That's what we use it for. It works fine. Can't recall the original brand of pitch back but it's the large galvanized frame. Much like the pictured one.

Hi Andrew. This is a glove that anybody can use. I bought it to play the infield but it was actually a little bit too big for the infield, for me anyway, and I have a big hand. So I used it to play the outfield, first base, and pitch. Once you break it in it has a very nice feel to it. Good luck.

I don't think nets have age limits. :) That said, compared to a full size NHL net, this is much lighter, and a bit smaller, so the more serious the game and the larger the players, the greater chance of the net bouncing around a bit. It'll hold up, though.

Call customer service. We ordered this last year for xmas and the electronic scoreboard did not work. Customer Service was helpful and the replacement part sent in just a couple of days. Another option for the nets (assuming you are talking about the nylon and not the actual rims) is to tape to the rim. I did this because I found the nets loose and always slipping off - black gorilla tape did the trick.

Should be okay because the whole net is encompassed by an elastic. This may be hard to envision but if you put it onto your net frame and let the bottom "corners" of the net pull in, it'll be a nice fit. What you'll see is that the two lower "corners" of the netting will pull in so that the bottom-back of the net area has netting on the ground. Wish I could make it clearer, but I can't. Basically, you should be fine.

These are made with synthetic/fake leather, so they aren't nearly as durable, hence the cheaper price. I use mine for batting practice with my 6 year old.

I don't know for sure. Though it's definitely not an exact replacement part, there is enough stretch that you might be able to loop it around the frame and thru the outer net and latch back onto its own ball. Worth a try.

I just replaced my net. I went to Epic sports. Here is a link to their site: http://soccer.epicsports.com/cat/13/goal-nets.html I did a bit of research and there are a couple of attributes you want to look at. The first is the material and the second is the thickness of the netting. There are two main ones used: Polyethylene and high tenacity polypropylene (HTCC). HTCC is much stronger than polyethylene, so it can be thinner. Therefore, 3mm HTCC is a much stronger net than a 3mm Polyethylene net. I bought a 3mm HTCC hexagonal net and paid $112 (includes shipping) and it is way more robust than the cheap one that ships with the goal. I can't ever seeing it breaking. Depending on usage, you may be able to get a cheaper one (like half what I paid) and have it last for a long, long time. Mine is likely overkill, but I didn't really have any guidance when I bought mine. Hope this helps.

Call Louisville a Slugger, and have your receipt? My son had a bat a few years back the he loved!! However we had to replace it twice, as long as you have a receipt, I don't know why it would be a problem? I am not a LVL Slgr rep, but they stood by their product before

I think you measure the jumping surface. All you get is the net. If you need everything else look at getting an enclosure not a replacement net.

Wish I knew of a replacement too. Is the only alternative an iTouch/iPad/tablet and MLB.com app? My son loved that scorecard...

thanx for the info--being in my financial condition, it is either wait another few months to purchase or pull the trigger and get a "used like new"--i have already missed the ncaa and the masters--i hate to miss all of baseball season! am looking forward to your review.

Amazon replaced the first net that I had because it broke shortly after I bought it. The second time it broke they didn't because I had it longerguess you could try the manufacturer.........I gave up in disgust after the second one broke.

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

My kids use it for football (baseball too) and it works well but best if you hit the tighter woven area in the middle. If you are looking for something purely for football or baseball for that matter, I would buy a different net with tighter weaving but this one is good for multi-use

This would be excellent for baseball. Sizing is the same as with any athletic supporter(i.e. jock)
