About Easton
In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years.

Sports reviews of Easton Junior Playback Elite
Customer Review: Great pitchback
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We ordered this pitchback for our two boys to replace the same model that wore out after about 5 years. We keep the pitchback outside all year long and the weather took its toll on the first one. It is easy for the boys to adust the angel of the back. They love to practice getting grounders or quick throws back when they play with it. Sometimes they play for an hour other times 5 or 10 minutes while they are waiting for the bus. Great for practice and improving catching skills.Customer Review: Excellent Pitchback
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
For my sons 9th birthday my wife bought a bottom of the line pitchback. It did not have an adjustable center point so every ball did pretty much the same thing.
The Easton has the adjustable center so you can set it any way you like. It is also sturdy enough that it doesn't get knocked over when you hit it hard at the top.
Easy to put together and it appears to be okay sitting out in the rain (it's been outside all summer).
Great buy!
Customer Review: Highly recommended
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My son plays with this for hours. It was easy to set up, and seems to be very stable. We haven't had it for very long, and put it in the shed when he's not using it, so I can't attest to overall durability. But, I do know we had one of the cheaper ones that didn't perform even close to as well as this one....no contest.
Would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Great once you get it together. Only difficult to stretch the net. I put tape to make a square so my son has something to aim at. The quality is good and easy enough for my 5 yr old to move in and out of the garage himself. It has not tipped over its pretty sturdy. Good purchaseCustomer Review: Pleased with Purchase and Easy Assembly
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased this for my 5 yr. old son and he loves it. He'll use any ball he can throw incl. football, lax, baseball, kids basketball, and soccer. It seems to be pretty sturdy. His sessions vary from a couple of throws to 20 minutes. Longer if I join in. I believe the price was fair, which is hard to say these days. Tension from the elastic velcro bands is what holds this unit together. I suggest you move the unit while fully opened before folding down for storage because once the tension is released the frame poles come apart. Although it's no big deal to put back together and adjust frame angle for tension again. All in all I'm relatively happy with my purchase.
