The Valle Shield Safety Net and its patented design, which contains a Front Hanging Net, was developed to do what no other hitting screen in baseball or softball has ever accomplished. The Valle Shield Safety Net keeps the batter SAFE! The old-style conventional L-Screens were designed to keep the pitcher from a batted ball hit back up the middle. Baseball and Softball, and how players practice hitting, has evolved and much of batting practice is at a close range. As a result of this change, there is an increase in the risk of balls ricocheting off a standard L-Screen at high speeds, thus putting the batter in danger. The only answer is to eliminate the ricochet, which is what the Valle Shield Safety Net has accomplished. Train while keeping the batter safe with the Valle Shield Safety net!78 in. x 39 in.
