Step 1
Decide what type of portable pitcher's target net you're interested in buying. Some will rebound the ball back toward you. Others have a collection net so if you hit the strike zone, the ball will land inside the collector. You may have a preference for one of these types over the other.
-
Step 2
Consider the dimensions and portability that you need. Some targets come with carrying cases, making them more portable. You'll also find that the target nets differ in sizes so think about where you'll be using it most and where you'll be storing the net.
-
Step 3
Think about what you'd like on the target net. Pitcher's target nets feature a variety of aids to help you hit the right area. Many have a simple strike zone on the front; some include an outline of a batter or a catcher; some have a plain front with no design. If you're looking to improve your accuracy, you may want to buy a model that has at least a strike zone to help you with placement.

Step 4
Try out several models if possible. Seeing a target net in person, even if you buy it online, will help you determine whether the net is durable and well made. Sporting goods stores may have some models up and available for you to practice with in order to see if you like it.

Step 5
Buy the portable pitcher's target net that works best for your needs in terms of size, cost and usability. If you play for a team, you can ask the coaches for recommendations or read online reviews.
