I bought this pitchback last year and it has gotten a lot use from my 3 boys. The frame is excellent and can be positioned easily to return the ball a number of ways. There are also a number of issues. The crossbar is in a position so that balls thrown in the middle of the net hit the crossbar and don't bounce back. In addition, this repeated use wore out the netting in the middle and we now have a big hole. The netting is attached by small bungee cords and substantially all have either been worn away from dragging the pitchback, or just disintegrated by weather. The pitchback is about 14 months old and I now have to replace all the cords and get a new net as well. For the price paid, I would have liked better quality for these components.

you can always sew up the tears in the netting until it finally has to be replacesd. It is pathetic that you have to pay over $120 to get a sturdy frame and junky netting. I cannot wait until the bundy cords dry rot.

I ordered the wrong item online.Icalled and was told it could be taken back to the store to exchange for the right item (batting net) The store gave me a VERY hard time and almost didn't exchange it. I had to talk to 2 managers to get this straighten out. Very bad customer service.

This is a strong pitchback. Can take a fast lax ball and throw it right back.

This was an upgrade for my Son. We had a lower priced unit for several years. This rebounder is the real deal. Becareful if you are thinking you are getting a small unit this stands 6 feet tall 3 feet wide. this is very realistic for pop ups and grounders come back at amazing speed (be ready). We use it for baseball, soccer and Lacrosse practice. with a $25 off coupon this unit was [$] which made getting this unit over the ones in teh $79-90 range a no brainer. This is light years better. Be prepared for the real thing. also set aside about 30 minutes to assemble properly. The delivery by Sports Authority was very quick. The order said 7-10 days we got it in 4, pretty good.
