desertdog 149 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 i know this might sound stupid but does it have to be a 2 inch ring no, not really i supose, but the lads i make for always ask for them, they lay heavier, charlie cant kick it out the ground so easy,and i find if you want to make a wider net, 2in ring is better.
