SKLZBaseball Rebound Net - Durable Pitch-Back Trainer for Enhanced Fielding Practice & Skill Development

In love with this bounce back net! My son uses it in the backyard frequently. I love that you can adjust it so the ball can either bounce back higher or lower. Easy to assembly and to fold up and store away when not in use.

It works great! It's the only return net I've seen that is sturdy enough to handle throws from an adult. I don't throw near the heat that I did when I was young, but I can still tiptoe into the low/mid 80's on occasion. It handles it just fine.

Daughter loves the net but no red tape came in the box despite being listed as a part on the instructions.

Our kids love this they play with it almost everyday some times two or three times a day

This was purchased as a gift for my son's 8th birthday. Unfortunately, it hasn’t held up to just three weeks of use. The netting already has two holes in it. This is with normal use — no rough play or abuse. He's not a Cy Young hopeful throwing smoke, he's just starting out in rec league. The material just doesn't seem strong enough for regular practice.Additionally, the stakes that are supposed to hold the net in place are not effective. They constantly come loose and need reinforcement to keep the frame stable and net standing. This is frustrating and unreliable, especially if you're using it on grass or uneven ground.Overall, I’m disappointed with the quality. For the price, I expected it to last at least through a season. Save your money and just have your kid throw a ball against a wall — it’ll probably last longer and provide better bounce-back.

Item not as described. There is no red strike zone and the whole net is black. No instructions in box. It does work well bouncing balls back.

I bought this while it was on sale and I feel like I got a bargain. But even at full retail price, I feel like it's worth the money. It's a surprisingly well made piece of equipment for the price point. I think what surprised me the most was how the metal pieces didn't feel cheap. The metal felt thick had a nice smooth paint job and the pieces all went together nice and snugly. The spring locks had a nice resistance to them and the holes they locked into on the opposing piece were all clearly punched so there were no poor fittings, which made for a sturdy frame once assembled. I thought the net was too small at first when I held it up to the frame before I secured it but the bungees stretched it to the edges of the frame and it filled in fine. The yellow strike zone is a great feature to have. It makes it very easy to see the location of your pitches. My son loves it. Now he can stop throwing his baseball against my tree to practice his grounders. And I like it too because I just bought a new baseball glove and it needs some breaking in. All that being said, there is room for improvement. First, the net isn’t terribly springy so the rebound comes back at half the speed that you threw it. To get any sort of useable rebound for practicing pop flies or normal catching, you really have to throw with some force. Second, the rear support that sits on the setting to adjust the angle is very insecure. It kind of just sits against a piece of plastic and if you throw hard enough, it could knock one side loose and you have to go fix it. But that seems to be rare so it's not too big a deal. I imagine a small bungee wrapped around the two bars would solve this problem if it ever really became one.

Wouldn’t waste money on this. Spend a little more money for the better rebounders. Two stars instead of 1 because the net is good and rebounds as advertised. Low rating because the net is terribly balanced and doesn’t stay in place. You will spend more time adjusting the net than you will throwing at it. Had to buy stronger stakes to hold the net in place but the frame still twists with every ball against the net.
