SKLZ Quickster Portable Baseball Hitting Net for Baseball and Softball

exceptional value at the price I paid. Nice deep net stops all comers. Easy to put together and put up, easy to break down and pack away. You can carry it to practices if needed. Probably best uses are as a pitching target (includes about 15x15 inch detachable target with its own sac (keep track of your on target pitches). Also great for hitting practice off a tee or for soft toss, and for back up for young pitchers throwing to young catchers. 7' x 7' size is best for younger kids, 5'x5' size would probably be better for older kids with much better control. We run all kinds of drills with this as the target---put it at 2nd base and let your catchers practice thier throw downs for stealing runners, put it at first base in lieu of a first baseman as a target for infielder practice. put it at home plate for your outfielders making throws to the plate. Repetition teaches consistency. This lets one kid by them selves (with a bounce back for example), or one coach with one kid, to run rep after rep using a bucket of balls and this as the throwing target. I like to use it for short stop throwing practice with the kids as a competition---see how many kids can hit the big target, or for tighter targets how many can reliably hit the 15x15 target from SS with this net at first base.

I'll tell you why I purchased this one. All the components are attached to each other so you can't lose a part. You need to put the 2 poles on the base and attach the net. All of them collapse/fold on themselves making it easy to assemble quickly. I took it to a softball practice where there was another type of net there. Both of them required you to get the pieces and put them together first, then run the poles through the net. Well, as I put mine together, one of the coaches was putting the other one together. After I finished mine, I helped him with his. Couldn't put it up...because he was missing the top part of one of the poles rendering it useless. According to him, it was there the day before, but not today. That's a major plus going for the SKLZ one. I purchased the 7'X7' one because I intend on using it for soccer in the fall. Currently I am using it for girls (U8) softball. They have fun trying to hit the net when I set it up at first base. Also, the added pitching target is a plus. It just attaches to the net with hook and you can adjust it up and down. The only thing I have added was some velcro wraps that I use to keep the net attached to the horizontal bar on the ground (so the net doesn't bunch up towards the front). Had an issue with the bottom frame. Contacted SKLZ and the sent out a replacement right away. Couldn't be happier. It's lightweight, portable, and just simple to use. All coaches for soccer, football, baseball, softball, etc. should have one. And it's affordable to boot!

This net is awesome. Any parent with a baseball/softball player quickly gets to that wonderful age where backyard hitting is no longer a possibility. We recently got to the point of going through an entire bag of baseballs, then spending a half hour trying to find all of the balls in the weeds and such. This wasn't working for us. This net, coupled with a nice baseball tee, we use one made by McGregor, works perfect for getting tons of hitting practice without spending all your time running around the backyard gathering up balls. This also works great for carrying to practice and setting up a hitting station. The kids can line up and go through hitting drills while the coach plays the role of placing the balls on the tee. It is a shame that I have to take a star away from this awesome product, but we nearly returned this product due to one of the connections being flawed. On one of the lower corner connections, the metal clip that pops into the hole on the other rod is fouled and will not work correctly. The internal bungee cord on that connection is also fouled up. But, after studying the connection and deciding that it was a tight enough connection as to not require the metal clip anyway, we decided that since the rest of the product was above expectations, there was really no need to return the product and to just accept the minor problem. Thanks to SKLZ for an awesome product. We have several products from SKLZ and they really seem to know what products are in demand and how best to make them work. This net, once assembled, is quite large. But, disassembled, it stores well and takes up very little room using the bag that comes with it. Setup takes just a few short minutes and tear down is the same. No tools are required for setup or take down. We have used this net for a couple of months now and it continues working perfectly.

It’s been a little more than a year. I bought this in March 2025 and the plastic base is already broken. I will not recommend this product. Hope Amazon would do something about it. I have attached a picture of the broken plastic.

It’s great until it isn’t. Breaks at the plastic pole base with only regular usage.

