Review on Franklin Sports Basketball Rebounder Adjustable by Will Rahman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I really wanted to love it! Just a waste of money.

I found it fairly easy to put together, I did it myself in under an hour while watching TV. It comes well packaged and with 2 sand tubes. I discovered this when my whole carpet was covered in sand. It didn't matter much. There are 2 tubes filled with sand which help weigh it down for use but that doesn't help it stay in place at all. The elastic ball bungee that you use to attach the net to the frame gets VERY tight when you attach the net, you can break your nails doing this, my hands really hurt for days after assembly. I've tried using this with a 5# med ball and a standard weight basketball and the ball does NOT bounce back like you would expect, it barely bounces off the net anyway and falls dead to the ground so it's pretty much useless. I was hoping to use it as a replacement for my exercise regimen, but no, it's a waste of money. This should NOT be used for basketball practice, maybe just soccer practice or practice?

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Very expensive
