We used 30x30 last year, and it was ok i guess. It was great for moving stuff last minute and replacing parts... but it we really went thorought a lot of it.
we had a robust frame with the extrusion, but when we reamed the goal full speed (which we did religiously) the bosch would bend, deform and shear a lot. It might just be because we beat it pretty bad, otherwords it was great. the reason why i think it was just because we beat on it is becasue instead of the peices breaking, the bolt sheared first! so therefore the extrusion had to of been pretty tough!
