I understand this thing is under 20 bucks, but it was a pain in the butt. First, putting it together wasn't as easy as stated. Second my son is 5 and doesn't have a burning fastball (yet) but if the ball hit the frame, it immediately twisted, no matter how solid the stakes in the ground were. It's just not sturdy enough. It needs more support from twisting. We're returning it and spending a little more this time.
