SKLZBaseball Rebound Net - Durable Pitch-Back Trainer for Enhanced Fielding Practice & Skill Development

Time will tell on how well it holds up, but initially it looks like a good one. Typically rebounders don't last long, but there are a couple reasons I think this may be better.Sun is the killer on rebounders. The bungie cords break down in the sunshine and lose elasticity then break. The Skilz rebounder is smaller, lighter and easier to fold up than the other rebounders we've had so we are much more likely to fold it up and get it stored properly.Skilz is more likely to have and sell you replacement bungies when you need them. Rukket was our last one and they had zero interest in offering replacement cords.The design makes for easy assembly, easy storage and solid performance. If you aren't going to spend $300+ on a professional rebounder I would recommend the Skilz over the Rukket or other common brands.

The media could not be loaded. The SKLZ rebounder has been a fantastic addition to our training setup. I originally bought it for baseball practice, but it’s proven to be useful for any ball sport that requires quick reflexes and reaction time, like soccer or lacrosse. The tension on the net is excellent, providing a strong, consistent rebound every time. It’s sturdy yet lightweight, and folds up easily for convenient storage. Whether for solo drills or team training, this rebounder is a great tool at a great price. Also very easy to assemble

Fairly easy to assemble once you get started. Works fairly well for my 7 year old. Not the most heavy duty but it is decent for the price. You will need about 13 zip ties, sold separately to keep the bars together. The bars are held together with D compression clips. They come apart very easily. You can solve this by running a zip tie between the bars and the D clip so the D clip can't compress. (See picture) If you angle the ground clips backward when putting in the ground it will hold in place longer. Overall a decent product with a cheap modification.

This was purchased as a gift for my son's 8th birthday. Unfortunately, it hasn’t held up to just three weeks of use. The netting already has two holes in it. This is with normal use — no rough play or abuse. He's not a Cy Young hopeful throwing smoke, he's just starting out in rec league. The material just doesn't seem strong enough for regular practice.Additionally, the stakes that are supposed to hold the net in place are not effective. They constantly come loose and need reinforcement to keep the frame stable and net standing. This is frustrating and unreliable, especially if you're using it on grass or uneven ground.Overall, I’m disappointed with the quality. For the price, I expected it to last at least through a season. Save your money and just have your kid throw a ball against a wall — it’ll probably last longer and provide better bounce-back.

Absolutely love it! The 3 different positions are great for practicing pop ups, line drives or grounders. My 8 year old son can easily adjust the positions himself. We have had it for over a year and so far it is our best training purchase!

The media could not be loaded. The net structure itself is great. Excellent rebound. You'll know you hit the strike zone when it comes straight back to you.HOWEVER, it's unstable as heck. Completely useless without backup stabilization. The included stakes are a joke. We are using a couple of scrap boards and a heavy bucket of dirt to keep it from falling over with every single pitch. The tube connectors are also super light duty, but some zip ties/twist ties around the tubes (through the little connector tabs) will keep everything together.The ribbon that came with ours was about half the length we needed, but thankfully we happened to have some red ribbon in our craft stash that worked perfectly.This is going to keep my baseball-crazed offspring very busy, but only purchase this if you can't afford a higher quality option and if you have something to stabilize it with! Otherwise you'll have a pretty disappointed kiddo on your hands.

I bought this while it was on sale and I feel like I got a bargain. But even at full retail price, I feel like it's worth the money. It's a surprisingly well made piece of equipment for the price point. I think what surprised me the most was how the metal pieces didn't feel cheap. The metal felt thick had a nice smooth paint job and the pieces all went together nice and snugly. The spring locks had a nice resistance to them and the holes they locked into on the opposing piece were all clearly punched so there were no poor fittings, which made for a sturdy frame once assembled. I thought the net was too small at first when I held it up to the frame before I secured it but the bungees stretched it to the edges of the frame and it filled in fine. The yellow strike zone is a great feature to have. It makes it very easy to see the location of your pitches. My son loves it. Now he can stop throwing his baseball against my tree to practice his grounders. And I like it too because I just bought a new baseball glove and it needs some breaking in. All that being said, there is room for improvement. First, the net isn’t terribly springy so the rebound comes back at half the speed that you threw it. To get any sort of useable rebound for practicing pop flies or normal catching, you really have to throw with some force. Second, the rear support that sits on the setting to adjust the angle is very insecure. It kind of just sits against a piece of plastic and if you throw hard enough, it could knock one side loose and you have to go fix it. But that seems to be rare so it's not too big a deal. I imagine a small bungee wrapped around the two bars would solve this problem if it ever really became one.
