Editorial Review
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

Product Description
This Steel Multi Return Trainer is awesome! Start your spring training with this MLB Steel Multi Return Trainer. Includes 44"L x 61"W return trainer, 7/8" steel frame with "easy click" assembly buttons, patented "infinite angle" adjustment system.

3 out of 5 stars Great, but does not hold up well outdoors.   April 21, 2008
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 purchase a new one but I am not sure if the rubber problem is exclusive to this brand, or if it will happen on others as well. This one is the least expensive Ive seen, so perhaps thats the problem.



2 out of 5 stars doesn't last but fun useful for short season   February 10, 2008
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!


4 out of 5 stars It is very fun to play with!   June 12, 2006

The instructions could of been better on the hooks and the net but you could figure it out. You had to take the target out that they gave you because if you hit it it would slow the ball down. Then you just put ribbon on the outline of the other target. Otherwise I it is holding up great so far!

1 out of 5 stars not worth the money   November 6, 2005

The first one we had broke putting it together. They replaced it, but the second one broke within a week. Not at all impressed and my son was very disappointed.
