| Pros: |
- One of my favorite networks. Was even a favorite way back in 2010 when I originally reviewed their site "Innocent High" which was the flagship site of a then growing network called Team Skeet.
- Network has grown quite a bit over the years. Back in my old review there were 9 sites back then, now there are 20+.
- Good quality videos and photosets for each scene.
- You get one new scene per day. Each has a video and photoset.
- HD videos started as far back as 2008, which wasn't that far into the network's existence.
- Very good download speeds, I'm downloading at 7.5 MB/s, which is pretty close to my max and it's needed if you want those 1080p files since some are as big as 3-4 GB each.
- Billed through Epoch, which made me very happy considering the last few sites I've joined used billers I hadn't heard of.
- One of the best, if not best networks for those who like variety in their models, race, size, boob size, butt size, etc... |
| Cons: |
- I don't know if the network is still ran by the same people as it was in 2010, but they've worked some frustrating parts into the site either way. From the Team Skeet homepage you can select "Sites" tab which spares you the frustration of sifting through the updates with ads and locked scenes. What's a locked scene? It's a site within the Team Skeet network that's not included with the Team Skeet network. Huh? Lost 5 points there. I will further this in the BL.
- Like a lot of the bigger networks, they try a new niche, only to stop it just 20-30 scenes in.
- Has lost some of its original feel it had back in 2010. |
| Bottom Line: |
Team Skeet's original charm for me was Innocent High and Oye Loca. I always liked the innocent schoolgirl look and Innocent High had all of their models wearing their own schoolgirl outfit. Oye Loca is a mostly South American shot Latina site. My name alone says I like the Latina girls (but not exclusively Latina) and Oye Loca was one of the very few sites that had an authentic feel to their scenes, the models also were mostly amateur Latina girls.
Then it grew as a network and Innocent High and Oye Loca became just a part of the network. Innocent High used to update weekly, then it went to one update every two weeks, now it's starting to look like it's going to be one update per month. Oye Loca used to also update once a week, now it's once a month. I talked to their webmaster way back years ago here on PU and he talked about how hard it was to find amateur Latina models for Oye Loca, so I can understand, but those were my two favorite sites on this network.
That's not to say it's going downhill. Overall, the network has added some new very good sites like Exxxtra Small, Teen Curves, She's New and Teens Love Money, so all is not lost.
My one big con/complaint is the way they list their network sites. At the top of the homepage there's a tab for "Sites". Since nothing is made clear, I'm going to help anyone out who is interested in this since I think it's unfair for a network to do this. All the sites below are not only listed in the Team Skeet "sites" tab, but also in the Team Skeet dropdown menu.
There are six sites listed as Team Skeet sites that you cannot access without upgrading your account. These sites are: Punish Teens, BFFs, Teens Love Black Cocks, Family Strokes, Daughter Swap and Sis Loves Me.
These sites are Team Skeet sites that are no longer updating: Step Siblings, Her Freshman Year, Solo Interviews, Self Desire and Team Skeet Extras.
This leaves you with 20 sites that are at least still active and included with your membership. You can see how the network has grown, but can also see why it can be a bit frustrating when looking at their site list since adding all those up comes up to 33 sites, but you only have access to 27 and only 20 are updating. It's understandable with some of the bigger, older networks, but this network hasn't been around as long as those others.
On top of that is the less original feel the network once had. As you can see the "step-sibling", "family", "sister" niches have slipped in.
Still, in all fairness, it's a very good network for the cost. You do have to do mouse Olympics to avoid some of the ads, but they are very good about getting believable "teen" models going on 24. And again, I don't know if it's the same guys who used to run it, but they were friendly, helpful, fun guys towards members.
Even with my complaints, I would still recommend it over nearly every network except maybe Reality Kings. And if they're not owned by Reality Kings, they're at least affiliated with them since I saw longtime Reality King male talent J-Mac in a Team Skeet scene.
They also have a few sites that I think offer some good potential if they'll keep them running like CFNM Teens and She's New. CFNM Teens hasn't updated since late May, so it's possible it might already be dead, it only has 28 scenes on it, but this is a niche that continues to be overlooked. Take it from the old psychologist, these CFNM sites are great for couples to watch together, but no one seems to be able to keep them going. Reality Kings has a good one, but it stopped updating too. She's New is a site with amateur models trying to make it in porn. I'm sure they'll slip a few already models by me since I don't keep up with new models like I used to, but it seems pretty authentic. That will always be a hugely-popular niche.
So, outside of the no longer updating sites and the sites you have to unlock, there's really not much to complain about. The videos are very good as are the picture sets, which are downloadable in zips. The vast majority of scenes show girls having fun and enjoying themselves, which to me is also a big strength of Reality Kings. I was both surprised and happy with those download speeds. I will say the network itself is slow when loading, but everything else moves along good.
Would recommend it to everyone except those who like older models (I'm one of those), but don't let that sway you away. There's plenty of curvy young women on this site, which is usually the reason for preferring older models and there's plenty of entertainment and niches covered to fill most porn fans hard drives with hundreds of gigs of high quality porn. If not for the ads and "upgrade" button, this network would have received a 97, but it's a 92 instead. |
