This is a heavy duty, high-end, durable batting tee. While the styling is slightly different, it is very close in durability and quality to a Tanner Tee, but at a slightly better price. One thing that I will say about this tee is that it is better for consistent use in one location and isn't the best portable option that I have seen. Don't get me wrong, you can certainly bring this tee with you places, but it just isn't designed with convenience for portability in mind. Most portable options are designed in a way to make them collapsible in some way that makes it easy to quickly set them up and break them down. Some use a tripod style, some use a tee that screws in and out of a base easily, as well as some other styles. This tee, however, has multiple pieces that comprise the base that the tee screws in to. Once you unscrew it, there is a round heavy metal plate that comes loose from the bottom of the base. I personally wouldn't want to use this as my portable tee because once taken apart, there are multiple pieces to keep track of that don't have any way to stay together during transport, so I would be worried about needing to keep track of the multiple pieces. You can certainly transport it without taking it apart, but if you're doing that, you can't do something like keep it stored in a team equipment bag. That said, if you need a tee that you anticipate keeping in the same location, such as at your house, at a training facility, etc., this is an excellent tee. It is heavy duty and very durable. From a quality standpoint, it is one of the better tees that I've used, very similar to the original version of a Tanner Tee. Tanner tees have a great reputation for a reason, so if you don't mind spending a bit more, a Tanner tee may be a better option for you, but this Easton tee is also a good option if you want to save a few bucks. If you truly don't need to transport a tee and want the best, most heavy duty, reliable version out there, spend even more for the Tanner Heavy tee. It's expensive, but the best tee I've used.
