All-weather 30-ply PE net with strike-zone target
Editorial Review:
Our Return Trainer is designed for easy set-up, go from storage to play in just a few minutes. The all weather 30-ply PE net features a strike-zone target. Great fun for the backyard or field.
Great for practicing throwing and fielding skills, this heavy-duty steel-frame trainer comes with major-league baseball's seal of approval. The 44-by-60-inch frame holds an all-weather 30-ply net that's fastened on with 26 bungee cords. The durable net features a woven border and target ribbon, and the entire assembly can be adjusted for just the right pitch, using telescoping, "infinite angle" couplers on the back. Four ground stakes keep the frame stable while you're playing. --Paul Hughes

Parts Missing One of the parts was missing from the box. Hard to get a replacement for it. Haven't used it yet. Was shipped quickly by vendor.
Our netting snapped the first day Our Franklin net broke in multiple places on the very first day. The netting itself snapped in less than 20 pitches. You'd think my son was Nolan Ryan. He throws, at best, 40 miles an hour. We returned the set and was given a new one, and that lasted about a month before its netting also snapped. I contacted the company, but they wouldn't return my emails. Absolutely appalling. Buy any other net system, but do not buy Franklin.
Great, but does not hold up well outdoors. Its great while it lasts, but, Unless you want to drag it in and out everytime you use it, dont expect it to last more than a few months. The sun/elements seem to rot out the rubber that holds the netting taught. This started within the first month we had it and has continued until now, most of the net is so loose, it is useless. Also, I have to agree with the other reviewer on the assembly, OUCH! Its really painful to put this together, the last few hooks are extremely hard to stretch. We need to... more info
doesn't last but fun useful for short season The rubber 'springs' break easily and begin to crack after a few weeks outside. Some even broke during the first few uses (with a regular baseball thrown by a 10 y/o). The adjustable tighteners we got with the unit didn't hold their position and we fixed it with some old tighteners from another unit we had just thrown out. Don't expect this to last more than a season of practice, if that. Dissappointing!
