I bought this for my grandson for Christmas, because he’s been obsessed with practicing his throwing lately, and honestly, he loves it! The quality of the PVC is great, it feels thick and rugged. Setting it up was pretty straightforward, I definitely recommend filling the base with water first before you pump it up. That weight at the bottom is what gives it that "bop bag" effect, so even when he nails it with a spiral, it just wobbles and pops right back up for the next throw.
The size of it works great for him, it’s tall enough to be a challenge but not so massive that it takes over the entire yard or basement. Speaking of which, we’ve used it both indoors and out, and it’s held up great against the wind and some pretty aggressive kicks. The little PVC footballs it comes with are a nice touch too, they have a good grip to them.
One thing I really appreciated was the inclusion of the hand pump. It’s a small detail, but it meant we could get playing immediately without hunting through the garage for tools. For the price, the value is definitely there because it actually keeps him engaged and moving. It feels like a sturdy piece of gear that’s going to last through the season rather than a one-and-done birthday toy. It’s just a solid, fun way for him to work on his accuracy without me having to play catcher all afternoon.
