I wonder how far would people think it rebounds back for HS player throwing hard?

My 8th grade daughter is able to get about 25 ft out of it. I'm sure a HS player could get more out of it. We have had the rebounder for 9 months and are very happy with the product.

My 9 yr old loves it for fielding, mostly in our hall INDOORS. As for batting, it is only good at close range in light wind. I do recommend this product for ages 7-12. It has 3 speed settings that range from soft toss to maybe 45 mph at close range. Great motor for the price. If you want to spend $$$, players and coaches rave about the Sklz hurricane 4 for batting.

I am confused by your question but if you turned it around it would be exactly like the other side. It would rebound the ball back to you.

It has been a couple of years since ours has been used so my recollection isn't sharp. I think some pitches will come back as grounders if you stand back far enough for them to drop. Raising the back "legs" might help but it will not be the equal of a coach tossing or hitting groundballs. Sorry, wish I could remember more.

Yes ,, it needs to be coming pretty straight at you and at not much of an angle or distance.On the field behind the catcher is more accurate than behind the backstop,unless the backstop is fairly close.

It would depend on how hard you throw, but I would not be too worried about that.

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He uses it to pitch to and to field grounders. He likes it but I can't say because I haven't seen him use it with a baseball. He throws football passes into it too.

Very lil chance of shattering the backboard in my experience opinion. The hoops and backboards are in great condition after 3 months of constant use in league play with dunks throughout season.

Good question. As a former catcher I can say that it will give you support for your catching hand for all of that constant pounding. I think it will provide some support for your throwing arm but you might find it restricting in how flexible your hand/wrist will be when grabbing for the ball say on a bunt attempt. But it will not protect you from getting hit. It doesn't have that type of cushioning protection.

The Spalding High-Bounce is exactly as advertised - a high-bouncing ball! :) It is about the size of a racquetball (just a hair bigger). If you drop the ball and bounce it (using very little force), it will bounce back to about waist level, allowing you to catch it easily. As you increase the force of the bounce, you will get a higher response (the rule of physics applies very well here - Action / Reaction). Hope this helps!

No, I don't think so. The ball has more of a solid core, not hollow...that is kind of bouncy/foamy. I don't think it would hit right.

If not used properly, the cable can become jammed at the end where height adjustment of the ball is made. That's what happened to the portable trainer I have when used by my son's 13/14yr old teammates. A college hitter shouldn't have that problem. As long as contact with the ball is proper and consistent, he can get hundreds of repetitions. I also recommend not leaving it outside where the weather can cause the ball to deteriorate. Fun gift though.

It's gonna be good. Only thing is ball is a little heavy sa when he throws it makes a lot of noise and it could brake stuff.

I think it plays well for young adults. If the ball is rolled on concrete though it will scuff - we laid out some indoor/outdoor carpet for the lane and that solved it.

Is he a avid player how old is he and does he throw forehand or back hand the most lol yes it all does matter it a way

I would not use to block balls since the object is for the ball to be bounced back to the thrower. It would just nail the catcher from behind.
