Almost a great product but poor customer service February 17, 2010
Charles E. Dent
This is a great innovation. I'm a teaching pro and this handy portable rebound net is just the answer...but...defective material
made it very temporary. It takes a little patience to get used to the setup angle to provide good rebounds. However, used no more than 10 times, the stress on the fiberglass frame that is always under stress due to its bowed fiberglass construction eventually will break at the weak point which is right where the fiberglass frame is joined together by a metal coupling. When I finally contacted the manufacturer, they did determine it to be defective and promised a replacement. They went dark on me and never provided the exchange nor would return my calls. So as long as you are not looking for a long term tool, this is a cool item. With a bit of engineering to correct the flaw it could be a great mainstay.

Cons: Quality, Durability, Difficult to Use, Poor Design
The first one I ordered came with a 90 degree bend in the outside circle, making it impossible to test the product. This was probably UPS, but the box looked ok. So, I returned it, and, after another week, received another one. This box looked like it had been through a wood chipper, but amazingly enough, the product was in good condition.
Unfortunately, the rebound net just doesn't work well, It is fairly unstable, and, even though there are two places to adjust the angle, even at the "flattest" angle the ball came back with almost no force at all. My daughter is a top ranked junior, and she hits hard, but while occasionally the ball did come back to her she really had to wail on it. And most of the time, she just made the entire net wobble and fall apart. The straps that are used to stabilize the net simply make the net curve inwards, making it risky to hit the ball *anywhere* but the exact center. Otherwise the ball careens off in another direction because of the net curvature. So, I made the straps barely taut, which kept the net somewhat flat, but unstable. In addition, the mechanism that is used to hold the net to the outside ring is sewed velcro, and one ball that hit the outside simply unsewed the velcro, so it fell off.
So, in short, the the box isn't strong enough to ship in, the quality of the product is poor, it isn't stable, and, while it *might* be passably useful for an 7-year-old learning to play tennis, I still wouldn't recommend it.
