PowerNet 5x5 Baseball & Softball Training Net Bundle - Portable Hitting & Pitching Practice Net with Weighted Ball & Tee for Backyard, Field & Travel Baseball Practice

I'm awful at building things. I have solid hand-eye coordination, but mechanically thinking I'm a mess. One summer in college, I worked at my uncle's sheet metal shop. At the end of the summer, the foreman let me know I was the worst employee at working sheet metal he'd ever seen, which is why by that point I'd been relegated to mowing the lawn and cleaning the shop.So buying something like this, it needs to be easy to put together and take apart or I'll never use it. I get so irrationally angry at Ikea and other things you have to put together. The PowerNet did not let me down. It's super easy to assemble and disassemble. I love that I'm going to be able to take this with me easily and that once my kid is old enough, bring this to his practices (assuming I force him to play baseball so I can vicariously live through him).The contraption itself is great. It's a sturdy, light-weight frame that gives some bend to it when the ball hits, which softens the impact. For adults and older kids, the only you need is a sandbag to keep it in place, although it comes with stakes as well.My 2 year-old has done most of the breaking in on the net, as evidenced in the attached video. This is a bonus feature that they don't mention. This net has been a fantastic baby-sitter as well as my child just stands in front of the net and throws balls into it until he runs out. Then he grabs them out, throws them into the grass and starts the process over again. It's allowed me to catch up on current events like the fact that we have a Presidential Election coming up and the rich guy from Home Alone 2 is running for president. What a world.
