I am currently using a synthetic backcourt cesta that looks like new after using it for over a year and a half. It is a bit more difficult to catch the ball than a regular cesta, however, I can throw harder and the cesta weighs a LOT less than the real one, which was a factor for me cause I'm older and my shoulder was getting a beating. I'm very happy with it. I think they cost about 150 bucs, I got mine from a friend who didn't like it cause he couldn't catch with it. Got it very cheap.
