Whether you’re raising a Little Leaguer or want to get some swings in before your rec softball game, a backyard hitting net will always be more convenient than a visit to the batting cages, albeit not quite as challenging as live hitting. Still, it's important to work on the mechanics of your swing to make sure that when it's time for live pitching, you can get into rhythm quickly. Right now, Walmart has a practice net for baseball and softball that comes with a tee on sale, and it's perfect for all ages.
The Specstar 7x7 Baseball/Softball Practice Net with Tee is just $48 at Walmart right now, a 40% discount from its normal $80 price tag. That price is good on the black version; red is going for $49, while blue is $55. No matter which color you choose, you’ll be getting a net with nearly 200 five-star ratings that customers say is “very large and sturdy” and “easy to assemble,” so you can take it to and from practice if need be.

This net stretches across two frame pieces that interlock with two foundation pieces at the bottom, each of which is made of powder-coated heavy-duty iron. The frame is secured to the ground with four metal stakes for stability enough to catch even the mightiest dingers. The net itself is made of wear-resistant seven-layer knotless polyester and is a spacious 7 feet on each side, with a pocket to catch balls, preventing them from bouncing back at the hitter, in the center. It also comes with a fully adjustable metal tripod tee and a storage bag.
“My son has had this net for a few months,” one reviewer wrote. “We have left it outside in the weather, and so far, no signs of wear.” And along with durability, it also excels in ease of use. “It can be taken down and put back up in minutes if you need to travel with it. The tee is also nice and adjusts very easily.”

One customer wrote that they “can quickly put it together and disassemble.” While it comes with anchors for grass or dirt, “I am using it without anchors on a hard surface, and it holds up for baseball and softball hitting practice.” Another added that it’s “great for practice in the garage” and “much better than paying for time at the local batting cages.”
Baseball and softball players, young and old, can get a lot of use out of a sturdy net like the Specstar 7x7 Baseball/Softball Practice Net with Tee. We’re not sure how long this discount will last, so make sure you grab one ASAP.
