Propose possible fixes for high goals

[James3245]

Is it possible to incorporate a layer of energy absorbing netting/chains far enough back from goal mouth to avoid bounce-back?

I haven't been able to watch the matches so I don't know the geometry of the problem.

What is the general angle and/or velocity of shots are most likely to bounce back out? Or does it occur on a variety of shot-types?

Of course, the fix needs to avoid a new set of bounce-out problems.

(I'm surprised that this problem has reappeared after last year's tendency of frisbees sliding out in high-scoring matches. Regardless of game, counting goals that are scored should be very high on the "required" specs. for field design.)

What about just a ramp that's similar to the low goal ramp? It would make the ball more likely to stay in the goal

How about astro turf or shag carpet to absorb the energy?

Has first even acknowledged that they see it as an issue? As far as I'm concerned, it's just something that teams should get used to.

I agree, they gave us a huge target to put a ball through this year and I think that this is a perfect challenge for teams to have to adapt strategies to.

Teams need to shoot closer & up through the goal. Those w/ a flat shot from further away or are going through the upper goal on the flat hang or down arc are the only ones that will have the problem of bounce back through the opening.

Don't fix it. Deal w/ it teams, and alter your shooting, as week one matches are already underway.
