW The Swiftnet has been great! It is easy to erect, only a little difficult to take down (one of the buttons that hold the vertical tubes is a bit too tight and so is finicky), and it provides a notably superior playing experience because there is no unwanted rise in the middle, the top is taut and plays very much like a permanent net system, and it allows balls to easily roll under for return to the other side. And no corrosion, anywhere. It is very much worth the additional cost for those who really enjoy pickleball.

If you’re going to buy a net for pickleball, this is the one you want. Yes, there are less expensive choices, but you get what you pay for. This net is so thoughtfully crafted. It is easy to set up, takes maybe 2 minutes. There is no annoying middle post. Adjusting the tension is so easy and it’s always right. There is clearance at the bottom for the ball to pass through. The materials are top quality. Also, the carry bag is large enough to hold the net components. That seems a strange thing to comment, but often the bags on cheaper nets are difficult to close once you have put it away. We’ve been using our friends’ Swiftnet for about 5 years. It is very durable. I had been so frustrated with the cheapness of ours, but now have a quality dependable net! Swiftnet customer service is excellent and the product has a 1 year warranty. This is the one to buy!

I ordered this net for my local Pickle Ball club to replace different style.. We have two of this one already and they seem to be the easiest to set up. You do need two people, but it literally takes five minutes. Nice features are speed of assembly and there is no center pole, which is preferred over nets that do have a center pole. The only issue I have with this particular net is the very small plastic triangular support piece that goes in the middle cracked when I put it on. I reached out to the company directly and they were amazing. I actually spoke with a person immediately, and he solved the problem very quickly and explained to me how to make a temporary fix. They then proceeded to send me the replacement piece I needed. This is an excellent net for the price and I would highly recommend it

Unless you go with the very expensive heavy duty net option out there that has to be assembled and weighs over 200 lbs, this is the best net as far as net tension, net shape/sag, and portability I've ever seen. No cheap lets with this net, you've got to earn them :-) Setup is quick and the package is light enough that it won't break your shoulder. If you don't feel like assembling it all the time, the net system holds up to the elements well, too. We've had one for about 3 years, and only had to replace the net tensioning cords once. The replacement part seems more durable than the original version, so we might get even longer life out of this one. Manufacturer support is good as well. SwiftNet costs more than some portable nets, but I think it's worth it.

I like most that this net has a great top line like a permanent net and has the best tension I’ve experienced from a portable net. The net is very easy to set up quick and very light to carry. Always the perfect height. I have no idea how anyone could have trouble getting it set up perfectly in just a few minutes. Great materials and so far seems much more sturdy than the other portable I have experience with. Yes it’s pricey, but I believe it Will last longer than the cheaper nets and it played better.

Ordered as a Father’s Day gift for my husband. First time setting it up we were sad to find that the cord that runs through the top of the net wasn’t attached to one of the metal rings and the end was inside the net. We couldn’t get the cord back out. So we had to pack it back up and leave the courts. Wish I had just purchased the normal style net but my husband really wanted this one. Pros- light weight, easy to set up, and replacement parts seem to be easy to obtain Cons-quality control and I’m concerned about durability I’m going to see how our return goes. If it goes smoothly I will likely order another for my husband. If the company is difficult to work with I’ll likely go with the tried and true type pickleball net.

It's a really good net, easy to set up once you've done it a couple of times. It's great not to have a center post. I have only a couple of issues. First, the net is a touch low in the center, at least for me. It's around 33.25 rather than 34 inches. The height at the sides are at 36 correctly and I've spent some time working on it and I can't get the center up to 34. It's not the biggest deal but it is a little disappointing. The second issue is that the way the cord (that holds the net at tension) is held in place will inevitably cause the cord to fray over time. They do offer replacement cords at a reasonable price, but it feels like it could have been designed differently to avoid this. Notwithstanding these points, it's a very solid net. It also holds up in the wind, which had been a concern of mine. I played in 15 mph winds, which is about as high as I would want to play in, and there were no stability issues.

Our club was in need of 3 portable pickleball nets. I decided to get one for home first to make sure what I got was good enough. I tried out one of the inexpensive nets that are all over the site. Basically, the one I tried was heavy and just a hassle to set up. I couldn't imagine lugging 3 around for our club nights. So I returned it. After further searching I discovered the Swiftnet, and ordered one for the house and my personal use. I couldn't be happier with it. It was much lighter than the others and a quicker and easier to set up. I am very pleased with it. I am now in the process of ordering 3 for my community club. (we play at different spots, hence the need for portable)

Very good design and well made. Quick and easy to set up and pack up. A bit on the pricey side but should last for many years.

Poor quality didn't even last 5 month and almost triple the price of nets that are still good after 3 years of club play.

pricey but the best costs

Ok but not great. The best part is that there is no centre post so the net has the correct tension and sage. Will require repairs as components subject to ware. Seems over priced for what it is. IMO
