Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Rukket Pitch Back Trainer - Improve Baseball/Softball Pitching and Throwing Skills with Adjustable Angle Rebounder by Andrew Mclemore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cannot assemble net

FIX: Kotap BB-6B 6" Ball Bungee - worked well. They are longer than the bungee that came with it and allowed me to attach the net to the frame. I then used the one that came with it Used bungee inserted between the new ones to make the mesh even tighter. So it's not about the mesh, it's that the bungee is too short. Grab the 6" with plastic balls (very easy to attach) and you should be able to place your net in place. I have raised my rating from 2 to 3 stars. I had to write about it because it really upset me. The order arrived on time and in good condition. The frame is solid and relatively easy to assemble if you can build simpler IKEA furniture. However, the grid is too small. Exactly as mentioned in several other reviews. Maybe I just got one from a bad batch. I read some other reviews that complained about the difficulty in attaching the mesh. I figured if it was that hard I could use a shoelace stretcher like this: ?keywords=Ice+hockey+skate+key&qid=1558206268&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1 . to stretch the mesh onto the frame. It's still sooooo hard even with 2 people! Strange. I went online and watched a Rukket reflector installation video and I guarantee you the mesh in the video is much looser and larger than the one they sent me. I just ordered this: Kotap BB-6B Ball Bungee 6-Inch to double up on the bungee cords and attach the net to the frame. I hope this doesn't affect the net's ability to bounce right back. This product is a good idea and simple design but poorly executed. The crazy thing is you think the frame is going to be the hard part and the mesh is going to be the easy part. Strength 5/5, ease of assembly 1/5. piss off!
