STX Lacrosse Bounce Back Training Aid , Black , 4 X 3 -Feet

The STX bounce back works great for Lacrosse practice, my son loves it. We don't have a wall near by, so this is great for him to practice on his own. The ball bounces back great. It is not too loud when the ball hits the target, you hear the springs rattle some, but it is better than throwing against a wood target that we used before. It was affordable and the shipping was free. It is just the right size and can fold flat for storage. Assembly was not too bad, I put it together myself, but would have been easier with 2 people. Just had to use a rubber hammer to tap the front stand into the target frame, the back stand slid in with no problem. It is still new, so hopefully it will wear well over time. We are very happy with this purchase.

I recently purchased the STX rebounder after trying a cheaper product. Don't waste your time on the cheaper products. This is worth the extra money. The STX rebounder is a high quality, well constructed rebounder for all ages....beginners to college players. It is made just like a trampoline with high tension springs and an heavy duty mat. It is similar to the Brine Rebounder, but it is arguably made with heavier duty materials. The STX rebounder performs exactly as advertised. The product alone merits 5 stars, but the STX customer service was great. We unpacked our rebounder, set it up, and realized one of the support poles had put a small tear in the trampoline mat during shipping. We were able to use it, but we were concerned it would grow into a larger rip over time. We took a picture of the rip, called customer service, and emailed the picture to customer service after describing the issue. The customer service rep talked to her supervisor and within an hour emailed us back to say they were sending us a new rebounder. All we had to do was print the return shipping label and pack up the original rebounder. It was a painless process. STX was awesome to deal with.

DO NOT BUY IT. STX has a solid reputation for quality, or so I thought, so I didn't hesitate to buy their bounceback. I bought the cover for it as well to keep moisture, rain and dust off it - hoping to extend its life. It was great for 2 years, my daughter made good use of it. Last year she went off to college, so it has been sitting unused for 18 months. I took the cover off last week to take pictures of it in order to sell it, and discovered that the cloth loops attaching the actual target the the tension springs had totally disintegrated. It is now 100% useless. The loops are made of cheap, flimsy cloth, which could not withstand the tension of the springs. I reached out to STX, and they said sorry, it is past warranty. I then asked if I could buy a new target for it to replace the ruined one. They said no, they aren't the manufacturer, so they have no parts available. What a joke. $200 down the drain, and now it's going to the scrap pile. DO NOT BUY IT.

For starters, this is a much better buy than the Brine bounceback. This consistently returns balls at the same rate, whereas the brine bounceback (which many of you may have been leaning towards due to the lower price) deadens over time, making it progressively harder to pass and catch off of it. This is also far more durable and weatherproof than the Brine bounceback. I've left this out in the snow and the rain, and it's still like new, and has no rips. My teammate purchased the Brine bounceback, and it is falling apart (fraying, rusted, full of holes). This bounceback can be easily adjusted to most desired angles, and is made of and braced by steel piping, making it incredibly durable. Unlike the cheaper, elastic-mesh version that STX makes, passes against this bounceback are returned quickly and accurately (Accurately here meaning that passes aren't returned at an angle. This is because of the solid face of this version). The excellence of this product is the reason it is used by me, by my township and by the schools of local towns' lacrosse programs. It is worth every penny.

This thing is ENORMOUS! When I ordered it, I had no idea of the size but it is fantastic! My husband was out of town and my son was desperate to play, so I sucked it up and finally got it put together. Easy enough, with only a few minor injuries. :) BUT I couldn't lift it to carry it outside! I am 5'2" and my husband is 6'1"...this is easily 4" taller than my husband. It finally made its way outside, and this has been the best thing EVER! The quality is fantastic...and STURDY! We live in Florida and have had several storms recently that have blown over LARGE plants and bird feeders, but the bounce back stands strong! If you're looking for a bounce-back, this will not disappoint!

My grandson loves it. It works very well - meaning it give clear rebounds when hit. It is especially great for someone practicing alone but it can also be used with two players. Three might be pushing it. With these kind of training devices it is easy to see why today's lacrosse players are so much more skilled that in my era. Not having wooden and rawhide stick probably helps too! Highly recommended for the learner or the seasoned LAX player.

Easy to put together and made of heavy duty components. Will do well as a back yard training aid. Solid construction and it's holding up well to the weather.

If you're new to lacrosse, you'll quickly find that wall ball practice is one of the best tools for increasing a players ability to consistently catch and throw. I purchased this rebounder for my son after having to send him to the local school all last season to get wall ball practice in. He and I assembled this ourselves. It's rather large but not difficult to move around. The instructions were easy to follow and materials are of a very high quality. This is definitely worth the money!

Got this last summer and it has really improved my son's lacrosse game, especially throwing on his weak side and behind the back. The Bounce Back is very well made and should last for years if you don't leave it outside all winter. When leaving it out I would suggest using a rust inhibitor on the metal parts as they can rust/pit over time. Definitely recommend to others.
