 I would choose this over the Jugs net Dec 03, 2011
By C. Angel
"americanpride"
I have and will compare this item to the Jugs Instant Screen
I have a 7 year old boy and 4 year old girl. They use this screen for batting off a tee and soft toss. They also use the strike zone target for working on throwing accuracy. I am 37 years old and I hit off the soft toss as well, so it gets hit hard and soft.
I coach my sons under 8 baseball team and we will use this and the Jugs product during practices.
I have the 5x5 Foot net and would strongly recommend that you get the 7x7-foot instead. The 5x5 works, but having that extra 2x2 feet would be a huge difference.
The assembly and take-down for this is quick, easy, and straight forward. This product beats the Jugs Instant screen in this aspect. I always dread folding up the Jugs net.
The quality of the netting has nothing on the Jugs product. Jugs has a very durable netting while this has a softer feel to it. I suspect that the netting on this will give out well before my Jugs net.
Strike Zone Box on this is much better than the Jugs. The Jugs version is just a hanging box/outline. This one is complete with a net to catch the strikes and attaches to all four corners rather than two straps.
Because this net is square shaped, it will also be handy for my kids soccer practices. The round Jugs net is not useful in that situation.
Including four good quality ground stakes is a great touch and makes this complete right out of the box. The Jugs net came with four good screw type stakes, but I ended up purchasing my own U shaped stakes similar to what came with this net.
In the end, I think this and the Jugs nets are good, but if I were to purchase another one, I would definitely buy the 7x7-foot SKLZ Net for the ease of setup/take-down, strike-zone net, and multi-sport use.
I will update my review late spring when our little league baseball season ends to update on the durability of the net and the product as a whole.

 Perfect for Little League practices Dec 01, 2011
By Brian A. Roush
This net is very simply to assemble, functions well and is easy to store and carry. I didn't time myself on the assembly, but it's true that it doesn't take but a couple of minutes to go from bag to fully set-up. There's really no chance you'll mess it up - the only thing to watch for is that the poles that bend are under a good amount of tension. You'll want to take care that no one is standing at the rear or sides of the net when assembling or dis-assembling. Lose your grip and it could smack them pretty good. Always do those tasks from the front side of the net.
All the poles, both metal and fiberglass have the bungee cords inside them to keep all the pieces together. The rear yellow pole has the push-button locking mechanism to keep the poles together when assembled. Once up, the main net is nicely stretched. It offers good performance, but hitting a hard ball into the top part of the net often lets the ball rebound back out of the net rather than dropping to the ground. If you're going to use this for older kids, you might want the larger 7x7 net. Other than that, it seems big enough to use with a tee, though I wouldn't be hitting toward other people since badly hit balls or pop ups could still miss this size net.
The included pitching target also works well and when put on the net is about the right height for pitching to little leaguers. It can be adjusted to hang lower, but can't be adjusted much higher than about mid-way because the bottom straps are a fixed length. While you could turn the pitching target upside down, it wouldn't catch the balls properly, but would at least serve as a target. For this reason, and the 5' height, using it for football throwing practice makes this net not the greatest choice.
The ground stakes are a must-use item, as any moderate wind against the back of the net will cause it to tip forward. Once staked, it's very stable.
The carry bag is ok - that kind of shiny/smooth nylon that's not ultra-durable but at least serves the purpose. My biggest complaint with the bag is that it's only velcro closure, not a zip bag. I'll be worried about losing a ground stake over time. Everything fits into the bag easily, even if you don't fold everything up perfectly.
All-in-all this net delivers on it's purpose and is well constructed. I'm looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it. It's small enough I can set it up in the basement during the winter but large enough to use outside as well. It's quick and easy to set up and take down, and light enough to carry back and forth to practices.

Quick and Sturdy Sports Net Mar 12, 2012
By J. Perkins
While I did not time myself, this net sets up pretty quickly and easily. I have not been using it very long, but it seems well-made and durable. The 7x7 might be more versatile for use with different sports. It is also easy to take down and get back into the carry bag, which closes with velcro. A zipper would probably be better.
The two pole sections and the sections of the base are connected by bungee cords. Be sure to push the two upright poles firmly into the holes on the base. The top corners of the net have pins that fit into the top of the two poles. The frame is under a lot of tension so care should be taken when putting it up and taking it down. Four stakes pushed into the ground over the sides of the base keep the net stationary and upright. My daughter and I are using this for softball practice, and so far it has worked very well.

Quick and easy setup, solid net Feb 24, 2012
By K. Swanson
Nothing to not like, really. Comes already nestled in its carrying case, sets up in a couple minutes, works perfectly. Tears down in a minute.
Works great for soccer, too. Just be sure to use the stakes and keep this securely anchored. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can blow it down, as could a corner kick or very errant knuckler.
Seems well-made and should last many years.
Good value for the money.
Any kid who loves to toss or kick the ball would love this net. Big kids too.

Love it. Perfect for batting and pitching practice Feb 23, 2012
By T Rose
"T Rose"
The Quickster net is incredibly easy to set up and take down. Even though it's so easy to set up, it's incredibly sturdy.
We have been using the net for about a month now (limited use due to weather) and it has held up extremely well. We have used it as a pitching target (the included pocket to catch balls in the target zone is a huge plus- no question of whether it was good or not). We have also used it as a backstop and a hitting target. No matter the force the balls hit it, it stands tall.
Overall Im thrilled with the net and highly recommend it.
