Great practice tool
This product came out of the box in pieces, but within 30 minutes I had it assembled. Instructions are quite basic, but I can figure things out fairly easy without detailed instructions. Once assembled, the rebounder is especially springy. When struck by the ball in the "sweet spot" it rebounds with great force. The product is of good quality materials and should last for several years. My only complaint is that the included pegs to keep the rebounder in one place don't seem to be enough to keep it down when the ball strikes the metal frame. The soil I have it pegged down to is not loose, but your typical grassy lawn. I'm planning to devise a way to make it more permanent on the ground. As it is now I am having to constantly hammer the pegs back into the ground and change their positions from time to time to keep it snugly on the ground. Product quality is great, and with some extra effort on my part it will be hassle free.
Sturdy practice net
We've had this Franklin net for a couple of months now. It was easy to assemble and surprisingly sturdy after assembly. My 8-year-old son uses the net to practice by himself. It takes hard shots very nicely and stays in place (using 4 u-shaped hooks that you bang in the ground). What's great is he gets a better practice in as the ball comes back at him and he tries to continuously kick the ball at the net. You can change the angle of the net easily if you want. The only thing I don't like is that it's not real convenient to put it away and then set it up with any frequency as you have to pull out the hooks and drive them in each time.
Just What We Wanted
The rebounder was easy to set up and my 7 and 10 year-old sons have spent hours playing with it. We are very satisfied.
Great fun but fragile
This rebounder is great fun but the lower joints collapsed after only 2 weeks of use. Potential solutions: (i) only use this rebounder from 10 feet away instead of 20, (ii) brace the lower-front joints with the pins provided, (iii) re-design the lower-front joints to be a single 3-fingered piece, instead of 3 pieces connected by just one screw.
Great!!!
This rebounder works great! It is bigger than I thought and a little hard to fit in the car... but it is a quality product.
