Reviews on Softball equipment and material
Baseball Hitting Stick Batting Trainer  4 stars. This hitting wand lasted over three 12U fast pitch softball seasons. Baseball Hitting Stick is the best hitting wand that I have used to date.
Easton 7-foot Popup Catch Net  4 stars. The best catch net I have found so far. My teams have used this for over two full seasons, and it is still in great shape. Great as a soft-toss batting station, or backing up throws at defensive stations. Easton Popup Playback Trainer  4 stars. I love that my girls LOVE using this as a fielding station. Good for team practices or individual use (just ask my youngest daughter), it teaches players to throw hard at a target, as well as tracking line drives and pop-ups. Hurricane Net  2 Stars. This catch net is made of high quality material, but the design leaves much to be desired. As a home batting aid, where stakes in the ground can be cemented into place, the Hurricane Net may suffice. As a portable batting station, though, it is pretty frustrating to use. Orbit Portable Outdoor Mister System  5 Stars. Inexpensive, easy to install, and usable at just about any water pressure. If you are looking for an easy, quick way to cool dugouts, look no further than this product. Schutt Striker II Hitting Trainer  1 Star. Possibly the most frustrating piece of equipment I have ever used as a batting station. If you DO end up with one (hopefully you didn't buy it), I suggest drilling holes at the end of each support and holding it in place with bungee cords. SKLZ Hit-a-Way  This is a great individual batting aid that kids absolutely love to use. Ours has lasted over 3 years and hundreds, if not thousands of swings. If your kid likes swinging the bat, they will voluntarily use this on their own. SKLZ Practice Net  1 star. This product should not be used for softball practice. It will only last about a month of practices before it breaks down. There are plenty of better catch nets on the market. SKLZ Pujols Power Stick  A very effective batting aid. Parents, get this for your daughters and use it regularly. Coaches, get this for your team and use it each practice. SKLZ Reaction Ball  4 stars. If you are looking for a great individual or coaching tool for developing quicker hands and better defense, look no further. This crazy thing is fun to play with and makes for a great fielding station. SKLZ Target Swing Trainer  2 Stars. This hitting wand fails in both quality of construction and comfort for the holder. After only one season, it's barely on life support as one of my batting stations and it is held together with a bunch of duct tape.
