If you grew up with an old school pitchback, you know how much the quality has suffered from the ones you'll find on amazon. Yea, this one has a premium price, but it's construction is highly superior. You get a sharper bounce too. If you're looking to find a rebounder that can stick with you through all ages, then this is the one to buy. Buy one of these for the rest of your players days or buy the cheap one on amazon...
Definitely don't do like I did and buy the one on amazon first to realize you should have invested in the best to begin with.
The 3X3 rebounders are great, we have started using them every day and they go to every practice. We enjoy finding new ways to use the rebounders in softball drills. Everything from catchers working on transfers to outfielders working on drop steps!
Bought this for the boys to practice. They immediately were hooked and figured out ways to make it a competition. Shipping was fast and the rebounder net seems to be very good quality
Exactly what we were looking for. The quality is great and ser up was so easy. The 3 settings are perfect for the rebounds. This will definitely help our granddaughter improve her skills. I wish i would’ve bought this sooner for her.
