Rukket 7x7 Baseball & Softball Net, Practice Hitting, Pitching, Batting and Catching, Backstop Screen Equipment Training Aids, Includes Carry Bag

What a great price for a great product. Our 8 year old son has been wanting to learn to place kick football. We priced out nets for punting and kicking football and they were so expensive and narrow. We really wanted one that would serve double duty as a Baseball net and Softball net for those seasons as as well because we also have a daughter. Almost all nets we looked at had a little sock opening in the middle that would not accommodate our needs. The Rukket 7X7 net is in a league of their own. I honestly was not expecting much for what we paid. This Rukket Sports 7X7 Net was a Christmas present to our son. When we set up the net after Christmas we were really surprised. The rods are very high quality. The net is beyond fantastic. The metal base is extremely heavy duty with push pin locks that keep it securely locked together. One of the best features is the over-sized bag. It is large enough to store extra balls, bats, gloves, etc. We could actually fit his kicking tees, football (tight fit), and football tripod holder with room left over.I don't know if I would kick full speed field goals at it. But for learning fundamentals, it is great for not chasing balls. After the first time setting up, this net takes about 30 seconds to set up. My 8 year old can set it up entirely by himself.You can't go wrong with this net. This would make anyone from a little leaguer to a college athlete happy and a better player. A tee is a necessity with this. Move the tee around to different heights and let your kids hone their skills.

This is a FANTASTIC practice net. It is truly of QUALITY CONSTRUCTION. I was impressed with the heavy gauge of the metal frame, much sturdier than I was expecting. It comes with anchor u-bolts, but I expect they would never be necessary as the frame is heavy enough as it is. I do not see a situation where the net would fall under normal use. Bought this so my 10 year old grandson could hone his baseball batting skills. He loves it, and said he could already tell it was helping improve his skill. We have been mainly using it for soft pitch practice, but could also be used with a batting tee.The design is perfect. The net pocket catches and captures any hit balls that would normally be playable on the field. If they miss the pocket, the net stops them also, and we consider that as an imperfect hit. The 7 ft by 7 ft size is more than adequate. I would suggest this size over any of the 5 ft ones that others sell. The carrying bag is sturdy material also.We will also use this net for pitching practice. We will weave a red ribbon through the pocket net to form a square target zone. Others sell an optional target, but I don't see that as a necessary expense.BUY THIS PRODUCT !!!!!! I absolutely did not expect to see such great quality and design as what this net offers. The netting itself is very heavy, and I expect will endure well for years to come if left out of the weather. The fiberglass vertical rods are of exceptional diameter and quality. Assembly is extremely simple, with spring loaded ball pins to connect the sections of the metal frame. My grandson can easily put it together, but just needs help reaching the upper net attachment point. We use his dad for that, but a chair would also work.THIS IS A BEST BUY !!!! Don't hesitate to buy this one, you can't do any better than this. And, the manufacturer will communicate with you expressing their appreciation of your purchase. I have never had this kind of personable interchange. They want to make sure you are satisfied with their products. BUY, BUY, BUY this one! Don't consider any of the others out there.

I was skeptical and concerned that this would not be a good product compared to the Bownet, but am happy to say that so far I am very pleased with my purchase as I did not compromise on quality or performance at all. The out of the box quality seems great. Set up is easy, and really don't need instructions at all, but those provided gave nice pictures. I bought this for 14 yo son, and 12 yo daughter, mostly to pitch into, but will do some soft toss and tee work. In particular son wants to use to get his work in (throwing) on his own after school, without needing a parent to catch. I originally planned to leave this permanently set up outside, but it is so easy to set up, take down, and pack into the storage bag, that so far have gone that route. We have only used twice at this point, and for throwing only, but so far it has worked great and exactly what we needed. This is a great size, and for backing away and doing long toss, this 7'x7' size seems better and prevents an overthrow. It is very solid to throw into and we have not needed to use the anchors yet. I have coached baseball or softball for the last 10 years, which usually included spring regular season, all-stars in summer, and fall, having owned spring-hoop pop-up net by Easton, and using similar nets to this one (5'x5' net by SKLZ but without "sock" center). used more nets that I can't remember brand. This one is definitely easier to take down, and I think this one will last longer. Again, great quality and function. I believe that the metal base will be fine on quality, as will the poles. The net feels like other nets I've used. Time and use will tell on durability, but so far I am very pleased with my purchase and the money that I saved, but still got a great product. I wish I had come across this sooner. I will recommend this to other dads and coaching friends.

The net and posts seem very high quality on initial assembly and use. It represents a good value.
