Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Most nets cost around $40 or $50. I saw this and thought, "hey, a good deal". Well, it wasn't. The problems start as soon as you open the box. The directions weren't easy to follow. Then we went to put it in (you can't use it on cement). We tried to put the stakes in the ground and it took quite a while, several different spots of grass, and a malet to finally get them to go in. I throw a ball - very lightly - at it and it tipped over. We put a few large cemement blocks and placed them on the two base tubes. If you throw it too high, it starts to collapse again and the ball comes back slowly. When you throw it too low, the ball bounces twenty feet behind you and way to high for you to catch. When you throw it in the middle, you get a line drive, but you it's not fast. So, I tried moving back farther, and I threw the ball literally no faster than 40 miles per hour and it collapsed. That's why it can't be used for pitching. If it's used for hitting balls into, the balls go all over the place instead of just falling. Well, I put it together again and threw another ball. This ball was even slower but it hit the side, and that side collapsed. I put it together, AGAIN, and threw the ball. Now, this ball was thrown around 30 MPH, and I've only been using the product for a minute or two. And the net literally rips. I threw a ball - only 30 MPH - and it rips! You may be trying to save money by using this product. But don't! Either buy the more expensive product, don't buy one at all, or make your own -- you can probably do a better job with your own hands and a $10 budget. The product wasn't worth the money at all. Five minutes of fixing the net until it broke was not what I expected.