Great net, Easy setup! Comes with the target net to attach! Much better than the SKLZ practice net that I just returned. I could not believe how simple it was to setup and how sturdy the frame feels. I had purchased the SKLZ practice net, set it up once, had problems & returned it. I purchased this net to replace it and what a difference. You can just tell from the moment that you open the box. The carry bag feels very strong & opens the entire length of the bag not just the end. This makes putting the net in & taking it out of the bag very easy. I removed the metal frame first to set up. First thing I noticed is that these are some nice steel poles that are held together by a steel cable and not fiberglass poles held together by a bungie cord. The poles snap together and make the base. Then you insert 2 poles into the base to make the sides & attach the net to the 2 side poles & to the feet on the base and your done. There is also a piece to go across the bottom which we did not use. However we did use the target with the catch net attached to it. This thing is great for any player to work on their aim & and it is adjustable so it can be moved higher or lower. My son used it for about 20 minutes then I took it down & bagged it up which was just as easy as assembly. If your looking for a great, affordable, easy to set up net that should last a while I would look no further!

I bought this net in April 2013 for the use of our son, who was then ten and who is now eleven. We use it for hitting balls of a tee and as a first-base target for infield drills. The net does a great job of catching the balls softly and retaining them in the net, The net has plenty of slack, which allows the ball to be caught and slowed down gradually. Outside on windy days we have needed to use the included stakes, but usually the stakes are not needed. The strike zone target is nice. To simplify setup, I used some chain link connectors to fasten the straps of the strike-zone net to the corners of the main net, so that for setup I need only attach the four corners of the main net to the poles. The net is now set up in our basement as a winter indoor hitting practice station. Both my son and I have been using it and it is holding up fine. This net will probably also make a good backstop for first base at our team practices this spring, since the fence at our practice field last season did not extend far enough to stop balls which got by the first basemen and many balls went into the wooded downward-sloping hill which was beside first base. I agree with a previous reviewer who suggested that a larger carrying bag would be nice. It is possible to fit the net and poles back into the bag after use, but that requires very careful folding. I plan to use a duffel bag which has a zipper along the side when we take this net to our team practices this spring.

This net can be set up and taken down in about 3-4 minutes easily by my 9-year old. He uses it for pitching practice (pitching into the pocket attachment), and both soft toss and tee batting practice. My 12-year old uses it for practicing his shots for soccer. The slack in the net, coupled with the ground stakes and flexible poles, allows the net to absorb powerful kicks. I didn't expect it to work so well for soccer, especially after negative experiences with other home goal set-ups (PVC pipe style goals) in the past. We reset the ground stakes 1-2 times per soccer practice session, but no adjustments are needed for pitching or batting practice. We'll use it in the basement this winter once the snows start, which allows batting practice during winter months. The quick set up and carry bag makes it great to take on vacation. The kids abosolutely love it. The only negative I've noticed so far is that the yellow paint scratches easily from the U-shaped ground stakes, but that should be expected. Too early to say how well the ent will hold up over time, but as long as it is not left out in the rain, it should be fine. Overall, this is a fantastic practice tool for little leaguers and youth soccer.

枠組み（細い鉄パイプ）組み込む三叉部分がプラスチックの為、直ぐに破損・・・三叉部分に応力かかりネットが張っている製品 ファイバーフィックスと言うアメリカ製テープで補強し一時期しのぎましたが、やはり破損しました・・・

This is a very nice net for hitting and pitching. It sets up and tears down fairly easily. It is sturdy and can take anything I have thrown at it so far. My only complaint would be that the carry-bag should be a little bigger. Unless you are a master net folder, I don't see a way to make this fit in the bag nicely and still be able to secure all the velcro straps. I can usually secure enough to keep the bag together, but it looks like a fat guy wearing a shirt that is a couple of sizes too small. Not going to remove a star for a small carry bag though. Overall great product.

Se pueden comprar las piezas triangulares donde embonan los tubos porque se quebró uno de ellos de mi compra pasada

La última me duró más de 2 años, aunque un año funcionó con una reparación con cinta gafer. Los postes y la red son de primerísima calidad, sin embargo los perfiles son de plástico y estos terminan por romperse. No he encontrado nada similar, me gusta mucho, pero ojalá el fabricante hiciera los perfiles de aluminio.

Excellente qualité, je suis très satisfaite de l'article.Super pratique avec le panier pour pratiquer en tant que lanceur, que ça soit des balles courbes, rapide, tombante. Mon garçon de 15 ans y pratiquer à tous les jours à la maison, sans danger pour les voisins et lui permet de s'améliorer de jour en jour. Je recommande ce filet même pour ceux en bas âge, qui on le rêve d'en faire carrière.
