My 9 year old can use it any time he wants to hit and can use it alone. No more having to reset the tee for each hit!

The only thing wrong would be the bag is a bit flimsy, due to the pipes having sharp edges I can see the bag ripping in a short amount of time. I plan on lining the inside of the bag with a towel to avoid the rips. Everything else is sturdy construction and have use it with a team of 10 years as a warmup prior to a game. Frees me up to deal with other kids on the team instead of holding a batting stick the entire time.

Well, it matched exactly the description in the sales literature, as wwell as what the testimonials commented on. It arrived quickly, it was easy to set up, and the item worked as described. Only concern would be the four "rubber" straps. They can't last forever, and testimonials said replacements aren't available from the company. That's too bad! If for some reason they break early, I will revise my opinion on the product; but for now after only four days, it is a good trainer. My grandson seems to love it, and he is a great hitter on Little League.

This product is mostly well designed and is a very useful tool for hitter training. The only drawback is that replacement power bands are NOT, repeat NOT available. Per e-mail from Customer Service these bands will NOT be sold separately. So buyer be forewarned. This is called planned obsolescence.

The Hurricane is invaluable during the cold wintery weather. You don't need a lot of room to set this up or to use it indoors. My son is on it for 2 to 3 hours a day just swinging away. Nice part is, he doesn't have to hit and then retrieve the ball from a hitting net. Just get in his stance and swing. Very durable and a great product. Price was cheaper than anywhere else I looked. Well worth the money.

LOVE THIS THING. MY SON IS 7 YEARS OLD AND I CAN SEE THIS GROWING WITH HIM. BOUGHT IT AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT, BUT THE GROWN UPS HAVE BEEN HAVING JUST AS MUCH (OR MORE) FUN. THE BALL DOES WIGGLE QUITE A BIT, IN AN UNNATURAL JKMIK"PITCH" MOTION, SO YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO AROUND A FEW TIMES BEFORE YOU HIT IT AGAIN. OTHERWISE, GREAT PURCHASE

This is worth the price. The rubber footing keeps it in place even on cement floors. One kid can use this all day and not have to chase balls, reload machines or wait for a good pitch. You can move around and you can adjust high and low to work on pitches in different locations. You can tell how well you hit by how far it goes around or if it bounces up and down. Highly recommend for any level

Set up is simple and straight forward! My 7yo puts it together and takes it apart by himself. Repetition builds good habits, and this machine does just that! My son practices his stance, keeping his eye on the ball, swing path, and follow through. With the auto reset feature and the fact you don't have to shag balls, he gets more swing time than other machines. Now for the bad: One bungee cord is already frayed after about 12 uses. The zipper on the bag it comes in won't zip up anymore, it separates.

My son is in little league baseball. He loves practicing on it. Brought it to practice so his team mates could use it as well and it helped them level out their swings also. He will be able to uses this for how ever long he decides to play. My husband likes hitting with it as well. Definitely worth the money. Assembles easily and has a carrying bag.

This item has exceeded my expectations. It is very sturdy and my 8 year old son enjoys swinging away at this thing. Set up is easy, the height is easily adjusted and the bunji cords actually stay very secured while operating and comes off easy for put away. My only complain would be about the carrying bag. It should have had rolling wheels. While packed away , i think the unit is heavy for mobility.
