Find Best Price at Amazon"The bottom frame is different than the Bownets in that the tubing doesn't seem to be the same thickness and the snap buttons are cheaper. The four fiberglass poles seem to be jus a slight bit thicker diameter than Bownets but work exactly the same. I will say though I don't know if it's because the bottom tubing if the frame is a little lighter or if the "legs" don't extend out as far as the Bownet but after the sock has about 15 or so balls in it my daughters hits would actually lift the the front off the ground as if it would tip over. Seem to be the same materials (except the bottom frame which to me was not a big deal), same design and same results as a Bownet but $50 cheaper."
"Not sure if related to the crack, but I felt some slight temporary pain in my hand between the index and thumb when handling the pole while sliding the pole out of the net siding (may be related to someone's comment on fiberglass shards)."
"It came with stakes, but my son is a small 13 year old, so he's able to take swings from the tee into the net without staking it down. Overall, I enthusiastically recommend the PowerNet practice net."
"We do need to put something a little heavy on the legs in front because occasionally it will tip over if it gets a ball hit REALLY hard in the right spot but that's not a big deal to us."
"When I'm working with him one-on-one fielding practice, this net is my 1st or 2nd baseman."
"It was very easy to setup (though you do need to look at the instructions or you might do it upside down and it matters) and easy to carry to the garage when you are done."

"Whenever I move it I hold it by the lower metal part, if you try to move it by grabbing the top you will damage the top and then you have an unusable tee."
"This is a sturdy product; much more so than the MacGregor Tee."

Also, if both top tension bolts are loosened, the hinge bar will fall inside the tube and is difficult but not impossible to retrieve. The plastic cap on the end of the tube near where the buyers attach is a poor fit and falls out easily."
"rand kid was happy on Christmas morning, was out practicing that morning."
"I hit with a wooden bat i prefer from old playing days and felt like I was making solid contact."
"A bit heavy but is a great trainer!"
"As far as batting trainer's go, this is the tops."
"Also, be sure you have it balanced out evenly when you put it back in the case or it will bust through the zipper."
"If nothing else, this has helped him learn to follow through on his swing and he has shown a fair amount of improvement in live pitching within two weeks."
"I thought this would be great for my son because the batting cages were starting to add up and the machines weren't always calibrated correctly. He got it out some this year to start warming up for spring ball and the thing broke again! Update: upon seeing my review, the company contacted me and my son, and talked with him about the problem."

If you have trigger points in your back (those taut bands of muscles that hurt like the dickens), then you're always looking for a way to work them out or ease their pain without running to a massage therapist or begging your spouse to wear out his/her fingers. I'd switched to a Kong ball (yes, the dog toy) on recommendation from an online myofascia book, but it has holes on either side which, when you're trying to move the ball around against a wall, cause problems. (If you have trouble keeping the ball in place or it falling to the floor, it is recommended you put it inside sock or nylon stocking and then you can hold it in place over your shoulder - but I find I can just hold it in place with my body then catch the ball as I move away from the wall.)."
"I ordered this for my husband as he has a knot in his back that has given him problems for months and wanted something to really help pinpoint his pain."
"While a foam roller is good for massaging a large area, they're also fairly soft, and this lacrosse ball is a solid rubber that has enough softness to allow for a little give but hard enough to really dig into those tight knots."
"Please don't buy the Giaiam ball product because it slips and slides and is difficult to control and can cause further injury."
"As a lacrosse ball, I'm not sure it compares to others - I've never played lacrosse - but if you are looking to roll out certain muscles, I would definitely recommend this."
"I use lax balls for a chronic muscle spasm in my back/ shoulder (traps, scalenes, rhombids)."
"I've seen a lot of ppl talk about using this against a wall, and that works... but lying down on it is much easier so I suggest you try it."
"However, when they arrived there was this strong chemically smell that filled the entire room that I had to open the windows. They are really sturdy and great at loosening the back and feet muscles, but the smell didn't go away for over a week."
