Review on ⚾ Superior Performance: Franklin Sports MLB 7' x 7' Flexpro Baseball Net by Jason Unruh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad - the strike zone could be better.

I ordered this net to give my son a chance to practice hitting when I can't catch him. Overall it works very well for what it was designed for. The construction is solid and the materials are of good quality and strong enough for our use. My son loves to work alone. There are a few things to keep in mind when using this product. The first is the "strike zone", if your child is under 12 or 13 it will be a little over the top especially if you place them behind the plate where the trap would normally be. Not such a big deal, but just something to be aware of. The next one may be good or bad, but the net is actually not very wide. My son regularly "misses" balls past him. If you want him/her to know when he's really missed the target that gives good feedback, but if you have something behind you that you don't want to hit with the ball you might be at risk of taking damage. . Finally, I wish the setup and tear down was quicker in practice, but overall it's still pretty good. I'm probably picking a 4 star rating but for me it would have been a perfect product if the strike zone wasn't so high, the stitches were a little wider and went down quicker.
