Heater Sports Baseball Pitching Machine for Kids, Teens, and Adults, Includes Automatic Ballfeeder

Called Company ... they had very good customer service sent a new one and it works fine !!!!! Great ball thrower for great price !!!!! Anyone who says it doesn’t throw fast enough .... is Wrong ,,, all you have to do is move the machine closer to you !!!!! I set mine at 25 feet and it’s the same speed as 85 mph same reaction time same speed !!!

I bought this machine in hopes to use it for my LL team this spring. I set it up in less than 5 minutes and had balls through it in even less time. I like the capabilities but will not be using it for batting practice. Everything else like fielding and fly balls worked amazingly. I couldn't keep the machine, even with the stakes in the ground, from moving. the motor and the blowback every time a ball was thrown, the machine would off center itself and we couldn't get through a bucket of balls for batting practice. It also tore up some of my balls and it's very noticeable (I hope I don't have to pay for the balls to the league because of it). I'm planning on buying the heater or juggs balls for batting practice.

We bought this machine in February. Used it for about a month and a half. In this time 2 parts fell off, one completely cracked in half and the machine vibrates badly. We tried using the machine with the stakes supplied, but the machine continually moved so we had to supply our own sand bags just to get it to pitch straight. Then with in a month the machine will not pitch a straight ball at all. When I contacted the manufacturer, they continually placed blame on my ability to use the machine correctly and argued about the quality of the machine. Apparently you have to continually fix the machine as well by placing air in the tire and adjusting the balance. I lost $200 for a piece of crap machine that worked for about a month. There are many other quality options that will not result in your losing money for a junk machine.

Surprisingly good quality for the price. The first ball tends to come out slow as the wheel takes a few seconds to spin up to speed but after that it is very consistent. It has even taken a solid line drive hit from an adult batter and survived unscathed.

Works great, our 10 year old loves it for practicing. Can angle it to simulate fly balls for catching. Many speed options. We love it so far!

Excellent if used with dimple balls. Real baseballs don't work well, depending on where the wheel grabs the balls are all over but so many bounced we just went to the dimples and it's great.

Its decent, the ball goes flat for slow pitching.. you have to use it full speed to be more then 8 feet away.. i got it for coach pitchs thats a nogo at that speed it throws about 4 feet away.. its all or nothing!! but its great for grounding and pop flys

no tiene la potencia que dicen, tienen que batear a lo corto si quieres batear a la distancia de un bateador no llega bien la bola, pero está práctica

Amazing product has really helped my sons hand eye coordination. Highly recommend this machine.

Not what I was looking
