Review on ⚾️ Enhance Your Baseball and Softball Skills with the SKLZ PitchBack Pitching Net and Rebounder by Mark Dahmer

I bought this for my nephew as a thank you and also to help him when he tries his hand at baseball. It's a great tool, especially for him because he wants to practice being a pitcher or outfielder. This device helps both at the same time. The concept is simple: throw a ball at a red box and the ball will bounce at you at an angle of 30-45 degrees, allowing you to catch some good pop-up balls. While some of the energy is lost in the physics of the ball's impact and change in speed, most of it is returned to you. If you throw it too high, the angle deviates higher and you have to climb to catch the incoming ball. If you throw too low, it will come back to you as a grounder (great if you want to play shortstop). The best part is that you can play alone for as long as you want. A pitch machine basically means the same pitch every time, and you have to keep reloading the ball when playing solo. If you want to stay in the middle of the field, you have to chase balls. With a throw net you only catch what you throw and if your goal isn't too bad you can play with a ball (hardball or softball) for hours. As a pro tip, if you're as bad at throwing and catching as I was in the morning, get close to the net and practice putting your light on the red square. They say practice makes perfect, but in fact practice makes habit, so only perfect practice makes perfect. Refine your technique and aim at shorter distances, then over time begin to pull back and build strength - while maintaining your aim and technique. If you practice properly, you can expand your range later with less effort.
