Choosing a Bownet L-Screen and Other Protective Screens

A Bownet L-Screen gives a batting-practice pitcher a barrier to throw through while staying protected from line drives. In this collection the Bownet L-Screen Pro and Bownet L-Screen Elite® cover the core L-screen category, and Bownet also carries an i Screen, Pitching Screen Pro, Pitch Thru Screen, and Elite® Protection screen for coaches who want different opening styles. If you want a screen with a portable frame, the Bownet Original 7' x 7' Bow Frame and Big Mouth® nets pair with several attachments.

L-Screens vs. Pitching and Softball Screens

The main difference between screen types is the shape of the cutout and how much of your body it covers. A true L-screen has an L-shaped opening for the throwing arm, which is what makes it popular for baseball batting practice. Softball options here include the Jaypro Softball "C" Shape Screen (7'x5') and the Jaypro Softball Pitching Protector (7'x7'), which use shapes suited to underhand delivery. Jaypro also offers a Baseball "L" Screen (7'x7') and a taller "L2" Screen (9'x7') for coaches who want more overhead coverage.

Sizes and Materials in This Collection

Screen and net sizes in this category run from compact 7'x5' softball screens up to 10'x10' fielder's and fungo nets, plus a wide Bownet Elite Low Barrier at 14' W x 8' H. Common footprints include:

  • 7' x 7' — the standard for L-screens, pitching protectors, and soft toss screens
  • 8' x 8' — Bownet Big Mouth Elite® and Bownet 8X8 Fungo Protection Net
  • 9' x 7' — Jaypro "L2" Screen for added height
  • 10' x 10' — Jaypro Fielder's and Fungo replacement nets

Bownet frames are built to fold and pack down for transport, while Jaypro Classic and Collegiate screens are heavier steel-frame units. If you already own a frame, watch for items sold as net-only, such as the Bownet Bombers Fastpitch Big Mouth Net and the Launch Angle Hitting Net.

Portability, Wheel Kits, and Replacement Nets

For programs that move screens between fields or in and out of storage, Jaypro offers a Classic Screen Wheel Kit and a Wheel Kit for Collegiate Screens. These let a single person roll heavier screens instead of dragging them. Replacement nets are also stocked so you don't have to buy a whole screen when the netting wears out — including Jaypro Fungo Screen Replacement Nets in 8'x8' and 10'x10' Big League Series sizes and Fielder's Screen Nets in 7'x7' and 10'x10'.

Attachments and Warranties

Several Bownet nets accept add-ons, like the Strike-Zone Attachment for 7'x7' nets, which turns a general-purpose net into a pitching target. Bownet also lists Extended Warranty options for the Pitching Screen and Elite L Screen if you want added coverage on frequently used equipment. For facilities beyond baseball and softball, this collection also includes the First Team FT22SU Super Airball Grabber and a Jaypro Volleyball Center Upright Protector Pad.

Who These Screens Suit

Coaches running daily batting practice tend to prefer heavier Jaypro Classic and Collegiate steel-frame screens, while travel teams and individual players often choose folding Bownet frames for easy transport. Soft toss options such as the Bownet Soft Toss Pro and Soft Toss X work well for solo hitting work in tighter spaces. Match the size to your drill, decide between a complete screen or a net-only replacement, and add a wheel kit if you plan to move the screen often.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Bownet L-Screen used for?
A Bownet L-Screen protects a batting-practice pitcher, using an L-shaped opening that lets the throwing arm follow through while the frame shields the body from line drives. This collection carries the Bownet L-Screen Pro and Bownet L-Screen Elite®, plus related Bownet pitching and protection screens for coaches who want different opening styles.
What sizes of protective screens and sock nets do you carry?
Sizes range from compact 7'x5' softball screens up to 10'x10' fielder's and fungo nets, with 7'x7' as the most common footprint for L-screens and pitching protectors. Larger options include an 8'x8' Big Mouth Elite®, a 9'x7' Jaypro "L2" Screen, and a 14' W x 8' H Bownet Elite Low Barrier.
What's the difference between an L-screen and a softball C-screen?
The difference is the shape of the opening. An L-screen has an L-shaped cutout suited to overhand baseball pitching, while a softball "C" screen uses a C-shape matched to underhand delivery. This collection carries the Jaypro Baseball "L" Screen (7'x7') and the Jaypro Softball "C" Shape Screen (7'x5'), among others.
Do you sell replacement nets for screens?
Yes. Replacement nets let you refresh worn netting without buying a new frame. Options include Jaypro Fungo Screen Replacement Nets in 8'x8' and 10'x10' Big League Series sizes and Fielder's Screen Nets in 7'x7' and 10'x10'. Some Bownet items also ship as net-only, such as the Bombers Fastpitch Big Mouth Net.
Are wheel kits available to move heavy screens?
Yes. Jaypro offers a Classic Screen Wheel Kit and a Wheel Kit for Collegiate Screens, which let one person roll heavier steel-frame screens between fields or into storage instead of dragging them. These are add-on accessories designed for compatible Jaypro screens rather than for folding Bownet frames.
How much do protective screens and sock nets cost?
Prices in this collection span up to $1,082, covering everything from smaller accessories, attachments, and replacement nets on the lower end to full steel-frame Jaypro Collegiate and Classic screens and larger Bownet barriers on the higher end. Compare each product's size, frame type, and whether it ships complete or net-only.
Which brands of protective screens do you carry?
This collection includes 48 products from Bownet, Jaypro, Douglas, All Ball Pro, and First Team. Bownet and Jaypro make up most of the L-screens, pitching screens, and fungo nets, while other brands add specialty items like the First Team Super Airball Grabber and a Jaypro volleyball upright protector pad.
