Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought for 7 yr old son’s first year in coach pitch. Plan on getting another one for my second grandson who has played since kindergarten.
The unit is very sturdy without using the stakes. Heavy, but fairly easy to travel in the back of an suv. You guys need to beef up the bag and zipper because the unit is heavy so it needs a better carrying bag.

Packaging/appearance
My only complaint is the carrying bag is a little lightly made for a heavy product like this and arrived with a small hole in the side.
Competitiveness
We bought this to replace the other skilz hit away.
