The reason we don't hold by our frame is we have a lexan skirt underneath to push frisbees out of our way
Yea we were talking about those meat hooks on Friday and how ingenious they were. I just made the PVC handlesvwith the ropes and clips today. I think those should work and if they don't ugh well. We have bumpers that have velcro in order to switch between blue and red and the Velcro falls off during matches. In order to prevent that we have staples at the bottom to hold the fabric in place. The staples sometimes cut my hands so hopefully these handles I made will prevent that.
