Using a lacrosse ball, will it bounce back no matter where you hit the screen or are the spaces in the netting too big except for the orange square

Unsure of a lacrosse ball and its size. Have only used a softball and it does bounce anywhere on the top part of the screen. The orange square can be adjusted to any size you want to use as your target area but the area around it on the top portion of the screen will allow the ball to bounce back too. Hope that helps.

Space between the net strands are 1-5/8" and do not deform much so that spacing should hold tight.For comparison, a lacrosse ball is around 2.5" in diameter which is just smaller than a baseball so I think a lacrosse ball would be fine.

Netting is consistent size throughout. Lacrosse ball should work just fine.

The squares in the netting are all the same size, the orange square is just ribbon that you weave through the netting to make yourself a target.

The specs say it is for baseball and lacrosse (and other sports). I would guess that the company tested both before putting the sports in their promos. Also, a baseball and lacrosse ball are nearly the same size in circumference and weight.

It's heavy enough that it could be placed on it's side to do ground balls. I really love this for lacrosse. My 11 year old just made an elite team from practicing with this.

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

No, it does not bounce like a regular ball. It has a slight rebound if thrown at a wall.

Mine fit a 3' deep x 4' high x 5' wide goal, so I would say it should just fit. The net worked well for awhile. I left it outside through the winter and it got stretched, faded, and beat up. I would suggest bringing it inside at end of season.

We just used a hook, similar to the 3M; the hoop and net are light. That being said, if your child jumps or rough-houses on the bed, there is potential for the net to be pulled out. We have had ours almost a year and have had no problems but we are very strict about not playing with the net. Hope that helps.

Official size goal .. the back stop netting seems to be large enough to stop most missed shots. great for the money. only problem is that the netting will tear on back stop. wish it was heavier duty

Yes a standard ball can fit in the net with ease. It was a great buy, I know you will be happy with this product...

No. This ball it does not bounce. If I drop it, stays there. Definitely is just to squeeze in your hands. I exercise my hands when I am watching TV.

Yes the net stays in place when the ball hits it. It is very securely attached to the table. btw you need a wooden table...plastic table the ball will not bounce...tried to set it up outside on a folding table this summer--no go.

It's just a very weak bounce back. It won't give you the bounce back of a rebounder; it's not pulled tight enough. I have a rebounder set up next to our goal w/ Predator b/c the Predator doesn't act like a rebounder. LOVE the Predator, though, for it's intended use.

It was designed for soccer. You might* be able to get away with using it for lax however I have reservations: The height: check the stats on the tekk website it's wider than it is tall. The net: it is very strong and will rebound a soccer ball. However lax ball is has less area because it's a smaller ball size. I would see about try to see one up close/physically before dropping 300+ on this.

I haven't had any trouble with the net. Not sure what others were complaining about. We love this trampoline and highly recommend it.

Hi Mindy, Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question because I did not end up using it last summer. My was in the bassinet element of the pack n play and the netting would fall on my son's face or he would pull on it. Sorry I'm not much help. I wish you luck.

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. : )

No. This product won't rebound. The net is slack and effectively stops the ball. It also breaks the fiber glass tension rods after only a few hours of use. I love the concept, but the product is flawed.
