The product looked decent and the metal frame looked rigid. However the design is poor. Though you need a lot of tension for the ball to bounce back, there is a gap between the net and the frame. If you are just a few inches off the strike zone, you will either hit the frame or the ball will go through the gap. I didn't even throw the ball hard and already after one use, the netting is starting to break apart to a point where there's gaps in the netting. This is not a good product.
Bought this for my 10 year old. In less than four hours the bungees that attach the net to the frame broke. Went to eh SKLIZ website looking for replacements, but none available. I will be returning this item. I am truly disappointed in the quality of this product.
I bought it for my son and I to throw and have fun with, but it proved unsafe and even with light throws from me it would come apart and I would have to set it all up again. Just a consistent mess!!
I use this for water polo and the ball does not come back. Also, when you set it up it sits crooked and you constantly have to rejust it. Also, its it hard to get the net to attach to the bungey cords. I definately would not recommend this to a friend or buy it again.
