Can you hit hardballs in this net?

I have a few of these nets that I put together to make a 44 ft batting cage. My son and his friends do hit real baseballs using a Zooka pitching machine. They get the baseballs pitched around 45 to 50 mph. My nephew has tried it a few times and it was pitched about 65 mph to him. The poles are flimsy and bend if it's real windy, so I added a few tent pegs and some extra string to make it more sturdy.

If you go to a hardware store and buy foam pipe insulator's and put them around the fiberglass poles, then you can hit hardballs in this cage. That's the difference between this cage and more expensive options.

They recommend using the balls that are sold with the batting machine for the cage. We wanted to use hard balls also and it is not recommended. We returned this batting cage because we couldn't use hardballs and it was difficult to get into the cage.

Yes, we used it for our inground pool but we attached the net with bungeee cords to give it a little more flexibility when hit with a ball.

Real ball are not a problem if you the target cloth provided with the net. I doesn't really protect against a shank so I used "Birdie Balls"and "Almost Balls". You might be a better player so no need to worry but I heard even pros shank a shot ever so often when they working on a new shot or idea in practice.

There is an inner net and an outer net, any club is safe to use. I have used driver with no problem, just make sure you actually hit the ball INTO the net!

Hello, Yes this is a great net for drills. I have an 11 year old who plays year round travel and this is great for throwing & hitting drills. Easy to set up , just make sure to anchor in ground for stronger throws.

I don't think so. It's been a few years since I bought the table. I think I had to buy bats and balls separately. As an update the table has been outside in weather for 5 years now and still looks new. I had to replace the net last year. Other than that it has stayed perfect. Great value and great table.

Yes a standard ball can fit in the net with ease. It was a great buy, I know you will be happy with this product...

yes, at least with the softball package we got there is room to do that but the tension can not be so loose that the ball hangs loosely and takes away from the experience of hitting a ball in a fixed position. There is nothing magic about it hitting the net and it will give him incentive to hit harder...

Yes. Everyone usually plays at the net and shoots towards the basket. We have yet to have anyone hit the ceiling. Fun for all ages.

My swing is only around 90 mph, if I miss the Callaway target nothing exciting happens. I don't think it would be a good idea to depend soley on the net. The more expensive nets have bigger, better target material to stop the ball before it gets to the net material.

It varies depending upon how hard you throw the ball and if the surface of the floor is smooth. For example, we always use the net in a batting cage with a concrete floor. The ball almost always makes it back to the pitcher. However, if you set it up on grass it probably wouldn't make it further than halfway back to the pitcher.

You could try but I don't think it would work. The rings to attach it aren't on the corners and the net isnt made to hand straight.

Depends on how well you can hit back. The majority of my balls go flying off the table and I have to stop every few minutes to pick them up.

Not sure. There are gaps between the net and frame. A hockey puck might go through it. Some spots the softball went through. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you hit it flush and into the center of the net then about 85% to 90% of the time. More off center, then the percentage goes down a bunch.

Yes. You will most likely need to make a hole in the ceiling. I drive a screw into the ceiling, then tied a string to the net and the screw.
