Customer Reviews for VEVOR 9 Hole Baseball Softball Pitching Net 9 Pocket Hitting Practice 49"x42"

I have a nephew who started playing baseball this school year and he loved this. He’s a backup pitcher and also first baseman since he just got on the team and so this is a great way to train his throwing precision and accuracy. He spends at least 30-45 minutes everyday throwing the ball at the target net to practice his pitch. It’s a great training tool that’s easy to setup and put away and it seems to hold up well as long as you don’t hit the bottom corners directly. Overall this is a great training tool that I would recommend for any pitcher to train their accuracy and precision.

I have tried a few of these tools over the years. This one is similar to most backstop tools that are offered, but it differs in that it demands precision from the thrower. It's tough to communicate that sometimes, and this provides a great aid for coach, catcher and pitcher. With the numbering, a young pitcher can begin to understand what his catcher or coach is asking for. Now, you can flash a sign for 1through 9, and your pitcher knows exactly where he needs to shoot for. The package is complete, and I am impressed with that. It is sturdy enough to last a few seasons, so in the end you can get your money's worth out of it if you use it correctly.

This took all of maybe 10 minutes to assemble. The netting feels very durable and of high quality so I do expect this will hold up well. My son does not have much confidence to be a pitcher, so I am hoping with some practice in our backyard, he could at least be a valuable back-up for his team this year. We even have the perfect spot for this in the yard with a pitching mound. After using this for a few days, I will say that my son IS a hidden gem on the team. He has absolutely improved tremendously and as a result his confidence is heightened as well. Literally, a game changer! Just make sure they are practicing at the correct mound to plate distance for their age.

This is my first baseball target net so I have nothing compared to, but quality is great! Sets up super quick and I didn't even need to pin down the net on a grass surface (I don't throw that hard and I only used 12 baseballs). Everything fit easily in the storage bag.

The good: Super easy to assemble, goes together quickly. I added a hammer to the bag for hammering the pegs down when at the park. Have used for pitching practice and playing some ball at the park without a catcher, no question if it was a strike :P Balls go in the pockets, easy to reset (pull the balls out) and go again. The great: Any time you have something like this that is designed to travel, the problem is always the bag. Specifically getting the items back in the bag. I understand manufacturing and the need to keep cost down, but it drives me crazy when the manufacture could have used a tiny bit more material on the bag and your life would be better. Well, that’s what they did here, the carry bag is hassle free and has plenty of room to pack up and go without fiddling about. The intended purpose of this device is to improve your pitching, without question this does the job by providing instant feedback of where your pitches are going. Think of it like target practice, you can definitely work on your control.

My son loves it. He is using it a lot to improve his command. He spends about an hour a day using it. One day he will work on hitting the outside corner. The next day he will work on hitting the inside corner. It is improving his pitching ability for sure. As a baseball coach this is a great addition for my starting pitchers it gives them focus and a great target to practice when they don't have a catcher to practice with. Awesome product it has 9 squares to allow them to practice inside balls and strike zone. It has helped when teaching our steps to have a focus target for the pitchers. Very sturdy frame and net. Holds many balls we go thru a 50-ball bucket with our team easily. Also provides great instant feedback on pitches. Easy to assemble. Ease of use. Great buy!!

This is a well built target that will last a long time and easy to move around to bring to a park or social gathering. - Well built and sturdy - Easy set up - Does not topple over easily. I had this standing outside on very windy days and it did not tip over at all! - Great for mini games or simple target practice. The baseball pocket does as it's expected to do. Catch balls without issues!
