The ball can't fit through the holes? It seems like the bars are too wide to stop a well placed ball

Softballs can't go through. I'm guessing a baseball could, but definitely not a softball.

My daughter is using a 12" ball (USSSA 14 U), and the ball is considerably larger than the gaps in the mask. I don't want to say that the ball "can't" fit through, because I just don't know. We have been fortunate enough to not have experienced a line shot right in the gaps of the mask, but after playing 63 games last year, it has saved her face on many occasions. So much so, that she wears it whenever she plays in the infield, which is 90% of the time. There is always a potential for injury from a line drive hit, but this mask would considerably reduce any damage to the face from such a hit. My opinion is it is well worth the money. If you purchase one, make sure to take the time and get the fit just right before she wears it in a game.

Nope. The fastpitch league my daughter plays in, 10U, uses the smaller 11inch ball and it can't fit through, not even close. I just checked and a baseball doesn't even fit through. It's a great mask. I highly recommend it. Also, my daughter for 10 years old is average size, and the adult size fits perfectly when adjusted correctly.

The ball will hit wire frame first. She loves the mask. She has great visibilty and doesn't hinder her play. We have tried other masks this one is by far the best.

No the ball can't fit through the holes. The placement of the bars allows for better visibility.

This is my second response. I just checked a baseball on the bottom opening and I could get it through if I pushed on it. But softball not even close.

We have the same problem. Fold a small piece of paper and wedge it between the catch and outer ring - that will hold it in place.

There has to be a lip to clamp the net to. A pool table would be too thick for that clamping.

There is a stud protruding from the plastic, so the ball needs to fit in a base with a hole through it.

Sadly no. You would have to find a way to secure it permanently Due to the contour of the ball and cup.

I just tested mine and the silver ball at the top does unscrew. Might yours be on to tight or maybe a defect?

I to had a hanging problem, net did not look like pic. Thought it should be back into hitting area. I use plastic ties, three of them taking several holes of the net into it each and tie to pole going through the green holes, or also the back rib. Behind the Callaway hanging sign. Put one at top, middle and bottom, allow some sag. The sag is what stops the ball, and prevents you from tearing up the net! Glenn

Not sure what to tell you. Maybe you are not getting the two halves pushed together firmly before you fill them. I have had a tiny ridge in the middle of the ball. I tend to underfill rather than over fill. I also boil and then cool the water before I fill them so they are more clear.

No it won't. The ball fits in the very end and there's not room for more than one ball at a time.

Make sure the table stand is pushed completely over the ball and snaps into position. Then tighten the lock nut. I had the same problem when i first opened the holder. But they really work well.

No the hoop is not wide enough. However it comes with a small ball when you order the product.

Make sure that you reset the ball to make sure it isn't near the end of the game. Otherwise, it takes awhile to get it done. I gave them as gifts and they were a big hit

It should be tight (or the ball wouldn't bounce back very far at all) but will fit right if you have it and the straps on right. Look at the picture and make sure you aren't doing anything wrong. You may want to try all of the corners first and then fill in the sides.

I think it requires a long 3/4" diameter shank. The shank is the threaded bolt beneath the ball. Balls have either a 3/4" diam or 1" diam shank. Yours is probably 1" diam. Get a 2.5" or 3" long shank that is 3/4" diameter and it will fit.

I'm not sure why others are having problems, I installed mine two months ago and currently have a broom, a duster and a Swiffer hanging and they have not moved. Put them in the opening, push down slightly and the ball locks it into place.

The plastic outside doesn't rotate. Everything takes place within the ball and projects outwards. You can change the inside rotation with the settings.

What we ended up doing is taking a very big flat-bladed screwdriver and wedging it in between one side of the hex bolt and the metal of the bottom bar. We then used a great big wrench to turn the ball to tighten it. (So we turned the ball and held the nut in place as opposed to holding the ball still and turning the nut). Doing it this way did mar the rubbery covering of the unit a little, but it also got the job done.
