(More customer reviews)Another coach I worked with used one of these. I liked it, so I bought my own. I'm past the half-way mark on the second season of using this with a Little League team, and I'm very happy with it.
Like with other "pop-up" type products, there's a trick to getting it to fold up. I've found it works best if you lay it on the ground, then fold the bottom-left corner up to the top-right. Two loops form to the sides. Grab those, and gently guide them back into a circle.
If you force it, you can twist the bars inside, and undoing that could be a hassle. But, done right, it folds up fast. I use this for soft-toss in the outfield right before a game, and I can fold it up and get it into the bag in about a minute.
The only downside I have noticed, which is why this gets 4 stars and not 5, is that the zipper on the bag on both models I've seen has broken. It's not that big of a deal, because the bag comes with velcro straps to close it up, which work good enough.
I now keep this net in the trunk of my car, and use it at every practice and game - I've probably used it over 100 times. Recommended.

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. Considered one of the world's preeminent innovators, designers, and manufacturers of sporting equipment, Easton has a reputation of producing products for the highest level of performance.
