Swing Away Hitting Net?

I like it for little kids as you can get a lot of swings but honestly for an over 12 year old I would prefer a net and a tee.

son had one up until about 12-13 and went to tee and net. I lived it as it dot inside the third garage and he could get hacks and hacks and hacks. Using the various positions for the tee once he was older and before he went PO, allowed him to mimick staying back and all the other tee drills.

I retired this at 10U you need to see ball flight. I would suggest using the $$ and buy the bownet portable hitting station.  This is >8ft high and can used for throwing and hitting and a backstop. It is easy to set up and it does weigh a heck of lot more than the 7ft nets but is a great investment. It does cost about $300 and there are cheaper options but Bownet is clearly better manufactured than the others. if it lasts for years and it should, the cost will be negligible.

I have one sitting in my garage that hasn't moved in about 3 years. My son wanted it for his 13th birthday. After 6 months he went back to the next and tee. Been trying to give it away to some co-workers with smaller kids but so far no takers. I may see if the local little league wants it.

I'm not a big fan of setups like that. My son prefers to see the ball travel a little bit into the net. I have a BowNet big mouth and also ordered a 10x10 piece of cargo/cage net that I hung from the garage ceiling. He likes that better as he can work on high tee swings with it. With the BowNet, if he hits under it slightly it comes rocketing back at him.

My son has been using/abusing a hitting net of GoSports for the past three months. And, it never sagged or changed color. It is one of the best tools for enhancing his baseball skills using superior material and performance. It would go just right in our garden or batting cage without modification.

We had something a bit unconventional, somewhat inexpensive but it sure got used a lot - even through pro ball until I moved to Montana...

I ran a plastic coated steel cable at just below ceiling level across a two car garage (parallel with the rollup door). I used this as a curtain rod for batting cage netting that ran the width of the garage, or could be bunched up on one side (note - you need the netting to be a taller than the opening hight so some bunches on the floor - or the balls won't be stopped). I also tie wrapped a medium steel chain the length of the netting base (floor) to keep balls from getting underneath.

While not in use it would be pushed to one side like a shower curtain and tucked into a ball bucket. During HS there'd be a kids doing tee work and staying out of the weather (usually with the garage door open). Having players want to hang out at your house is usually a great thing.

Once he was a PO, he'd pull it out and do all his throwing drills. It got used way more than I thought.
