Heavy-Duty Baseball Pitching Machine by Heater Sports

feher: La compré hace dos meses. Solo la he usado 3 fines de semana. Y la última vez la cámara que va dentro de la rueda que impulsa las pelotas, se ponchó. La rueda se desgastó bastante supongo porque se fue bajando el aire de la cámara. Ahora debo ver dónde conseguir refacciones. La máquina vibra mucho, espero no me dé más problemas. Si estuviera dentro del mes de compra probablemente la devolvería. Ojalá el vendedor me pueda apoyar con refacciones, ya veremos.

Paul Duhamel: The Heater pitching machine is easy to assemble and use, and very solid and stable. It feels like a commercial grade machine but at an affordable price. It pitches leather balls accurately enough but the leather degrades fairly quickly. Pitching machine balls are consistently more accurate. Save your synthetic leather balls for manual pitching. This machine is excellent for batting (and back catcher), grounders, fly ball, and line drive practice. I'm satisfied with the performance and recommend it.

Wesley A. Gallegos: Received and used it a dozen time with in 24 hours of receiving it, and one of the heater balls got stuck behind the wheel, the breaker didn’t work and the motor stopped working. Called the company and they sent out a replacement motor that day and talked through how to change it out.

Brittany W.: Machine is built solid. Easy assembly and works great. Had a issue with the auto loader not having power. I called the company and they asked me to take four screws out and check the connectors. One of the grounds had came out during shipping. Plugged it in and now works great.

Justin D.: Combined this machine with one of the 22 foot heater cages and my 7 year old has been able to practice more consistently. We got about 80 of the yellow dimpled pitching machine balls. I wouldn't recommend using real baseballs.

About 4/5 pitches are accurate, the others are off a foot or two. I look at it as a positive since he has to work on his strike zone recognition anyway and not swing at bad pitches.

Its pretty heavy and sort of a pain to move with legs on. I don't mind it, but its too heavy for my wife for when I'm not home.

Ruben Flores: If you're looking for a professional pitching machine keep looking. However, this is a solid piece of equipment if you're looking to improve your swing. The variable speed option is great because it allows you to adjust pitching speed as your batting improves. I would recommend this machine for kids ages 7-12. Top speed is around 52 mph at full throttle. This is fast enough if you are battling in a 22 to 26 foot cage.
Works well with both baseballs and wiffle balls but will scuff your baseballs real good unless you buy leather ones. The pitch is always within the strike zone but varies with some outside, inside,high and low pitches which is great because it simulates real live pitching.
The balls occasionally get tuck in the feeder so I recommend someone always standing behind the machine during practice to avoid interruptions for the batter during a jam. The jams however have become less and fewer in between uses. My thoughts is that the wheel has to break in before it starts operating at peak efficiency. Overall it is definitely worth the money If you are not willing to spend thousands on a professional unit. I was skeptical at first but i'm glad I took the plunge after...
