| Nov. 13, 2018 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | Batting screens What is the latest/greatest batting screen that you guys are buying for your teams? I'm looking for a lightweight one that hopefully folds up into a manageable space. Thanks. |
| Nov. 13, 2018 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1438 posts | The guys here make their own. They are definitely not portable. |
| Nov. 13, 2018 Jethro Men's 60 60 posts | A lot of us use Pitch Safe screens. Fold up into a nice small unit! Research on the internet. Look at Woodlawn Hitting Club and Florida half century for various videos as well as the website. |
| Nov. 13, 2018 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | Thanks Jethro. |
| Dec. 7, 2018 Tri18 352 posts | Stat The pitch safe is very good although expensive. I have a lightweight economical alternative. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |

| Dec. 7, 2018 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | My team uses this one for bp during tournaments, at a fraction of the cost for a pitch safe. https://www.amazon.com/PowerNet-I-Screen-Protection-Protector-Grounders/dp/B016YZGURG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1544201716&sr=8-4&keywords=pitching+screens |
| Dec. 7, 2018 ffdonnie Men's 60 137 posts | I have been using the Juggs Snap-tite slowpitch screen for 12 years now. This thing is completely portable and bomb proof. A little heavy for for long trips but nothing can beat it for bp around your home town. The pitch safe is a nice screen but will probably only last you a year or two. The fiberglass poles break with hard shots. I also have a Power Net but it's now only used for the little grand kids. It's very light and portable, but flexes quit a bit when hit hard. Pitchers get hit in the back of the head (lightly) when they pitch standing too close to the screen. Just my experiences. Hope this helps. |
| Dec. 11, 2018 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | Ended up getting a great deal at Amazon. Pitch Safe pitching screen, ball basket, batting screen, batting tee and three heavy balls for $200 with free delivery! |
| Dec. 12, 2018 Ozone8 44 posts | stattad, could you provide a link to that incredible deal? |
| Dec. 12, 2018 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | I could not find a pith safe on amazon, this is the only product I could find for that price. https://www.amazon.com/PowerNet-Practice-I-Screen-Weighted-Training/dp/B073X2TFGQ/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1544631175&sr=8-25&keywords=Softball+Pitching+Screens |
| Dec. 12, 2018 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | That's it. I had the wrong brand name. |
| Dec. 12, 2018 chico senior Men's 60 134 posts | Our league bought a Pitch Safe 4 years ago and use it in our Masters Division , ages 68 - 86. I bought one for our tournament team 3 years ago. It weighs about 20 lbs and sets up in less then a minute. Very durable. Folds up and stores in a metal box about 6” X 6” X 24”. Can’t remember where we bought them but we paid about $175. Well worth the expense. |
| Dec. 12, 2018 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | That's a great price, they retail for $300.00 plus shipping. |
| Dec. 12, 2018 chico senior Men's 60 134 posts | We bought it from: Pitch Safe 1-877-5332 pitchsafe.net Cost now is $299 |
| Dec. 13, 2018 garyheifner 649 posts | The Chicago Gray Sox use the Pitch safe. We are in Year 5. Very compact and I bring it to all the tournaments. 2 guys can set it up or take it down in under 30 seconds. Everyone on the team kicked in $20. Excellent choice. |
