Features of Batting Cage Nets

Batting cages are a great time saver and allow for players to get more cuts in. They are efficient for practice time compared to on-field practice because players get increased reps. They also save a lot of space compared to using an entire field for batting practice. For example, 25 players can rotate through a batting cage and get their batting practice in a fraction of the time it would take if they were using an entire field for batting practice.

 

Batting cage nets allow players to improve their performance without having to worry about accidentally hitting other people on the field, damaging equipment or losing balls.

 

Selecting batting cage net


Netting on batting cages is usually constructed of polyethylene or nylon. Nylon netting is more expensive but is the stronger of the two materials.

 

When selecting a net, ensure that you take note of the twine size. A number such as #21,#36, #42 or #60 indicates the size of the twine with a higher number indicating a thick twine. The twine has a direct effect on the durability of the netting.  Commercial batting cages for example typically use a minimum of #36.. Typical is #21 for backyard and youth leagues and some high school; #36 for high schools and collegiate.

 

To maximize the life of your batting cage net, be sure to take it down and store it indoors during the offseason. This will prolong the life of the net. Leaving out in the weather year round can decrease the life of the net.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

We purchased our Featherweight UltraMax Hose from Richardson Athletics and it has been a game changer!  For the Turf Guys that don’t have large crews or extra hands it is a must!  We are going into our second season with same hose and it stills seems new and is holding up to all of our wear and tear.  It’s a back saver and you can’t go wrong!

We have used Field Armor in our batter’s/catcher’s boxes for several years.  They have been, by far, the best field maintenance improvement we have ever made.  Post-game/post-practice maintenance at home plate is reduced to almost nothing.  The folks at Richardson Athletics are second to none in customer service and have taken care of our program for several years.

I am a Director of Parks and Recreation in my area, I am constantly in need of product and equipment that helps me facilitate the everyday functionality of running a park.  I look for certain things in a company when these needs arise:

  1. A website or catalog that offers an extensive variety of quality product and is easy to navigate through
  2. A company that has competitive prices; if not the best
  3. Customer service that is easily accessible, helpful, and knowledgeable on their product
  4. A company that processes transactions efficiently and headache free
  5. A company that will deliver the exact product I ordered correctly and on time
  6. A company that communicates with their customer
  7. A company that will answer questions and guide me through any issues that may arise

Richardson Athletics answers the call on all the above.  As a former professional athlete, baseball coach and Athletic Director for high school sports, I understand the needs that pertain to maintaining or building sports facilities.  With that being said, I recommend in full confidence Richardson Athletics as your vendor for whatever needs you have.

Northwest Rankin Baseball has been doing business with Richardson for over 10 years. It is one of the most professional, considerate and down to earth companies I deal with. We take a lot of pride in our facility and we continue to move forward each year. Richardson is always the company that we deal with to improve our facility. They have a great relationship with all coaches and are very easy to work with. I would recommend them to all coaches and levels of baseball. Take the time to give them a call and you will be very satisfied like Northwest Rankin Baseball.
