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.

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 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.

This machine is great for solo training. The only tough part is finding an indoor spot with at least 30 feet of room for it to throw faster pitches. With wind whiffle balls are really tough to pick up outside. I go to a racquetball room and it’s great for picking up the balls quickly. If you know of any racquetball rooms that aren’t very occupied that may be your best bet or an empty indoor basketball court. Just remember to always let it run for a few minutes before you start feeding it. I turned it on with balls instantly once and it was throwing spitballs a few feet from the machine. Again let it warm up and it’ll be good. Start off on the soft toss setting 15 feet away and get used to that first it’s a great bp session with that alone. The sliders and cutter are also super wicked so DO NOT underestimate this thing at all.

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

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.
