Pitch Back Baseball Softball Lacrosse Rebounder Net 4 x 6 ft – Heavy Duty PitchBack Series - Practice Pitching, Catching, Throwing, Fielding - Adjustable Angles by Flair Sports

My son has just begun lacrosse as a sport and we wanted to purchase an affordable bounce back before investing too much into the sport. This is kept outside and it has held up and is durable so far. It has been more than a month since we assembled it. Assembly was easy enough.

I played and coached baseball for over 40 years. My son called me a few days ago and told me my 5 year old grandson was having trouble with the accuracy of his throwing. He also was about 50/50 on his ability to catch fly balls. He asked my opinion on what he could do to help him improve his accuracy and catching. I suggested a pitch back net because it requires an accurate throw to get a rebound that was close enough to catch.A pitch back net reinforces good throwing mechanics and accuracy while providing the opportunity to improve your fielding skills. The person throwing to the net instantly gets feedback. Bad throws either miss the net, hit in a spot that rebounds the ball left or right making them go get it. Perfect throws come straight back to them. It offers the opportunity for parents to stand back and watch, and allow the child to make the needed adjustments in the throwing techniques. The parent can then correct small errors and reinforce proper throwing and fielding mechanics.My son lives 5 hours way so I can not get directly involved so I got on Amazon and found the Flair Sports Pitch back Rebound net and shipped it to my son. It was delivered in 2 days. Easy to assemble and set-up. Seems tough enough to last a few years.Just a few hours with the Flair Sports Pitch back Rebound net and my grandson was showing noticeable improvement. My son has been sending videos and pictures of my grandson using the net for a few days. I am feeling pretty good about buying this pitch back net for him.

I bought this for my son several years ago and I have to admit we have not been kind to it. It stays outside most of the year in all sorts of weather and has been used for both lacrosse and soccer. This spring we had some bungees break but the frame and net were still in good shape. I contacted Flair Sports, was able to order a new set of bungees, and my son was back to practicing in no time. It's been well worth the price.

...but you have to be able to HIT it! I like this thing. I've almost worn my arm out and I had no idea what good exercise it was chasing the ball after I MISS the whole thing. The assembly was a breeze UNTIL you get to the last five or six little bungees that hold the net taut. I had to resort to pliers to get it to stretch enough to hook. But that's GOOD because when it's finished it's a flat net ready to take your goofiest pitch. It's unforgiving, if you miss the "strike zone" you better be ready to quick step right or left because the ball's coming back alright, but physics has taken over. It's adjustable for however you like it. Mine is laid back at a 45 degree angle and like that I can hit the Zone and the ball comes lobbing pleasantly back up high. If you bring it more vertical, be ready for a fast return right in your wheelhouse. I use a variety of garage-sale balls, my favorite is some sort of plastic bowling ball about the size of a softball that weighs a couple of pounds. It's more of a workout to toss it but I don't want it to hit me on the head, it's hard as a stone. After that thing a regular baseball feels like a powder puff. Basically the rebound net is a little expensive for what it is, but it sure works well. It's probably a good idea to get it out of the sun while you're not using it; those little bungees look like they wouldn't weather very well and the sun is murder on elastic/plastic/ rubbery things. Very stable in my ragged-out ghetto grass, but a sandbag or two might be needed if you have an arm like The Big Unit. Just hit the Zone and you'll love it. If you miss the Zone you'll have to argue with the Umpire (my big goofy dog) who loves to grab my misses and not give them back! A good quarantine activity for a 67 year old fart who misses actual baseball. Have fun, JEFF

Order this for my son who is really into baseball. Works great, easy to assemble, move around the yard and adjust for different types of bell returns. Top notch customer service from Josh at Flair sports as well. If you’re looking for a rebounding net this is the one.

The product is great, and the customer service is even better. The bungee cord started to wear down over a few years of being exposed to the elements, so I contacted the company. They sent me a new net and bungee for a very fair price! Buy with confidence!

Easy to assemble, sturdy (we’ve had for two years, used almost daily, and they look and function like new). The thing that really sets this product apart is the customer service. It is above and beyond. I reached out via the website because a couple clips broke on the strike zone, and was emailed back almost immediately by the president of the company, who sent me a new one to replace the one that broke and another one to boot! (I haven’t had a a chance to look at it, but my son was very excited and said it’s a strike zone for a year or so from now.) I wish more companies were still like this. Best purchase experience perhaps ever!

Way better than the one I had as a kid. My kids love this thing. They set it up all by themselves. A real good product. I highly recommend.
