yeh maybe thats why, the hose coming off the supalite is pretty long, but as i say it gets caught on every cornet notch little in dent, i cant really see how the length of my hose would make much difference

I have to say I agree.  99% of Alex's products are brilliant, but I couldn't get on with the Protecterball.  It may very well prolong the life of end connectors, but I'd rather replace them a bit more often than be constantly to-ing and fro-ing to release a snagged ball.

Have you tried slipping a six inch length - [shut up, and keep reading!] - of cycle inner tube over the end of the hose?
Position the end of it, flush with the end of your connector - secure the "inboard" end to the hose with a "zip-tie", or two.
Cheap and cheerful.
