This was the second rebounder we've tried and it works very well. Our daughter's season was throttled by the coronavirus, like so many other athletes. With courts closed and social distancing in place, it's been difficult to do any drills or practice. She's really enjoyed using this rebounder.

I paid about $60 for this...If I had paid over $100 I'd expect a bit more but for the money it's pretty good. I use it for a portable hoop b-ball return/passer.And for what I'm using it for it's great. It helps to return what can be some pretty funky bounces on makes. For a passer...it's not great. It's too light weight for the heavy basketball and the force of a pass into it, so I'd say use it for a rebounder. Probably works great w baseball/softballs though I have not tried. Fairly easy to assemble. I will bring inside after reading other reviews as I think the bands would deteriorate over time in the elements.

I wish I was younger. Purchasing this for my son was not exactly something I wanted to do. I have probably bought, assembled and been frustrated by at least four "pitch-backs". The materials were shoddy and weak. The instructions barely legible and the fit of the parts was always an issue. Not the case with this pitch-back. Real steel tubing of a thickness that I would consider "beefy". Every part fit snuggly and securely into place and the double net at the top provides confidence for throwing hard and not worrying about damaging or breaking the unit. Very easy to angle the top for grounders or pop flies. Rugged and reliable. A well constructed piece.

We bought this for our grandson. He wanted to play immediately so we put it together in a matter of minutes. He has already had many hours of practice and entertainment with it. It provides different options for bounce backs and is well constructed.

The reviews that lead me to spring for this pitchback were spot on! Excellent quality - in fact, it's probably better than the pitchback I had 40 years ago. Thick, solid aluminum frame with over-engineered hardware at the hinge joint. Bungie, hooks and net all appear robust as well. Storing mine out of the high altitude sun just in case. I can see how the net construction could confuse the assembler - it doubles back on itself on the top third...no need to cut it apart as I read in one review. My overall impression is this pitchback was designed for use in a school athletic program - made to last and take abuse.

We bought this for our 8 year old grandson and hoped it would "fit the bill" and it sure did. It is stable and also allows our granddaughter to use it as a soccer net. The kids love it and that was all we were looking for along with being a really useful "practice" session.

Good pitchback of solid construction. I've had it for a few weeks and my son enjoys playing with it. The bottom of the pitchback gives a solid return to chest height on a thrown ball, the top section would be better for practicing groundballs. The top section can be adjusted to give either a higher or lower return throw but if you want to catch line drives or pop ups you'd be better off throwing at the bottom section. As another reviewer mentioned I had to cut a piece of the netting in order to properly attach it to the metal poles. The netting was the correct size but the top and bottom sections had a string connecting them that made it impossible to connect properly. Once the satring was cut the netting could be attached.

I bought this for winter training outside for softball. I've had 2 in the past (by Rawlings and some other brand) that broke after a few throws, but I just got through 2 hours straight of throwing back and forth, occasionally hitting the metal sides, and it is holding up great. It is made very very very sturdy and the option to change the angle of the top section is great as well. I have played softball for 15 years and this is the first time I found a pitch back that is WORTH the money and LASTS! I actually did not even have to put the stakes in the ground (because the ground was frozen) I just leaned the back part against a wall. If your looking for some extra exercise or practice and you love just throwing the ball around, get this one. I am so glad I got it, it was well worth the money.

Awesome net. Assembly was easy except for the net. Had to cut a small piece to fit; looks like was not cut correctly at factory. That was easy to do once we figured it out. Great product, our son loves it. Would buy it again.
