Could you use this to hit a baseball into off a tee?

I think the net is way too light weight for that. After about 1,000 regular golf balls, the webbing started to fray and let balls through, so now I have a canvas target hung from the net to catch the balls. I wouldn't do that mod for baseballs, though, because I think it would still tear the net.

Yes it is definitely small enough for golf balls. We use it as a lacrosse goal backstop but have also hit golf balls into it. No issues.

I don't see why not, but bear in mind it is for softball. The openings will allow a baseball to make contact with your face if hit.

I don't know but I wouldn't think so. It is used to sweat the oil out of a ball

I think you could use it for that but it would be hard to see where your pellet went. You can put a paper target over this target with 2 simple golf tees holding the paper up. That would work. I love thus target works great for my bow.

Prob depends on the age/size of the batter. The net is not stretched super tight, so the ball pushes the net back 6-12" at the point of impact, and the net is not real heavy, so the entire unit flexes and moves some if hit by a ball moving fast enough. So for smaller players, you would be fine, but for bigger ones it might be dangerous. We use this screen at 40-50'

If I were a softball player I would use this with a baseball. If you train using a smaller ball then hit a bigger ball during games it should be easier to be successful.

Hitting rocks? You'd be better off with an aluminum bat. Maybe with a baseball. But not rocks.

I think it probably would work. The launch leather piece is smaller than a tennis ball; but I believe it coud be done quit well with a little practice. You could probably lauch it at least 50 yards with the sling shot.

The machine is well designed for the intended "lite" ball; I do not believe this machine is designed for "hard" baseball use; I would invest in a machine specifically designed to throw a hard baseball.

You just need to make contact with something (the floor, maybe a rubber tee, something like that for it to register as a hit. Although I believe if you hit the floor your numbers may be a little off. I have a little mat (like a driving range mat) with a long tee coming out of it to act as the ball and it works fine for me. Awesome little product.

Most definitely. I use it for kids, but just took an adult out to work on his hitting. Excellent product.

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.

I haven't used softballs, but I would think you could. I do use real baseballs, if that helps any.

Yes it can. The suspended ball and its fixings can be completely removed rather easily leaving just the net. Hit into it or pitch into it, it does both. The angle of the net can be adjusted to bounce back grounders, line drives or pop ups. The net comes with cloth tape you weave into the net to create a visual strike zone when used as a pitch back net.

Yes, you can. I used it for outdoor golf cage. Very good mat to hit the golf ball.

I have not tried it. I have been told you can, but it will tear real softballs up quickly.
