Why do people use different pads for netting? Surely you want your net and match set up to be as similar as possible so that your practice and match play is too?

Good question.... I think I do this partly because I have some very light aero p3s which helps with lugging a little less weight around in my kit bag but also because I lend my pads to new players or to those who haven't brought pads with them more often than not. We do have a pair of club pads in a locked storage locker but it's just easier to share mine that are already there next to the net.
However, I think I should net with my match pads more often for the reason you gave as well as my P3 protectors too. But again, just putting on my newbery thigh guards is just easier over the top of my bottoms rather than stripping off although I could wear them over the top too. I guess this also helps with the longevity of my softs so I don't have to replace them every year.
I just don't want to be lugging 2 pairs of everything around with me.
I actually think our net sessions do not replicate match pitch conditions at all in terms of bounce and pace which is mainly due to under investment but things in Prague progress very slowly. So our net sessions in terms of batting is really just about timing, experimenting with shots, playing in new bats and breaking some at the same time as well as working on our weakness areas. Lastly, giving our bowlers something to aim at.
