Spalding Back Atcha Ball Return Training Aid

Ive seen couple of reviews about ppl complaining how this material should be metal and not plastic. but i think this product is good because it "IS" plastic. the material is very durable and flexible to bounce the ball back. The other review says that it doenst bounce the ball back to the same place, that might be a bit of a problme for some ppl because this product does gives your some random bounce back. However i personally like it this way so i can move a bit more and relocate and shoot at different angles randomly. Cheap and easy to install on and off anytime. A lot of the times after i scored a shot, the ball would fall and hit the bottome of the bball stand and bounce away FAR. and i had to be very careful so it woudl not hit some parked cars in the neighborhood. With this product, it really solved all the problmes. I stopped excercising for a while because of busy college, so i eventually gave mine ot my cousin. but now i feel like excercising again, so im ordering another one. I HIGHLY RECOMMAND THIS PRODUCT.

This fits on a Lifetime 1269 Pro Court goal. It’s only been up for 4 shots but it does work. Seems to gently drop the ball down and give it a moderate forward motion. I’m only 10 feet from the goal so it’s fine. For $13 it’s great, Were not trying out for teams or anything. Might not accurately pitch it to the free throw line but it’s better than nothing. Nothing means the ball could go anywhere or nowhere. Extremely annoying. The plastic seems to be consistently flexible and I’m guessing that it will last a while. If there were stiff parts I’d guess the plastic was inconsistent but I think this is a good one. That said I would probably remove it in colder temperatures. It may be brittle when ice is outside, perhaps I’ll test that theory and come back with an update.

Prime delivers again as usual. Easy to install, simple design and good price. My only concern is how the plastic coating will last over time. I will more than likely take it off during the freezing winter months in fear it will crack. Seems to be an very good design though. It works like a charm however and has made my kids and my life a dream when shooting!!!

I have a 48inch wide lifetime basketball hoop. While shooting perpendicular to the backboard (free throws), A low % (5-15%) of my makes would fall and hit the front left/right corner of the base holding up the hoop which forces the ball to careen sharply left/right between 20-50 feet. I first set up chairs to block any wild careens with limited success. The time it took to chase down my wild makes ate up a lot of my practice time. I bought this ball return system hoping it would solve my specific issue. I am happy to report it works 100% of the time with my problem. I had to adjust the attachment to to fit on the coil spring due to the ball getting stuck on the device. Took under 1 minute to initially set up and 1 minute to adjust. My basketball hoop easily adjusts with one hand from 8ft to 10ft allowing me to easily install, remove or adjust the attachment in seconds. I read reviews that were both good and bad on this product. The attachment is perfect for my issue of wild careens on made baskets. However this product is not a device that perfectly returns the ball regardless of the distance you shoot from. Don't expect 3 pt attempts to return to you. 15 ft free throws will not return to you reliably either. This device is below $25 and prevents any wild made baskets to careen wildly. If you want a device to return balls perfect to you then you must spend $300 or more NOT < 25$! Last thing, people in reviews talked about the product breaking. Not sure if my model is newer (improved?) but it seems like it won't break at all. The quality is a thick plastic that seems highly durable. Some people spoke about adding a price of wood and duct tape to ensure a better return and prevent the ball sticking to net/device. Since my device was able to lock on to rim AND fit on top of the coil spring I don't have that issue. But if your hoop doesn't have the coil spring then using a piece of wood and duct tape should prevent any issue with ball getting stuck after a made basket.

Get one of these little puppies and it will retrieve your balls for you. All you have to do is shoot and if you sink it in the basket the ball will come right back to you. Great if you are a good shooter. Doesn't help at all if you can't get it in the net. But it gives you an incentive to get better so you don't have to chase your balls around all day long.

Great product, easy to install and works nicely. Feels like light plastic, but no problems with it...

El accesorio está correcto solo que no se adapta a cualquier aro de basketball, donde lo quise usar tenía más ancha la base y no era posible adaptarlo a menos que se usará algún tipo de extensión adicional.

Me duró solamente 10 días antes de romperse totalmente. Mala calidad

Purchased for my grandsons 13 birthday. Great aid...no running around to get basketball..comes right back to you....works everytime.

When replacing the old netting on the hoop by our garage, looked into various gizmos that could help return the ball primarily to prevent it was hitting the siding especially in cold weather - can cause breaks. This was easy to install and it consistently works. The only concern is that it is plastic, so will see if subzero temperatures could crack it off - will make sure the kids don't use it then.
