I recommend buying a pulley/belt system from a company called "Polytech", our team was EXTREMELY unsatisfied with our Brecoflex belts. Not only were they delivered way behind schedule, but also they snapped after only 3 or 4 matches, whereas the comparable polytech belts lasted an entire regional (12-14 matches) and an entire day of practice on our own field.

anyway,

I liked 578's style of afordable belts, they worked well at FLR where we competed against/with them.
