Best One I've Had

I bought this 2-years ago - myself and my son are very happy with it. It's studier and bounce back is much better than with the 2 other brands we've tried. We keep it outside year-round, so the bungee cords wear out in about a year. But replacement bungees are inexpensive through Franklin. If the metal ever wears out, I'll buy another.

Terrible Product

Probably worst product I’ve ever purchased. Absolutely terrible. DO NOT BUY. Impossible to assemble, cannot be adjusted. TERRIBLE. ZERO STARTS

Bought this for my 12 year old son after he out grew his other one. This one is more heavy duty compared to the previous one. He likes how it is adjustable allowing you to change the angle the ball comes back to you.

Not the easiest in terms of set-up with the bungee cords. I have had three of them snap already.

Very cheaply made. Gage of metal is so thin & the pins that adjust the angle of bounce are soft and cheap. The retaining steel balls fell out of the pins the very first day. The only good thing is the net. I'm now making a stronger frame out of more durable tubing. I would tell anybody to buy this unless it's for tee ball.

Bar In The Middle

good size solid construction. Fits in my SUV. The bar in the center makes It unusable. Gave it away. But still looking for a unit without the bar or the bar located further back.

Goes Together As Per Instructions

Everything was there and instructions were clear. The tubes are twisted a bit after I put it together but it seems to work perfectly. Good spring and solid construction.

Easy Setup

Took me 30 minutes to set up very simple yet sturdy enough to do the job

My Grandson Loves It

This was purchased for my 7yr old grandson who lives and breathes baseball. It is exactly what he wanted. It is much better than the one he had.

My Baseball Players Love It!

With two baseball players in our home, this pitch back was purchased to get two baseball players out of our home....and in to the backyard. The assembly was very easy, putting the unit quickly in play. The adjustable deflection angles provides a great array of practice positions for one or two players. The target area is very large and provides true bounces. The only issue we've experienced is that a hard toss right at the seam can impact the horizontal center pole. The hinge is easy to adjust and the pins won't be lost. It folded to a reasonable size that will allow for easy storage during the winter offseason.

Quality

Very easy to assemble. Materials appear to be high quality compared to other models

Great Spring Back

I had bought a different pitch back and just returned it because there was just no spring back in the net. So I went for the more money and got this one. Well the net is great. LOTS of spring to it. The only problem is they made a bar go though the middle of it and the ball will hit it and it stops the ball. Not a very good designe there with that bar but other than that it is a great product. Very easy to put to gether I did it myself in 15 minutes.

I Love It

I don't recommend putting it together by yourself get help. Other than that my son lives it. great product
