GoSports Baseball & Softball Pitching Screens - L Screen or I Screen - Pitcher Protection Net

This item is everything I'd hoped it would be. It's easy to set up and take apart and has taken plenty of direct hits and worked perfectly. Some reviews said it's not great in windy conditions but I haven't found that to be the case at all.

I needed a protective screen after almost being hit by come-backers several times. This is perfect.l for the price. Since L screens are so expensive, this is a good alternative. Lightweight, durable, and easy to put together.

GoSports 7' x 4' I-Screen | Baseball & Softball Pitcher Protection Net | Must Have for Safe Training - Includes Foldable Bow Frame and Portable Carry Bag I wasn't sure how well I would be able to "hide" behind this net when I first saw the dimensions. It protected me better than I thought, being a larger size man (6'5"/340 lbs). I am able to stand or sit behind this net to throw batting practice. It's very stable and did not tip over on line drives back at it, even without the stakes. It was very easy to put together and disassemble. Pros-Easy to assemble, good quality, no velcro on the bottom posts, so you don't have to worry about it wearing out or a ball going between the net and the bottom post to hit you. (which is also a con). Cons-No velcro on bottom (all my other nets have velcro on the bottom and I always build the bottom half first, then strap the velcro to the bottom out of habit). The frame has to slide into the bottom of the net. It is not a bad con just have to remind myself of it. :)

My teenage son is an absolute terror with a bat in his hands. We usually hit at batting cages at the high school where I can safely hide behind an L-screen, but with Covid-19 shutting down all of the batting cages in March, we had to practice in open field areas. After taking a sharp line drive off of the knee in early spring, I knew that I needed something for protection and I gave this product a shot. Even without putting the stakes in the ground, the screen is able to stop even the hardest line drives. My son's coach borrows the screen for batting practice and none of the highschoolers on the team have yet hit one that the I-screen did not stop. I am not a mechanical wizard, but it only takes me a minute to get the screen set up, so I'm sure that anyone could do it. Its also fairly light, so when we have to carry it for a bit of distance to find an open spot on the field to hit, my son and I can carry it between us, along with all of his gear and a bucket of balls, so its obviously much lighter than a regular L-screen. The whole thing breaks down quickly, and we just toss it into the back of the car between uses. we have used the screen 3-4 days per week for the past 3 months or so. I haven't noticed any wear or damage on the thing, and it has taken some pretty good liners from kids who play on high school teams. Obviously, a traditional L-screen is more sturdy and easier to throw with. With the I-screen, you don't have the open space on your throwing side to throw through, so it is a little bit of an adjustment at first as you figure out how to throw accurately and find cover all in one motion, but its nothing an experienced dad can't figure out easily. If you are throwing in a cage or on a field with an L-screen already there, then you don't need this product. However, if you need protection and don't have room in your car or want to lug a heavy L-screen across a field, this product is perfect for you.

Must have for any softball team to protect coach from soft toss while the fielders field. The stakes are weak but everything else is good quality. Carrying care and easy to assemble.

This is one of the safest nets I have pitched behind, while still being light weight and easy to travel to different fields with. Easy put up and take down with security during the whole practice.

I have been in baseball my entire life and have used the typical L-Screen to throw to my players. Typical L-Screens are always extremely expensive, heavy, difficult to move and usually a permanent structure that isn’t portable. After years of frustration, I went online and started reading reviews for an L-Screen that is portable, sturdy, affordable and safe! It didn’t take long for me to find the GoSports L-Screen. When the L-Screen arrived, it was exactly what I was looking for - what a great product! Initially, I was skeptical about how the L-Screen would hold up with my high school kids hitting the ball back at the net, but after utilizing it for the last few week, the product is definitely sturdy enough to withstand the power of my top level players! I highly recommend the GoSports L-Screen to anyone that is looking for a great product to use to throw to their kids! You will not be disappointed!

Easy to set up by yourself. Has lasted a full season with no rips or tears. It will fall over if hot hard enough. I put my bucket of balls across the brace and it stays out. Easy to pack and unpack. Would recommend
