Questions & Answers
No, I would not recommend this item for softball. I used to play softball and tried to imagine how it could be used in a training session or with a player individually. However, because it is handheld (and would make for a very small target in softball), it would be extremely difficult to do anything worthwhile with it (i.e. (e.g., toss into). I've found that it needs to be held by someone to be effective, so I'd suggest looking for another product that might be more suitable for your needs.

There are times when I use it for a quick angled rebound that they must explode to in order to save an extension. I also use it to throw a ball directly at them to test their ability to keep a "shot" moving. The net has a good amount of tension, allowing for quick rebounding. So you'll have to experiment with the goalkeeper's physical distance to get the desired effect. So far, I've found the construction and design to be fairly durable, though the net-to-frame hooks could be a little more secure. For a more secure fit, you might need to switch those out or bend them yourself. The handles can be unscrewed and detached from the frame, which makes it easier to store the rebounder in the included carrying case. Overall, and for what I require, this was an excellent purchase.
The netting's hooks begin to detach from the frame after about an hour of use. Unfortunately, this product is not very durable, but it does work well when the hooks are in place. I decided to return it in exchange for something more durable.
I've only used it a couple of times now, and it's no longer useful. Seven of the netting's tightening hooks have broken, and one set of strings has snapped. It has since devolved into a heap of garbage. I attempted to contact the manufacturer but was unable to do so due to a lack of information. I attempted to contact Amazon, where I had purchased it, but received no response. The concept is excellent, and it improves reaction time and speed; however, it is poorly implemented.
My daughter enjoys using the rebounder training net to improve her catches and overall reflexes in order to prevent goals from being scored. Goalkeepers will benefit greatly from having this tool, which can also be used by non-goalkeepers to improve their ball control. Net of excellent quality and prompt delivery.
Allows for a variety of angles as well as rebounding assistance.
This item is one of our favorites.
After a week of use with youth goalkeepers with no high-intensity impact against the net, the net and clips broke.
The product is excellent, and the shipping was extremely quick. The company was fantastic. A++++.
