Franklin Rebounder saves the day
This rebounder sets up in 30 minutes or less. We live outside of town and there aren't many kids in the area. My daughter uses the rebounder for practice and it's like having another player on the field. What's great about the rebounder is the ball always comes straight back. It does not bounce back on a sharp angle, even when the ball is kicked at a sharp angle. Great product!!!!

Net breaks easily
This rebounder is nice for small kids that do not kick hard. However, if you want to be able to power kick or even use it for volleyball hitting it is not a good net. The net easily breaks and then you are left with holes in your rebounder. :P

    Great rebounder for all ages!!!
    I really love this rebounder. Im 15 and got the 12x6 one to pratice my shooting and passing and to improve my first touch and my weaker foot. It does it job well with kicking the ball right back at you. The net seems pretty durable and the frame is amazing ive hit crossbar more then a dozen times and theres not even a dent and i have a pretty good leg. The only thing that could be better is the instructions and how to put the bungi cords on for the first day they kept popping off but then i found a good way to do them and now i can hit Kunkle balls at this rebounder and they stay put this is a great rebounder and i highly recommend it to people of all ages!! And the stakes are pretty much useless but even without them it wont budge from where you put it

    Broke after 3 days of use (Christmas present)
    Broke after 3 days of use (the net ripped on the bottom). The net is not large enough for the frame. Planning to return for replacement and hope the next one is made better and holds up longer than 3 days. If not, then done with Franklin and purchase another brand.

    Great product
    This rebounder is awesome! My 11 year old grandson needed it for practicing at home. The net is very tight so the ball bounces off the net in various directions making for great practice by himself. Side note; It did take about 1 hour to put together. Other than that, Love it. Hoping it lasts a long time! Thank you

    Fun to use. Easy to assemble with one exception.
    Once assembled, the rebounder works as expected, and most importantly, inspired my kids to go out and practice. It's much easier to get a lot of kick repetitions when you don't have to retrieve the ball out of the back of a regular soccer net after each kick. Even unstaked, we never knocked the net over, though I plan to stake it down after I mow the lawn to keep it from tipping when the ball hits the net. The assembly instructions are accurate but demand careful reading. The type is set close horizontally (little space between letters and words) and vertically (lines are close together), which made it easy to skip important steps for this reader who is accustomed to scanning instructions. The parts of the rebounder went together easily, though on two occasions I had to rotate a class of parts 90 degrees to properly line up holes or attach the correct ends. The instructional omission is how to attach the net using the supplied bungies. The instructions have you construct the equipment with the tubes through the bungie loops, so it was not obvious to me how to attach the net. I watched the video to see how it is to be done. It looked to me like the woman wrapped the bungie twice around the tube to make a loop into which the head (a black plastic half-sphere with jack-o-lantern-like teeth at the equator) could be secured. Doing that around the whole net was pretty difficult and resulted in a very tight net with the border of the net held tightly against the tubes. Too tight, I think, as one of the strings broke when I kicked the ball through the net at the white margins. This may be useful to others assembling this rebounder: I loosened the net by changing how I used the bungies to attach the net. While holding the bungie head in one hand, I stretched and twisted the opposite end of the bungie with my other hand to make a loop through which I secured the bungie head. This actually seemed a bit loose to me, so I kept the very tight bungies on the right and bottom sides and the looser method on the opposite sides to average the tightness between too tight and (possibly) too loose.

    Box was mangled, but rebounder ended up just fine
    Our box had obviously been opened and taped back together. When I contacted W-M about the missing net, they pointed me to Franklin. Franklin doesn't answer their phone, but emailing customer service worked great. They got me my stuff, and everything went together pretty easily after that. Great price and fairly easy to put together!

    Easy to put together and seemingly durable
    The rebounder seems very durable, so far. It was easy to put together and can be staked down (stakes included) to keep it from moving around; it is intended to be used on grass.

    Well made rebounder.
    This is easy to put together, well made, and a great value. I do agree that the stakes are sort of useless but it's really not that big of a deal. It's really an easy fix considering the quality of the actual net and frame.

    Excellent tool to practice accuracy and low kicks
    I am older guy who just started playing soccer a few years ago so I need to improve my shot accuracy and my left foot kicking. This rebounder is perfect for that - I already noticed my left footed kicks are getting better in the few weeks I have been using the product. The rebounder allows me to work on my mechanics to get power and accuracy into the ball - and I dont have to worry about making bad left footed kicks like I used to when I practiced my using left foot with other with players. (People don't like to chase bad kicks.) The rebounder is very well made - the net attaches to the frame with many small but super strong bungles which give the net the flexible tension to stop and return the ball. The rebounder works best for side footed kicks or low attitude power instep kicks. (It is NOT good for power kicks that are more than a few feet off the ground - just not made for that type of kick.) The net has a nice target spot in the middle - a sweet spot for accuracy and best rebounding. Overall, this a great tool at very low price to improve your kicking accuracy. I recommend for backyard play and anyone who wants to improve their accuracy. (As an aside, Franklin products are very good - we use the Franklin 6 x 4 goals for our adult weekly pickup games and they have lasted for several years now and we give them a good pounding each week.)

    Great value - works very well.
    Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the stakes holding the frame down work themselves loose - they could be longer, or an auger style vs. and upside down "U" shape. Otherwise, is well built, sturdy, and performs as expected.

    Ideal product for player developement
    After researching and trying many products, I found the Franklin rebounder to provide the most value for the cost. Many other products are far more expensive and have no noticible benefits over this product. It is simple to assemble and does everything a rebounder is expected to do. I would highly recomend this product to anyone looking to improve their soccer skills. I have two daughters, ages 7 and 10 who use it regularly. I have been playing for 35+ years and enjoy using myself in preparation for the adult leagues I currently play in.
