EastonXLP Catch Net

A++++Awesome, works great, sets up easy, very high quality!DO NOT waste your time and money on the cheap stuff, buy a quality product like this one. Both of my kids are travel and league players, they throw hard and hit harder. They use the heck out of this thing and it works great. It works perfect for bp (with a strike zone too!) Awesome for pitching practice and hitting into. Takes a few minutes to set up and looks great too.

Good quality product. Easy to erect and dismantle. Comes with a bag for taking to the park. Very sturdy, think it will last countless hours or practice. Cheaper than competitor Bownet and comes with target for throwing practice. This combined with a tanner tee, perfect. My little leaguers can practice with confidence in the garage during those winter months.Note to Easton: Would love to have a interchangeable golf net for practicing my swings!

Much better than alternatives. I originally purchased the SKLZ quickster after good reviews and being slightly cheaper. While it seemed pretty durable, for me it was a terrible product. It did not do its job, which is to catch a baseball and not fall down. It was great at catching baseballs, but completely terrible at not falling down, even with the ground stakes in place. I could throw a baseball from 60 feet and it would fall down. I am no Aroldis Chapman, and I have a tear in my labrum, so I can't throw very hard at all. It still fell down practically every time I threw into it. Even if it didn't fall down the SKLZ Quickster would lift off the ground. Hitting a baseball into it, I could knock it over with every single ball that was hit higher than 3 feet off the ground. So unless you are in teeball or you only hit ground balls this the SKLZ Quickster is a terrible product. The base is not big enough to support it.Now getting the Easton XLP net, I could see it was twice as durable as the SKLZ. The metal bars are thicker and way more, so its much more durable. The Flexible pole is way, way, way more sturdy and strong than the SKLZ which feels like a small step up from a camping tent. The Easton's flexible poles are a lot thicker, stronger, and more durable. The base of the net is a lot bigger which means this net does what it's supposed to, unlike the SKLZ, which is catch a ball without falling down. I have not used the ground stakes that come with the Easton net, and have yet to knock it down hitting baseballs into it. Throwing into it, the net doesn't budge at all. Also the strike zone attachment is actually the size of a strike zone unlike the SKLZ attachement that is wider than it is tall, and much wider than any home plate I've ever seen. Though it may be a little high, unless you only pitch to major leaguers and like players that average 6ft or taller. I play with a lot of Asians, its way above our strike zone cause we're short.

Bought to have at my house for my grandson. Easy to set up once you have done it. My grandson figured it out. I does not come with any instructions but it must be how most nets set up. Wish it were about 10 inches higher since we end up looking for balls at the neighbor's. Stable and held up well during our hot summer. Fits back in to the carrying case if you cram it.

This thing is junk, the issue is when my son hits into the net, the net is designed with a basket below to catch the balls after the ball hits the net. That doesn’t happen 70% of the time, the balls bounce off the net and roll all over the place. Then have to pick up 50 balls scattered all over. They are supposed to hit the net and drop into the pocket designed to catch the balls. This net would work fine for a 10 year old who doesn’t have any ball velocity, but with a 14,15,16 year old it doesn’t and hasn’t worked. I have two and they both do the same exact thing and Easton refuses to do anything about , in fact i have been trying to get them to return a phone call or email for over a year and half and have only heard back once saying to return it where i bought it and that they couldn't help me. Horrible customer service, will never purchase another Easton product again.

This is a good net for my 9 and 5 year old but not sure for much older. When I hit off the tee the ball will shoot back out of the net. Any high school kid would be chasing balls like I have to. Very easy to set up and tear down. My concern was the unit itself wanting to fall over but its very solid

Great net. It seems very durable. Quickly and easily assembled. Only suggestion would be a movable target.

I purchased this for my kids and they love it. It works really well for batting and throwing practice and is holding up well. In addition to this it is easy to set up and tear down.
