Easton Portable Baseball/Softball Backstop
Turn any wide-open grass or dirt field into a makeshift baseball diamond with the Easton portable baseball/softball backstop. Also ideal as a catch net for soccer, golf, or hitting practice, the backstop features a durable steel flatwire frame that folds up in seconds. At its most compact, the backstop fits in a 37-inch circular carrying bag, so you can easily store it with your bats, balls, and gloves. When unfolded, however, the backstop measures a robust 12 by 9 by 6 feet (W x H x D) and will catch errant pitches and foul balls with ease. Users will love the heavy-duty netting, which is designed to absorb the impact of the ball so it falls harmlessly to the ground rather than rebounding with force. And thanks to the single breakdown pole and seven ground stakes, the backstop assembles easily and stays securely rooted to the ground. Ideal for players of all skill levels, the backstop also carries a 90-day warranty. About Easton In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years. Considered one of the world's preeminent innovators, designers, and manufacturers of sporting equipment, Easton has a reputation of producing products for the highest level of performance.
