It is built for backyard training, youth leagues and high school teams, with Quick-Snap connectors that let the screen go up and come down without tools. For anyone running baseball or softball batting practice with lightweight practice balls, it adds a dedicated net between the hitter and the person at the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screen uses black, double-thick 45-ply Dacron polyester netting on 1.5-inch cold-rolled steel tubing, and it is light enough to carry around a backyard or on and off a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSized for Lite-Flite and Small-Ball Machines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLite-Flite and Small-Ball practice is built around lightweight balls, but a hitter who squares one up still sends it straight back toward the machine. At 6.5 feet high and 4 feet wide, this screen is sized to shield the person feeding a Lite-Flite or Small-Ball machine during drills, which makes those sessions safer for younger players and the parents or coaches running them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is narrower than a full 7-foot field screen, it fits in a backyard, a garage practice space or a corner of the field without taking over the area, and it is easy for one person to reposition between drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick-Snap Connectors for Tool-Free Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick-Snap connectors join the frame without tools. Assembly and disassembly are fast, so the screen can be set up for a session and broken down again afterward without a wrench.

The frame is 1.5-inch cold-rolled steel tubing with a 1.2-mm wall, a combination that keeps the screen stable and durable while staying lightweight and portable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the JUGS Standard Lite-Flite and Slowpitch Screen Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamilies using a Lite-Flite or Small-Ball machine in the backyard who want the person feeding the machine protected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouth league baseball and softball coaches running machine stations with lightweight practice balls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh school teams that use Lite-Flite or Small-Ball machines for reaction, bunting or short-session hitting work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlowpitch softball players and coaches who want a compact screen for batting practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Screen in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the screen between the hitter and the machine, with the person feeding the machine fully behind the netting.
