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.

Sturdy pitchback. Easy to assemble. The net is strong. The elastic fasteners keep the net taut. Only problem are the stakes. They do not hold the frame down. A few throws and they come up. I haven't tried my camping stakes yet but you need to tie the frame down so it won't move. Only other issue was the width of the net area. If you are not an accurate thrower, you will be fetching balls. I placed the pitchback near a high fence so I wouldn't have to fetch too far. But improving accuracy is part of using a pitchback! Overall a real good product. A little too pricey though. ~$50 ragne should be the price.

This is a pretty good quality net and solid frame system. I've seen far less sturdy frames and lighter duty nets on other systems. The thin metal ground pegs are worthless. You'll need to improvise some better quality ground stakes as what's supplied will pull out of the ground every few throws. I substituted 16 inch long tent stakes connected over the frame by strap ties. Once I installed my own ground stakes the frame never moved again. It must be staked down solidly to work properly. I'm throwing a heavy softball and once anchored this is a good quality product.

put it together in 15 minutes and my kid uses it for lacrosse...works well. quite solid construction...and has stakes to stake it to the ground as well...I recommend it

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.

Champion Sports Multi-Sport Net Pitch Back Screen is a nice heavy duty piece of equipment. I had a pitch back when I was a kid, but it was not nearly this nice. I like the fact that you can kick a soccer ball on the ground and it will pop up back to you so that you don't have to bend over.
