Rawlings Multi-Sport Training Net (10' X 7' X 5') Review

I bought this net for my 8 year old to work on his bat swing for baseball. He hits about 40-50 balls a day into the net and the net is holding up well. The only problem I have had is that one of the nylon feet has cracked but was easliy replaced with items available at the local discount store.

Franklin Sports Soft-Toss Target Net, 80 Inch X 120 Inch Review

My daughter is big into softball with pitching clinics and travel teams, etc. I bought this for use as a target net and a back-drop for when I'm catching for her (saves me running after the balls I miss). The target net is constructed much like a three-sided camping tent with collapsable poles and stakes for securing the corners. The multi-segmented, hollow pole sections are made from a fiber-glass-like material and have a thin elastic cord running through them from end to end. One end of each section has a 3" metal pipe section that is bonded on to keep it in place. This short pipe provides a female end to which the next pole section can be inserted, with the elastic cord holding all the sections together. When assembled, the 12' poles are inserted into tubes sewn into the seams of the tent. Each must be inserted to make a cross, then each must be gently bent until the ends of the poles can be inserted into cups at the corners. These cups have loops attached through which the ground stakes hold down the assembly.
Negative reviews are not generally appreciated on Amazon, but I feel obligated as a frequent internet buyer to offer up one today.
Seemed like a good idea when I put it together for the first time, although it was a bit cumbersome with the long poles being fed through fabric tubes of the same length. During one of our practices, we heard a crack and suddenly one of the two poles broke. After disassembly and inspection, one of the fiber poles had broken right at the steel pipe section where the stress is highest. Inspecting further, I realized that the middle sections of the poles had plastic sleeves on them, presumably for adding strength where the bend radius is highest. By cleaning out the broken end from the steel pipe and shaving back the plastic sleeve, I was able to reproduce a male end to connect back into the pipe. Cutting to the end, this breaking was quite frequent. The net did make it through half a season before 7 repairs had been done, and finally two of the pipe sections split along their entire length. The poles are simply under-sized or the wrong material for this application. Given low reliability and lack of assembly/disassembly ease, I gave two stars. Consider something better constructed and more portable for serious practice.

This was a late birthday gift decision and was concerned whether it would arrive on time. The gift did arrive when the vendor said it would...and it was standard shipping. I would purchase again from this company. As for the product we are very happy with it. It is big enough for those occasional errant throws or hits. I can not comment on it durability because we have only had it a short time. However the product does seem to be made well. We do not leave it up all the time so we will see how it does being assembled and taken down each week. How easy it is to put the thing together? It can be challenging for one person. Two is ideal but even with one it only takes 15 minutes to setup.
