Review on ⚾️ Improve Your Baseball Skills with the Franklin Sports Pitch Back Baseball Rebounder - Ultimate Pitch Return Trainer and Rebound Net - Master Grounders and Pop Flies from All Angles! by Daniel Morris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I (adult) and grandchildren enjoy it

I enjoy the grid. I find it fun and relaxing to throw him a hard baseball and catch the kickback. I'm in my 60's so I don't throw fastballs and I'm good at it. The grandchildren (5 and 9 years old) like to throw tennis balls at him and try to catch the recoil. The mesh and frame appear strong enough for our use and I'm sure it will last for many years and will definitely leave it inside during our Midwest winters. ASSEMBLY: It's not easy to assemble, I really haven't had any major problems, but I'm quite comfortable. The instructions aren't great - I followed the photo on the box to place the net and bungee cords. Deciding where to place the bungee cords is like a math puzzle of sorts. If you don't like a fun and challenging build, you're probably going to have a hard time. ONE PROBLEM: The pegs that come with this net are designed to allow the legs to be placed in 5 different positions. They are initially well received but I have found that they often fall out and it is very difficult to find them on the lawn. Ooooohhh, I went to the hardware store and bought 2 "long 1/4" pins with a wire loop for locking (see attached photo of the two I bought and one of the original ones that fell out). These replacement pens cost $3.00 each. This would certainly be a nice improvement for the manufacturer. Overall we really like it and would recommend it to people with a similar scenario.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Appearance
