yeh there not too bad, theres just less shots that roll in. You just have to get used to playing on them. There not that bad once you get used to 'em.

i can't believe some of you guys haven't heard about them since now o played on them..we got lots of those down here.....

At first its annoying but you get used to it only annoying thing is that our net is too small so the ball gets stuck everytime and you gotta jump to get it.

id like to try double rimmed nets... seems like it boosts ure shot

the reasons why double rims are good is because u can tell when its not going to go in or not so u spontaneously go for the rebound..but sometimes it manages to slip in...

yeh this what those players mean when dey got a "feel" for der shot.

i got that feel...especially on 3 pointers wen its goin in i kno it...if u keep shooting over and over and over u'll get this "feel" too

mmhmm. well from the inside they are. I'm ALWAYS hitting the inside of the rim and it bounces out.

practically! Like I said already, if it hits the inside of the rim it's coming out. (well maybe it's like that with single rims too, I don't know because I've only played in double rim courts)
So yeah basically you have to shoot it perfect so that the ball doesn't touch any part of the rim. Just a perfect shot right through the middle. And what sucks about doing that is that none of the courts where I go play have nets. So whenever I make it in perfectly I have to go running after the ball. Because it just goes through the rim then keeps bouncing. It's not like with a net where the net kind of helps it drop straight down to the floor.
But even when I miss I still have to go after it because it bounces off the rim all crazy.

I find it exactly the same. Maybe it's just the way I shoot.
