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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made and durable back cover with thoughtful features

Got this back cover to replace another for my 14 year old baseball player and 10 year old lacrosse player. It has a few nice features that make it better than most other pitchbacks we've used. Excellent design and performance. Read on below to find out some of the things that make this back sofa different from others. It comes in parts like all the others, but instead of spring clasps, the frame is held together with easy-to-install nuts and bolts. **This is really important.** Beveled back frames with spring locks twist whenever the device is moved, making precise rebounding very difficult. They also twist when hit hard. The Rukket pattern stays stable with a real bounce. The rear support arm is foldable and easily adjustable. This makes it easy to stow, move and change the rebound angle. The method is to pull on the supplied leash which will release the 2 spring loaded locking pins. Very easy to change for different workouts. The frame has rubber feet to keep it on a hard surface like concrete. A lot of pitchbacks don't have anything here, so 1) they slide uselessly on hard surfaces and 2) scratch and start to rust. It also comes with durable pins for soft surfaces like grass. The rear is stable on our turf, so we didn't use them; However, they don't seem to bend like many other grounding studs. The reticle is pre-installed and made of high-quality adhesive tape. This eliminates the lengthy installation. On every other swing section we've purchased, the target material doesn't stand up to outdoor use and fails quickly. The mesh bungee holding it to the frame was easy to install and felt solid. The cords on our last "quality" pitchback frayed and fell out fairly quickly. A really nice thoughtful touch is a tool to stretch the mesh. This is a metal handle with hooks to tighten the net so you can attach the bungee clips. A really nice touch that I haven't seen anywhere else. Overall, this appears to be a rollback made by people who were frustrated by the shortcomings of other rollbacks and wanted to do something about it.
