JUGS Standard C-Shaped Softball Screen

The JUGS Standard C-Shaped Softball Screen is a protective screen for fastpitch softball batting practice, designed for youth leagues and backyard play. Its C-shape opens a lane for a pitching machine to throw through without obstruction while the netting around it protects the machine, the coach feeding it and anyone else working behind the screen. It is the entry-level C-shaped screen in the JUGS lineup and a practical first screen for a softball family or a youth fastpitch team.

The screen combines black, double-thick 45-ply Dacron polyester netting with a 1.5-inch cold-rolled steel frame. The joints bolt together, so assembly takes no welding and no lacing.

A C-Shape Built Around the Pitching Machine

Fastpitch batting practice off a machine puts the machine and the person feeding it directly in the path of hard-hit balls. A C-shaped softball screen wraps protection around a central opening, so the machine throws through the gap while the netting above, beside and below the opening absorbs line drives that come back up the middle.

That layout protects the equipment as well as the people. A JUGS mini3 Fastpitch Softball Pitching Machine or a JUGS BP1 Softball Pitching Machine set up behind the screen is shielded from direct hits, which helps keep the machine running and aligned through a long season of practice.

Netting and Steel Frame for Everyday Softball Practice

The netting is black, double-thick 45-ply Dacron polyester. It is flexible and resilient, so it gives on impact and absorbs the energy of a batted softball rather than sending it rebounding back toward the hitter.

The frame uses 1.5-inch diameter, 1020 cold-rolled steel tubing with a 1.2-mm wall. The tubing is strong enough to keep the screen standing firm when balls hit it, yet the materials are light enough that a coach can carry the screen on and off the field or move it around a backyard cage.

Bolted Joints and Simple Setup

All joints on the JUGS Standard C-Shaped Softball Screen are bolted for strength and longevity. With no welding and no complicated lacing, the screen goes from box to field quickly, and the bolted frame holds its shape when it is moved from one practice area to another.

Who the JUGS Standard C-Shaped Softball Screen Is For

The screen is aimed at backyard players and youth leagues, and its build also fits into practice setups at the high school, college and hitting facility level.

  • Softball families with a pitching machine at home who want the machine and the person feeding it protected during batting practice.
  • Youth fastpitch coaches running machine batting practice at the field.
  • Teams that want a second screen for station work, so one group hits off the machine while another works elsewhere.
  • Hitting facilities and cages that need a straightforward C-shaped screen for a machine lane.

For heavier daily use, the same shape is also available as the JUGS Protector Blue Series C-Shaped Softball Screen, with 60-ply netting and vinyl-covered foam frame padding, and as the JUGS Protector Series C-Shaped Softball Screen.

Setting Up for Fastpitch Batting Practice

Set the screen between the hitter and the pitching machine with the machine centered behind the C opening, so the ball has clear room to pass through. The coach feeding the machine stands behind the netting, not beside it, and keeps the practice softballs within reach so there is no need to step out between pitches. A bucket such as the Bucket of JUGS LeatherLast Softballs or a dozen JUGS Softie Genuine Leather Practice Softballs keeps a full round ready to feed.

Before each session, check that the machine and screen are both on level ground and that the throwing lane through the opening is clear. Moving the screen as a unit with the machine keeps the alignment consistent when practice shifts from one field or cage to another.

Choosing Between the JUGS Standard Screens

Three shapes make up the JUGS Standard series. This C-shaped screen is the softball option for machine batting practice, with the throwing opening in the middle of the net so the machine is surrounded by protection. The JUGS Standard L-Shaped Pitchers Screen is a 7-foot by 7-foot baseball L-screen with a corner cutout, built for live batting practice and baseball machines. The JUGS Standard Lite-Flite and Slowpitch Screen is a compact 6.5-foot by 4-foot screen for Lite-Flite and Small-Ball machines and slowpitch. All three use the same double-thick 45-ply netting and 1.5-inch steel frame tubing, so the choice comes down to sport and how the ball is delivered.

For a fastpitch family or youth team running a machine, the C-shape is the natural fit. It keeps the protection centered on the machine and the feeder, which is where most hard-hit balls come back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a pitching machine behind this screen?

Yes. The C-shape is designed so a softball pitching machine can throw through the opening without obstruction, and the screen adds a layer of protection for the machine itself.

Is this a fastpitch or slowpitch screen?

This is a C-shaped softball screen for fastpitch batting practice. For Lite-Flite machine and slowpitch practice, the JUGS Standard Lite-Flite and Slowpitch Screen is sized for that setup.

How is the screen assembled?

All joints are bolted. There is no welding and no lacing, so the frame and netting go together quickly and the finished screen is easy to move.

Is it heavy enough for a high school or college program?

The Standard series is aimed at youth leagues and backyard play, though it works in practice setups at any level. Programs with heavy daily use may prefer the Protector Blue Series or Protector Series C-shaped screens.

What warranty does the JUGS Standard C-Shaped Softball Screen carry?

The screen has a 1-year warranty on the frame and netting.
