assembly/parts incomplete
September 20, 2008
this product looks fairly durable, but all the comments in other posts about extremely poor assembly instructions are true. its awful. and worse -- mine is either defective or missing 2 key pieces. it cannot be assembled (the arm pieces don't connect), leaving me here on friday evening wondering how i'll explain to my kids that we need to wait until customer service opens monday morning. next time maybe i'll visit a store instead. wouldn't it be helpful if spalding customer service paid attention to consumer feedback?
Frustrating assembly
September 17, 2008
As others have posted on thier reviews, the directions are completely worthless. After about 45 min. of frustration and staring at the picture on the box, I had it completed. I have to say it works great & the Kids love it so mission accomplished.

I purchased this for my 11 year old son, he is a pitcher. It was a great value, compared to other pitching nets that I have looked at. I am not impressed with the construction, the 2 plastic pieces that allow you to adjust the height broke within the first week that he used it. It now has to be used at the lowest setting. I wish I would have spent a little more and gotten a better quality net. He is now using it as a golf ball return!
Good Value -- Instructions Stink
September 5, 2008
This product is a good value and gets the job done. I don't know if anyone else experienced this problem, but mine came without all the necessary bungies. Enough I suppose, but not as many as indicated. As noted by other reviewers, the instructions make no sense and don't work; but if you just follow the image on the cover of the box, you should be able to figure it out. The kids are enjoying it.
Missing Parts..Unclear instructions
August 21, 2008
Assembly instructions are horrible. No total piece count to verify parts in the box. I'm short 3 pieces so this ball return is worthless.
I called the 888 number but hours are M - F 10am to 5pm!
I can't tell if 1 part is supposed to be crimped or if it's just bent.
If I ever do get it together, will it work? Much fustration with this thing!
