I am thinking about getting the 7x7 net for my SO and his 50 & Over Travelling Softball Team. The guys hit and throw hard. Will this net hold up?

Yea, I play college baseball and I use it alot. I'd give it an 4.5 of 5 stars. Only reason it wouldn't get 5 is because nothing is perfect but this is well worth it. The price was 91 when I bought it, it has raised so I wouldn't wait because it's getting more popular. And it was shipped fast.

It will sure hold up. This is a great net. I use it for 11U baseball and 16U fastpitch teams. The system goes up fast and anchors in with four "u" tent stakes.Really compact and is up and down in minutes. The net has plenty of give so that us old guys can swing away!

I have stretched it over huge heavy loads of bagged leaves in the bed of my pickup truck and it has not torn. It seems to be made of quality bungee cord material. Let me suggest though that one might do well to remove 12 of the 16 hooks as all you really need are the corner hooks. The excess hooks, if left on, present a huge problem with the whole net getting snarled up like a Gordian knot. I have stretched this net from the front tie downs, up and over bags that were 2' higher than the cab and then connected to the bottom of the rear bumper with no problems. But, of course, I lash a few pieces of 550 nylon line over the top to prevent shifting and to secure the load more snugly.

I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs. I hardly play golf and when I do I don't keep score. Seems to make my round a lot happier. I would perhaps count the number of 'good' shots as the best way to measure progress. That aside, this net is just fine for me. I usually hit around 45 balls a day into it, say 5 times a week. I've missed the net 5 times that I can remember. It's great. One of the things I got with it is the PGM3660 3' x 5' Emerald Par Golf Mat. It is very good and very substantial. So I'd recomment the smaller net, and if you start splaying shots wildly, move closer. Just a thought. Jim

I agree that for soccer, it may not hold up. Even with baseball, unless it's staked firmly into the ground, the net will move back if a ball is hit hard.

Our frame is in good shape and my son gives it some powerful kicks. Our net, however has some holes

We love this net. It is very nice, and heavy, and durable. I believe it just Velcro-ed to the net post. If your net posts are on the outside, I would think it will work. We left ours up all summer, and it is no worse the wear. Go for it.

Yes, that should be no problem. Just wrap the extra net material around the upright and pin it in place with most anything-i.e., a clothes pin, etc. Just to add a little extra, I've found the net system to be anything but flimsy, I filled the bases with sand because it was going to be used in a gym; it will hold a lot; about 1/2 bag. Outside, water will do the job. With those weights anchoring them, they're not going to move under ordinary circumstances. If you use the set for pickle ball, you will find it to be great fun; I can see where it's the fastest growing sport in the US.

Well if u put ur net at 7ft u r way to low!!!!! Unless u r just party players trying to feel tough... U r hurting real players and if kids that play school vball r using that u r hurting them by being to low. I coach 3 clkub teams and youngest team is made up of 1st & 2nd graders and they play on a 7'. 6" net... So if u r trying to help kids u need to raise it

If u add some kinda weight like a sand bag or bricks at the base of the net in back , I think you should be fine.

Yes this net is made for real balls. I always use real balls and have no issues at all.

My grandson for whom we bought the pitch back net just happens to be visiting. He loves it for lacrosse, but does not think it would work for batting practice. I think he is a reliable source. : )

My son was 9 or 10 when he got his first rebounder. His kicks were definitely strong enough to rebound off the net so he could keep shooting. I just replaced it 2 years later as the bungees and net was worn, and he started shooting through the net. Could have extended the life by putting it away in harsh weather, but very happy with it. Also it was cheaper to buy the whole system then to replace the bungees and net!

its been over a year since I read their promo....it comes with one net that can be adjusted for different heights. we just use it for volleyball and it has held up well...

The net seems pretty durable but i'm not sure how much weight it will hold. You obviously need some method of supporting/attaching the net above the ground. The net was pretty inexpensive, so I would try it.

It worked well with a softball/baseball. Have to order another one because it broke but I thinks it's more dup to user error than the actual net.

My son plays catcher for his travel baseball team. And he wears the shield under his catchers gear and has no problem throwing the ball or throwing someone out at second. Range of movement is not restricted even under his catchers chest protector. It fits so well he wears it hours after the game, and I have seen him shot basket ball with it on too. So it shouldn't be a problem.
