Why Clear Netting Is the Gold Standard for Basketball Shooting Machines

When you’re building the best shooting machine in the world, every detail matters. That’s why The Gun comes standard with clear, handcrafted netting — because performance demands it.

There’s no debate. No gimmicks. No shortcuts.

For over 40 years, elite programs across the country have trusted our clear netting to create a clean, focused, game-like training environment. It’s the standard.

Unmatched Visibility

Our clear netting is engineered to disappear into the background, giving players a clean visual field and uninterrupted sightlines to the rim, ball, and floor. It doesn’t cast shadows. It doesn’t block light. And it doesn’t create a “tunnel” around the shooter. From brightly lit gyms to natural daylight, our netting performs, so the focus stays on form, rhythm, and results.

Built for Real Basketball Environments

Basketball isn’t played inside a cage. We designed our netting to maintain the open, realistic environment players experience in games. Black nets can create a boxed-in feeling that subconsciously alters a shooter’s comfort level and rhythm. Clear netting lets athletes focus on real shooting mechanics, without barriers.

Hand-Stitched in the USA — Because Quality Isn’t Optional

Every net on The Gun is hand-stitched in Ohio using premium, durable materials that have stood the test of time. While other brands talk about innovation, we’ve quietly refined our netting for over 40 years, driven by direct feedback from high school, college, and professional programs.

We could have cut corners and gone with cheap, mass-produced black netting — but that’s not who we are.

Our clear netting costs more to produce. It takes time, skill, and experience to make. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Instead, we chose the hard way — because it’s the right way. And thousands of coaches agree.

Not a Trend. A Standard.

Some machines are designed around marketing. Ours is designed around performance.

Clear netting isn’t a feature we brag about — it’s just what the best machines are supposed to have. Coaches don’t ask us why The Gun uses clear netting. They expect it.

Because at this level, anything else is a compromise.

Our clear netting is just the beginning. With features like live multiplayer stat tracking, Decision Mode™ cognitive training, and the industry’s only live heatmap, The Gun isn’t just a shooting machine — it’s your program’s most valuable training partner.
