    The Bownet "Big Mouth" is the Big Daddy of the backyard hitting regime my high school son uses between games for hitting off a tee and soft toss. Does not fall over at all regardless of wind or balls hit into it. See picture in review. Heavy duty hardware/poles/net/bag included. Nothing like the junk seen in stores Easton is selling for almost the same price. Must use tie down stakes provided. Sets up and stores easily in carrying bag provided. Does not come with directions, but a parent or teen should be able to setup using square peg, square hole mentality :). The issue I have with this product is Quality Control department at Bownet must be lacking and trusting the Chinese manufacturer to inspect materials. The net had a "tear" in it "Brand New" out of the box it shipped in from overseas. See picture. The net is of good quality other than the tear. Sports Authority gets ***** Five Stars. See Service/Delivery Comments.Harware/Product : ***** - Five StarsGood Net but torn : *** - Three Stars Mfg. Quality Control : ** - Two Stars

    We have been using a Big Mouth Bow Net at softball practice. I thought I had ordered the same thing as the names were exactly the same BUT when I opened the package I found that the one Sports Authority was selling was a cheaper version. The poles are HALF the diameter of the one we were using and the material used to connect to the pole looks like a cheap plastic instead of canvas. It works fine but concerned about the long time durability, so it might go back.

        My son uses this with all his buddies in the back yard for tee work. It gives them an easy way to practice and get stronger, level swings, without needing to go to the park or a cage. Well worth the money.

            Great product for batting practice or pitching practice. Holds up well in windy conditions. It is easy to carry around in the over-the-shoulder bag and sets-up/takes-down quickly.

              Great product that i bought for my kids (11,9, and 5) to improve their batting. Easy and simple concept. Showed my kids once how to set it up and they now do it all on their own. So whenever they have spare time they can set it up anywhere and take some cuts. Cheaper than the other brands, but seems to be well built and should last.

                    I use this net to do tee work and soft toss batting practice. It's pretty much the gold standard for portable nets - Much easier to put up and tear down than the other tension rod nets. I have a friend that got one with a more heavy duty base that actually snaps out on hinges rather than requiring assembly each time. Couldn't find that one online and I would have preferred it. Other than that, it's great.

                      Great Design and easy to setup. The storage bag is more comfortable to carry to the field, than the Jugs net. No need to stake it down, it stays up in medium to light winds. The large mouth keeps all the balls in an organized pocked and easy to gather them up and get the next batter hitting quickly. Great product....
