"Went with this over the newer 7x7 styles as my first one lasted so long, and I knew with this one I could put a ball anywhere on the net without issue."
"I have a buddy that. Coached girls travel ball. My girls pitch in the basement and hit off a tee into it though the cold season."
"I've used the screen probably 10-12 times now and I'm not yet making it look effortless like the guy in the video does, but the screen is indeed manageable and not hard to put back in it's carrying case. I'm sure the included spikes work fine too, but we don't practice on natural grass so the spikes don't work for me."
"I can't say enough good things about this screen, my son and out club team was able to get so many more quality reps because of it."
"For the most part it's good, but if you don't put away correctly (which I had parents put away for me) then it will get tweaked and ruined."
"WOW..not only did the vendor send this in < 5 days (from California), but I don't know why it was considered "use" because I could not find anything wrong with this screen. I'd recommend purchasing from the Amazon Warehouse because you may end up getting a great deal on item (I saved $ 50 compared to buying it new). There's a black elastic band that keeps it in it's circular shape when stored away. The screen will sit upright in an L shape on concrete with no problem. I highly recommend this screen at regular or if you can get it at the Amazon Warehouse for a discounted price."
Our new Mini professional pitcher's screen features a 2 inch heavy gauge galvanized steel frame with a 32mm thread pillowcase style net.

"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. The screen appears to be very high quality. The netting is also thick and is a web that pulls down over the top of the frame and is tied off at the bottom. A really great design that puts the stress of the ball impact across the entire net and along the entire seam instead of specific stress points that will break down. My only negative is the hardware that comes with it has two problems."
The NEW Jugs 7-foot Complete Travel Screen features a huge 6.5' X 6.5' Hitting surface that comes with a 30" nylon travel bag and removable strike zone. A 7-foot screen with a huge 6.5' x 6.5' Hitting Sock designed for use with regulation size baseballs and softballs.

Find Best Price at Amazon"It took a few months for me to make the decision to purchase a net and the bownet was my original pick since we use those for the team. One thing I noticed though after just the second use is that the cord for the base has some slight fraying happening with the coating/lining. Another issue with the base is that since the cord is pulled tight getting some of the pieces to disconnect takes some effort. Perhaps this is because it's new and the cord will give some slack eventually, but it's not a huge issue just something I noticed. No issues with wind and the drop down pitching zone is working great. I think the white drop down zone is great because it you can now have a definite area to pitch into or use for fielding work. EDIT: 5/4/16 After a couple years of constant, weekly use the frame for netting has broken. I don't treat my gear super rough, but I'm not exactly "polite" with it either so I'm leaving 4 out of 5 stars still."
"There is more than ample room in the billow of the net to receive hit or thrown baseballs and they settled securely within the retention area with room for many more than the 20 baseballs we loaded into it during each round."
"Yeah, yeah, the guidelines say not to bash the seller here, but rather use amazon feedback...well for some reason my browser has issues with that page, so... 1-star to VIPOUTLET. My spouse purchased this item from VIPOUTLET on 28OCT, and received, instead, a bucket of Jugs Practice Balls on 4NOV. My spouse wrote an unfavorable review of the way VIPOUTLET was handling the issue. My spouse informed VIPOUTLET on 21NOV that Amazon Services and Discover Card Services would be informed of the issue in 4 days if VIPOUTLET could not resolve the issue, and that the unfavorable review must stand until the issue was resolved."
