Sports reviews of ATEC Pro Pitcher's Practice Screen with Stand
Customer Review: Worth buying
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This product is far superior to the last several versions we have purchased and eventually had to throw away. It is easy to take the black screen off the frame (though a very small child would need help) and roll it up so that it is essentially invisible heind the bush where we store it when not in use. (We are trying to be sensitive to neighbors' views but you could leave it up as well.) The screen is so sturdy that it stops balls effectively (who hasn't had a screen that blows backward with the ball's impact, despite any hooks or attachments). The frame easily slides together and stays firm, no wobbling, but could easily be taken apart after each use if needed (think umbrella open/close pushbuttons). We haven't even begun to utilize the numbered areas of the target area but that will come soon as he continues to prepare for the season. This is truly a great product.Customer Review: Very nice!

I read all the positive reviews on this site, so I went and ordered it. Took 2 mins to assemble. Very sturdy material. My 10 year old son pitches to it every day and it works very well. Pitches that miss the heavy canvas back and hit the rails are no problems. No dents or scratches yet. Even had several adults use it with no issues. Balls hit the canvas backing and just drop. And the numbers inside the large pocket help pinpoint where you want to pitch. Note that the pocket is about the size of an adult strike zone. My son just knows to target the bottom 2 rows of numbers in the pocket for a kid's strike zone.
This has to be one of the best product buys I've ever done. I was pleasantly surprised at just how well thought out and constructed this unit was. Several of our team's parents bought them now too after using mine.
Customer Review: Met Expectations

I bought this for my daughter so that she could practice her pitching in the back yard. Actually, we have no yard--it's all cement. I set out a carpet runner and the ATEC practice screen and it's worked out great, especially on those rainy days when all the dirt fields around our house are too wet to use. The screen arrived in great condition and was easy to assemble. The only suggestion I would have is that they would include two extra ball bungees for securing the bottom corners of the screen to the frame.Customer Review: Terrific practice tool for little sluggers

I bought this for my sons ages 8 and 9. They absolutely love it. This target along with a bucket of practice baseballs entertains my sons for hours. AND their pitching has improved greatly. I would highly recommend this items for any young baseball or softball player. By the way, the quality of the frame and target is excellent. I am very happy.

Customer Review: My son loves it

I have the next Nolan Ryan on my hands. He loves to pitch and pretend to pitch while he watches baseball on TV. This allows him to hone his skills. Durable, will not fall over and well made. The pocket for the balls to fall into could have used some more holes so the water does not accumulate but I punched more in and it is fine. Best practice pitching screen I have seen for the money
