The geometry of the net changes taking away the top stuff, and some of the sides.

To put this in perspective, say if he has a wingspan of 6 feet, he'll have a body surface area 'between the tips' of about 8 by 6 or 48 square feet. He'll cover around 6/20 of the net, or about 30 percent. Standing in the net normally, he'd cover about 25 percent. So I'd expect to see him about 20 percent more effective.

Regulation is 8x24. 2 feet out that becomes 6 2/3rds feet by 20 feet. Corner to corner is now 21 feet, as opposed to 25 and a third.
