the King of baseball netsApr 19, 2011
By Uncle Punk
This current item is a good deal. You get the Jugs Instant Screen, plus a Jugs Tee, plus 2 dozen dimpled yellow practice balls. As of now (April, 2011) that's a value of ~$190 if bought separately.
This is actually my 2nd Jugs Instant Screen; I use one indoors & one outdoors. I can always use an extra tee & more balls, so when I saw this deal, it worked for me.
The Instant Screen itself is fantastic. It's billed as portable; while I don't use it that way, I believe a motivated person could (although I think it would take some practice to learn to fold it up).
There are many things I like about this net. It's 'plug-n-play', meaning that it comes ready for use out of the box; pull it out & presto, it expands to be used (kind of explosively, so stand back). For use outdoors, it does need to be anchored, since a strong wind will move it. Although it does not come with robust anchoring straps, it's pretty easy to drive some large stakes in a few strategic places to keep it in place. I also keep a cinder block on the back of it for the same reason. (The 4 screw-in type stakes that come with it weren't enough for the windy area we live in).
The net is a little too small for my taste (it's about 6' high x about 6' wide at its widest), but it is big enough to serve its primary purpose as a backstop for hitting practice. I should add that the netting alone can catch real baseballs thrown from a pitching machine at moderate speed without tearing.
I also use it for my boys' catchers' practice, where it's a little more cramped for them to squat in, but still effective.
I can also attest to its durability; our first net is entering its 3rd year of continual outdoor use (we do bring it in during winter). Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Jugs' larger, more expensive net (which I've also reviewed).
There is nothing else like this net available for purchase online that I am aware of; for its relatively low price, you can't go wrong.

Very well made!Nov 27, 2008
By Jnetz
This is a great product. My son used it all summer. It is very well constructed. My son used the net to throw, hit, and kick soccer balls into. It's a little hard to get back into the bag, but once you figure it out (I watched the video online at the Jugs website about 10 times before I could figure it out) it's not too difficult to manage. The adjustable tee is well constructed too.

Baseball PracticeJul 19, 2010
By Weight Watcher
It is everything that it was advertised. Well Done. And with Prime delivery, it came very fast too.
Great productDec 08, 2011
By Peanut's dad
I got this to assist my 6 year old son. He was having some trouble hitting the ball sometimes in the game. We practice his swing in the backyard now using the tee and using the soft toss ,hitting the ball into the net. He is now doing much better with his hand/eye coordination. He is connecting with the ball more often now, hitting the ball harder. He has more confidence in his swing. Great product, I recommend it.
Excellent quality and easy to set-up and take down.Sep 05, 2011
By M. Weber
Purchased the Jugs practice package for my boys aged 8 & 10. It's VERY easy to set-up and take down and the quality is very good. We purchased this particular version/package since it came with the tee. Our kids use it for batting and pitching practice. Well worth the price.
