Details
The Champro Pepper Screen Rebounder 42" x 72" (NB51) is a reflex and reaction training screen built for players at every level of baseball and softball who want to sharpen their fielding instincts through unpredictable, randomly rebounding ball returns that simulate the variability of real game fielding situations. The screen randomly rebounds balls at the player to improve reflexes, easily adjusts to return ground balls, line drives, and pop-up flies depending on the training need, and features a powder-coated 1 1/4-inch steel tube frame with a weatherized high-visibility 30-ply PE net and 1 3/4-inch mesh. Push-pin connections and an included net tension tool make setup fast and adjustable. Patent pending. Available at SPC Sports.
The random rebound design is the core training value of the NB51 -- rather than producing a single predictable return pattern, the screen rebounds balls at the player in randomized directions and angles, forcing genuine reflexive reactions rather than anticipated, memorized responses. This unpredictability is specifically valuable for pepper-style drills, where rapid-fire, close-range ball exchanges demand fast hands, quick feet, and instinctive reaction speed rather than the more deliberate positioning and tracking used in standard fielding drills.
The easy adjustment to return ground balls, line drives, and pop-up flies gives coaches and players the ability to dial in the specific type of return needed for a given drill segment -- working ground ball reactions for one set of reps, then adjusting the screen to work line drive reads or pop fly tracking without needing a different piece of equipment for each rebound type.
The powder-coated 1 1/4-inch steel tube frame provides both structural durability and weather resistance -- the powder coating protects the steel tubing from rust and corrosion through repeated outdoor use and exposure to rain, humidity, and sun, while the tube diameter delivers the rigidity needed to hold the screen's shape and rebound consistency through the rapid-fire ball exchanges that pepper-style training demands.
The weatherized, high-visibility 30-ply PE net with 1 3/4-inch mesh is engineered to withstand sun exposure, rain, and outdoor storage conditions across a full season of use without degrading, fraying, or losing its rebound tension, while the high-visibility coloring makes the net and ball easier to track during the fast-paced ball exchanges that pepper drills require.
The included net tension tool allows coaches and players to fine-tune the tightness of the net to adjust the rebound characteristics for the specific type of return desired -- a tighter net producing different rebound behavior than a looser net, giving more precise control over the training stimulus than a fixed-tension screen would allow.
Push-pin connections make the NB51 fast to assemble and break down without tools, keeping practice sessions moving efficiently between drill types without complicated setup procedures interrupting training flow.
The 42-inch by 72-inch dimensions provide a compact footprint specifically sized for close-range pepper-style training, where players work in tight proximity to the screen for rapid ball exchanges rather than the longer-range fielding work that larger infield screens are designed to support.

What is pepper and how does this screen support it? Pepper is a close-range fielding drill where a player rapidly fields and returns balls hit or thrown at short distance, building quick hands, fast feet, and instinctive reaction speed. The NB51's random rebound design replicates the unpredictable return behavior of a real pepper partner, allowing a player to run pepper-style reps solo against the screen.
Can the rebound type be adjusted? Yes. The screen easily adjusts to return ground balls, line drives, or pop-up flies depending on the specific reaction skill the player or coach wants to train during a given drill segment.
What does the included net tension tool do? The net tension tool allows coaches and players to fine-tune the tightness of the net, which adjusts the rebound characteristics of the screen for the specific type of return desired during a training session.
