Great Pitching Machine!!!

I love this pitching machine and i love the price! The bolt balls are great for practice, and shoot out well. I'v tried using plastic golf balls since they were the same size, but they didn't pitch very well. I read the other reviews before i bought it and was a little worried it wouldn't work, but it's great. I have not tried it with batteries yet, i have just plugged it in, some reviews say it is too light without batteries but i didn't have a problem with it. I would definitely recommend it!

The balls are tiny and go super fast. I like that they are small and we fire this up inside the house to practice batting, but they go so fast she can't see them at all. I was hoping I could slow them down somehow or I need to find a bigger room so she can track it for a second. This is not a machine you can use outdoors, you will lose the balls. Otherwise, it works great. Good for the price.

Bushing wear

It worked good for the first two days. After that the wheel/motor bushings started wearing out causing intermittent problems with the pitches. Not a dependable design...

Great gadget

I am a softball coach and this machine comes in handy when we are forced inside for practice due to inclement weather. It provides a realistic pitch at a speed my players will actually face during our season. Well worth the money!

not good

It worked fine the first few times we used it but then it became very erratic. The balls were high, low, all over the place.

Balls are too small

The balls are so small. Disappointed in the ball size. Was hoping for something more realistic.
