MR 7'x6' Freestanding Multi-Sport Training Return Net - Compatible with Tennis, Pickleball, Softball, Baseball & Toss Machine

Due to an injury I have to relearn how to do things with my left wristNow I can practice while alone and build muscle by repetitively making the motions WITH equipment.It's really easy to put up and down as you need.

Once assembled, this ball return net works well. It measures 6' across and 7' high. No tools are required for assembly. The instructions however are not that helpful. Because of that I'm going to give assembly instructions here. But 1st, here's the issue I had assembling it the 1st time. It was incredibly difficult without good instructions as the net is only 6' across while the metal frame speakds out to about 9+ feet. So here's what you need to know. The aluminum posts (3 pieces on each side) actually flex an incredible amount (and the 1st time I did it I was worried I'd break the posts). The 4 pieces that are up the base are straight forward in assembly the spring loaded release pins have a lot of resistance. Once you have the base set up, you slip the side fabric slot over one of the extension poles (and the other side over another of the extension poles. You then place one of the poles into the base mount (if you gather the entire nylon slot near the bottom of the extensions it goes in easily), then place the other side into that mounting slot (this was not mentioned in the included instructions at all so my 1st attempt had all 6 extensions placed into their proper slots before attempting to place the netting, an impossible task at that point). Next add the 2 additional extensions to each side the end piece has a kinfmd of knob on it. Tilt the frame towards its back (yes you must be standing behind it) and slide the fabric slot upwards towards the top of thelast extension. There is a cord loop that loops around the knob. You will probably have to alternate between raising the left and right sides if you are assembling it by yourself. There are 4 hook and loop tie downs one for each edge of the base. Also included are 4 U-shaped metal pieces if you plan on mounting this net into grass or loose dirt. The center of the ball catch area has a funnel to drop the balls through if you have a ball machine for continual practice. I misread the listing originally and thought it came with the ball machine, my bad. If you dont have a ball machine, either keep a box handy to catch the balls as they drop from the net, or put a rubberband around to bottom funnel to keep the balls from falling u til your ready to start your next round. When you disassemble I'd recommend keeping the net attached to one extension on each side. Bring the 2 pieces together and roll the net up around the 2 extensions. It won't look nice and neat, but it'll speed up assembling the next time. You might even think about using a couple of rubber bands around the bottom of each extension so that the netting doesn't actually fall off the extension by accident. Hope this helps anyone who buys this net. It does work well once you know these assembly tricks.

I recently picked up this tennis ball return net to enhance my solo practice sessions. The net is sturdy and easy to set up, making it convenient for quick training. Its freestanding design means I can use it on various surfaces without hassle.​However, I noticed a couple of drawbacks. The net's height is slightly lower than expected, which affects its compatibility with certain ball machines. Specifically, my machine couldn't fit underneath as depicted in the product images, requiring some adjustments. Additionally, while the net works well with tennis balls, it doesn't perform as effectively with pickleballs; they tend to get stuck or don't roll back properly due to their size and weight.​Overall, it's a useful tool for tennis/pickleball practice, but be mindful of these limitations depending on your specific needs.

Nice Pickleball catch and return net that can be adjusted to fit the style ball launcher you use. Not all net are "one size fits all" so you may need to adjust it to fit your ball launcher.It works well and is built pretty ridged.

The floor and the funnel sit a little low, the funnel is nearly half-way to the ground.. I used zip ties to shorten the length of the funnel so I could use it with my ball machine. Even doing that, I still had to half the size of my machine's hopper. I am debating on just cutting the funnel off.Also, I am thinking about building leg extensions to get it higher off the ground, this would also better simulate the actual height of a tennis net so I can make sure I'm getting enough clearance.Even though the entire thing is 6ft wide, the net does come inwards a little, so the opening is more like 5 ft or just a little more.The back catch netting is very slack, which makes sense because it needs to absorb the ball's speed, however, balls tend to get stuck behind net, sometimes they'll pop back out when another ball lifts the net up, but I find myself having to loosen them myself.Otherwise, it is a great catch net. I love having it and I think it will make my life much easier and speed up the tempo of my practice sessions. Nearly perfect functionality besides what I mentioned above.It was quick and easy to setup. I'd have no problem breaking it down and rebuilding daily, luckily I can just leave it up. I love how lightweight but stable and sturdy it is. I love that there's a travel bag. Because it is so light, it's really easy to move across my yard without taking it apart.It seems pretty stable, I left it out in 11mph winds and it was fine. I did put some pavers on the legs so it wouldn't fly away.Great for the money

The net is easy to set up. It's very sturdy and durable. We just use a bucket for the balls to drop down in, as it does not come with the return machine.

I set this up in my basement so I could hit in the house without disturbing everyone and when the weather was too cold outside. It worked perfectly for me after a bit of hacking. For one, it only really works with a ball machine like pictured and if you have any other then they are going to be too tall for fit under it so you might have to get creative with stands like I did.It goes together easy enough and is plenty large to not send shots sailing even if you aren't the most accurate.8/10 I would recommend it. I hope this review is helpful.

I really wanted to like this net, however it's not made for pickleballs as they get stuck or they don't even drop as there's not enough slant in the inside of the net. Might be better for tennis balls as they're heavier and smaller.
