Leslie bunton: This machine is ok for plastic balls shooting 12-18 feet away but it does not have enough support for actual base balls. It only shoots a few feet away. It is worth putting the extra money to get a bigger machine.

Christina: This is definitely for a younger skill set. It doesn’t launch the ball as it should. More of just like a pop up right in front so it doesn’t train for different pitches.

Sam P: This is our 2nd one. First one lasted many years of my son’s relentless practice. Ordered a new one and it was defective but Amazon replaced it quickly and kiddo is back to punishing the new one!

RickHigginsHtbro: Decent for what it is. 4 and 5 year olds hit dead on off it. 14 year old uses it hitting in a net. Built a little flimsy for the price.

Alfredo LunaAlfredo Luna: The media could not be loaded.  La compré para practicar golpes sencillos, esto dado que algunos vecinos del fraccionamiento que nos gusta el Tennis estamos adecuado una cancha la cual de cierta forma cumple con los requerimientos para una cancha de tennis.

La máquina es buena y solo porque sale muy flotada la bola, sin embargo por el precio es lo que se puede conseguir ya que una máquina automática para tennis viene costando hasta 50 veces lo de esta, claro es otro nivel. Le puse una adaptación con dos botes de papas para aumentar la cantidad de lanzamientos, que con ciertos ejercicios de subir a la red, puedes aprovechar para recargar la espiral pues con los 8 segundos que te da de tiempo entre cada lanzamiento es suficiente y más que se van haciendo más lagos los tiempos de carga de lanzamiento, pues a media que se van descargando las baterías van aumentando.

Recomiendo usar diferentes tipos de pelotas y marcas, para que varíen la distancia y el bote de la pelota y sea más entretenida la práctica.

En si es para nivel principiante e intermedio para practicar tus golpes y voleas. (También funciona para divertir a Ruffo🐶)

GurbirGurbir: Ordered this product from warehouse deals the box sticker says inspected I just hate that I wasted time by labeling Amazon a trusted place to buy refurbished never ever in future I want to do that now I have already wasted so many days with this order and will have to anyways purchase again at full price atleast Amazon should cover the difference for their own mistake

After trying all buying new batteries to make sure to use all avenues the product didn’t still work and then while looking I also found this pin stuck inside the machine and don’t even know that it should be there In the first place or not

S.D.: First and foremost, you have to accept that this is NOT a pitching machine. It's a "soft toss machine". Its purpose is to lob a baseball up into the air just high enough that you can hit it with your bat or catch it and throw to someone else. Once you accept it as such, it does that job quite well. We use ours with batteries (an AC adapter is provided, should you have power nearby) and the trajectory does not change when the batteries run low -- there is just a longer break between pitches.

I found two drawbacks of the machine. #1 is that it only holds 8 (or so) baseballs, so someone needs to be on hand to keep it loaded. That's not much of a problem because of #2. #2 is that the machine uses gravity to keep the balls ready to load into the "tossing ring". The baseballs sometimes get stuck and don't load properly. This also means someone has to be on hand to keep things moving.

The biggest benefits are #1 cost, and #2 the use of real baseballs. You don't have to buy special baseballs for the machine. I picked up a bucket of baseballs and softballs on craigslist, and away we went. In case you wonder, no, the softballs don't fit. Too bad.

This has proved to be a...
