We looked at several aspects when choosing the best nets, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a net for any aesthetic preference, we looked for nets that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.
