EZGoal EZ Goal Professional Folding Lacrosse Throwback Rebounder

Looks like one of the openings was slightly bent when I got it. I did a little work on it and then put in the post with a rubber mallet and it went in without too much trouble. This was on a bottom post that does not need to move or anything. tried it out in the garage and it worked great. Got it outside and tried it with my kids. They needed a bit more loft on their passes so I had to adjust the angle. took seconds. It really sounds like it can take a beating. bounce surface is really tight and the frame is sturdy and does not move. My kids are starting out so they can't hurt it. I was hitting it about 3/4 speed and it didn't move. A great thing to have around when you don't have a brick wall to bounce against. And a great price too. I've seen plenty of name brand ones > $200. This is cheap, sturdy and well made. I expect it to last until my youngest finishes high school (10 years).

From all the reviews I have read, this one is the best. My daughter loves it. It is very sturdy and works great. Some people complain that it is difficult to set up. I am not sure what they are talking about! Maybe they don’t know how to read. I suspect they tried to do it all themselves. We had it all put together in less than 15 minutes. The key is you need at least two people to do it. There are springs that hold pieces that snap into place. You have to have someone stand on the base while pulling back the springs. My only complaint is that one of the safety pins didn’t fit in after we unfolded the unit. I haven’t even bothered to call the manufacture since the pin on the other side fit perfectly. The safety pins are overkill anyway. There is no way the device is going to come apart with or without one or two safety pins unless you were purposely trying to take it apart.

I received the EZGoal on time and with no damage to the box. I took everything out and inspected it. The only thing I found was a spring that came loose. I was able to hook it back up while the goal was folded. It took me about 2 hours to put it together by myself.. You can do it but I would recommend 2 people to make it easy and faster. The longest part was understanding the instructions. I am very mechanical minded and it took me bit to figure it out. Once I did it was easy to put it together. The goal feels sturdy and my Daughter loves it. A couple of things I would recommend is putting sand bags on the base to keep it from vibrating and make sure to tighten all the nuts to make sure they are on.As for folding it, that took a bet to figure it out. I thought I was going to brake it but it works. "Make sure you unhook the spring covers and press in the pin spring things" or you will hear a very loud noise. I thought I broke it but didn't You have to press the pins springs in when folding or unfolding them. They are next to were the quick release pins are. Other than that Its a great goal and I recommend it.

We've had a few different rebounders that used the bungee cord style attachment of the matts. None of those work very well, and they always fail quickly. This one uses trampoline springs and its great. Lots of rebound distance. Works great for my high school player as well as the younger boy still in elementary school.It is BIG, which is great when using, but not to easy to move around. It take a few minutes to collapse or setup as well.The instructions are useless, but fortunately its relatively simple to assemble.

Item arrived via Prime 2-day delivery. I was apprehensive due to some negative reviews about QC issue with bent or mis-shapen pole openings. Maybe the bad reviews worked, because I opened the box and everything was well packed, and I inspected all the poles before I even cut the zip-ties holding it together. The poles are heavy-duty, powder coated poles just like a regulation lacrosse goal. Same sturdy feel and diameter poles. Never looked at the directions, I found a five minute Youtube video of two guys putting it together more or less in real time (so in five minutes). It took me about 20 minutes to do it alone. One BIG reason I got this goal is it comes with the bounce screen already affixed to the frame with springs. I read some other reviews of people that took hours wrangling on the backboard with winch-straps, etc., I don't have the patience for that. This thing was up in my living room in minutes, then I had to fold it up to get it outside. Originally, I thought I might lug this back and forth to lax practices for my players, but, that seems like it would be a huge pain to do several times a week. It's staying put in the yard. I threw at it and it kind of pops the ball back up at the current angle, but for my 12U player it's perfect. Highly recommend and very pleased I shelled out the extra $50 for the better item this time.

Volleyball - I looked all over, and never saw a 1st hand review of a rebounder. The only items for sale are not for volleyball, unless you want to drop around $700. Dampening is such an important factor. Also, angling. So, yes, this works really well. My 14yo has club experience, and touches daily. Its big, anything less would probably be a PITA to play with.Setting practice - up close fast tap is a good returnHitting - so good with excellent returnBumping/Passing - yes depending on your distance away, which very much influences how well the ball returnsMany adjustments possible for angleFolding - idk yet but it seems easy enough. We'll leave it up most of the time.We just received it and put it together, the day of writing this. If anything happens, I'll update the review.Assembly - First, find a youtube video because the instructions are not great. Its VIP to extend the small side first, before the large side (STEP 1). haha A few screws will leave you scratching your head, but the only leftover is one nut FYI. We had a metal leg that was poorly manufactured and wouldn't fit. I had to dremmel down the edge of it, and it worked then.Buy it for volleyball. Its probably awesome for lacrosse LOL!
