Pro Pitching Machine w/48 Small Balls (Golf Ball Size) for Baseball or Softball Training | Throws Curveballs, Sliders, and Fastballs

Limited space in my yard. Like most I do not have a batting cage but want to see live pitching for bp. These balls do not fly very far and will not damage anything. The machine has plenty of settings and pitches fairly consistent. You will get some bad pitches here and there, but I like the natural variation. Gets a ton of use and is holding up well. Make sure balls are clean and dry before you fire it up. Love the battery life and being cord free too!

I'm a former division one baseball player that grew up with a batting cage in my backyard. I've hit off of every pitching machine ever. For the price this is the best I have ever seen. It is super versatile. You can hit with it, you can practice catching with it, and we even set it up so it throws ground balls for my kids. It pitches consistently within the strike zone without hitting the same spot over and over again. It is light easy to set up and simple to work. It seems to be a very high quality and is an excellent value for the money. It throws a great left-handed and right-handed curveball. The battery life was excellent for us too. You can adjust the speeds easily. My 4-year-old daughter hits off of it and it can speed up enough that a grown man would struggle to keep up with the pace. Buy it.

I got this just after my Modified softball season ended but fall Slow Pitch is coming! I was hoping I would be able to simulate that kind of pitching, and with care it will work well enough. As I expected, using the small balls and my thin bat resulted in quite a few whiffs along with soft contact more than I'd like. If your ego can get hurt easily, this machine might not be for you.For those who would like to use it for slow pitch: You need a tall tripod for this; I put mine up over my head to make up for the arc that we can't fully have. You can tilt the machine back around 30 degrees before the balls start falling back and missing the wheels. I used fastball #3 at around 45 feet. Keep it to around 12-15 balls at a time so it doesn't jam up the feeder. You will have some misfires and may need to push them around on occasion because of the tilt, but it works well enough.

Has been good for indoor play/practice.A setup in the basement with a 30 foot distance between machine and hitter has worked out well for an eleven year old intermediate level baseball player.Would recommend for indoor (basement/garage) use. We have not tried outdoors.

I have been struggling to stay connected on my swing, but ever since I bought this product I no longer struggle on my swing. The weight of the ball feeder is about 3kg. The quality of the product felt very high quality and stable. But one bad thing about this product is that it’s kinda loud. If you want to practice batting in door for you or your kids, this is a great product within the price range.

We love to use this before baseball/softball gamesEasy to assemble and easy to useThe kids can run this on their own as well which works great

Very poorly constructed. Upon turning it on, the machine made a weak, brief sound, and the wheel spun very slowly for about five seconds before completely stopping. The light is on, but the wheel won't turn. My child was heartbroken, and I'm incredibly frustrated with the poor quality.

I've owned two of these machines for years and use them for a traveling teen baseball team. The light weight and easy transport allows me to set up 2 hittinng stations while the team warms up before each game.. the whiffle golf balls are harmless and do not travel far.. which is perfect for small areas.. I would recommend purchasing the golf waffle directly from the machine manufacturer.. ( off brand balls seem to be made inconsistently and do not perform well with this pitching machine.)As with any machine. Especially outdoors: checking and maintaining the machine is a must for the machines performance and life span. Check inside the machine after a few sessions. Make sure the connections are solid and no moisture or corrosion is present.. as with any mechanical device.. ie.. your car... maintenance is a must.1. For improving eye-hand coordination.. I would recommend a 30-32 inch broom handle as a bat. Apply trainers tape or padded tape to the "hitting area" of the broom handle.. this saves the wear and tear on the wiffle balls.. hitting wiffle balls with raw wood broom handle destroys the wiffle balls.. even younger teen hitters generate a lot of bat speed with the broom handle and it can dent the wiffle balls out of shape and even break them.. or you can purchase a metal broom stick type bat from the manufacturer..2. Broom stick drill: because the broom stick is really light.. with this broom stick technique.. it helps the player learn to keep his/her weight back on pitches. ( not lunging forward in anticipation of a pitch). "Staying back" allows the player to recognize curve balls and helps them keep their head on the ball for all pitches. Most players want to hit the ball far and try too hard to generate bat speed ... in doing so.. the player tends to take a big stride forward ..throwing their weight forward onto their front foot which is fine if the player's timing is perfect.. if the pitch is a curve ball however.. all that weight transfers onto the front foot and the player's power is gone.. hence gets easily fooled by slower or "off speed " pitches.Great tool if used correctly
