FORZA Basketball Shot Returner - 180-Degree Basketball Ball Return System | Compatible With All Basketball Hoops | Quick & Easy To Assemble | Weatherproof Design

Ordered this cautiously and asked a question on here before I did due to some mixed reviews. My son loves it. It does move occasionally but not enough to stop him wanting to practice shooting. We've had it since July and really glad we purchased it.

Overall good item. Returns the ball to you.Little bit fiddly to put together but didn’t take long. Easy enough to put onto basket ball net.

Product arrived within a couple of wks. It was easy enough to assemble however after only 30 minutes use (no dunking involved, a few simple shots in backyard) 1 of the plastic attachments snapped, see pics

The clips that connect into the rim of your basket ball hoop snapped after 5 minutes, my sons must have only thrown about 30 shots into the hop when it snapped

I'm 40 years old and love basketball. In fact, for my 40th Birthday, my present from my wife was a new basketball hoop. Ha!Anyway, if you are a serious baller and often practice on your own, you'll know how much of a pain in the backside it is when the ball swishes straight through the net....only to hit the base and ping off in another direction/the ball to bounces behind the hoop and you have to run after it. Grrr....It seriously eats up so much time having to fetch the ball every time it does this! So...I did some research and found 2-3 "returner" options.The first just didn't look like it would work, too flimsy and cheap...The second, by a more well known brand, was crazy expensive for what it was. And...Then I found the Forza returner. Decent price, so I thought I'd take a punt on it.I'm glad I did...So far so good. I've been using it for the last week or so and I'd go as far as to say I'd love it.It does the job amazing well and means I'm putting up more shots in less time.Build wise, it's mostly plastic, so time will tell whether it will last, but even if it was to break...1) it's not that expensive and 2) you could easily fix it with some cable ties.Which leads me on to the 180-degree rotation function. It's a nice idea in theory, but in reality most people won't use this function due to lack of space and wanting the ball to be returned straight down the middle for the most part.What I've found after putting up several shots is that the returner ends up rotating when you don't want it to and returns the ball to where you don't want it...Fortunately, the height of my hoop is easily adjustable, so I can drop the height make sure the returner is facing the correct way. If you can't adjust the height of your hoop easily, then a couple of cable ties can lock the rotation mechanism in place, so no biggie....I just found it a little annoying.Now, I don't write many reviews, but I thought this product was worthy of one and I also thought that it might help some other ballers out there.If you've got a decent shot and practice on your own often, then I think a returner is a must. I wish I'd have got one years ago!

This was a birthday gift. I also purchased the return shoot. Very happy.
