Problems solved by technology

Traditionally, this has represented a non-insubstantial effort and time expenditure of players.
This represented a considerable amount of effort and time.
In addition, it posed a danger of haste-based error in the stringing.
This could lead to customer dissatisfaction and to net failures during play.
Finally, existing alternatives to the complex net threading failed to accommodate the wide array of goal frame structures.
This limited the replacement net sales to existing owners of the underlying goal-frame structure.
