A great starter model for my seven year old with plenty of higher speed settings to work toward. Let the machine get up to speed before turning on the feeding mechanism and you will have no problems. Unit is surprisingly accurate. Get a net to catch the missed pitches or you will be chasing balls all day.

We bought this pitching machine for our two grandsons ages 9& 7. It was easy to set up and they were able to start playing with it right away. I was worried the speed of the balls would be too fast but that was not the case. They were able to catch the balls at the higher speeds. They love it.

CoachAlan64
We bough this machine a few years ago for my son when he was in little league. It helped him greatly with his swing. Since I have a bad elbow that prevents me from throwing accurately& could n't help him practice, we were able to use this for not only his hitting practice, but you can easily adjust it& use it for fielding pop- ups& grounders as well.( Great for pop- ups!) I used to film his swings& we could see it together& work on his mechanics. It tends to bog down a little in speed after a few dozen balls go through it but just give it more time# an extra couple of seconds) between balls. My only real complaint is that we went to use it after a few seasons& the motor quit working. At the time Dick's was n't carrying them in their stores anymore or I would have replaced it with another. Instead we bought another brand that is no way near as accurate or consistent as this machine was. I think that's what I liked the most about this machine. You could get it set up& it would be real consistent. Find the strike zone& you were good!

Coach Durazo
Built and indoor batting cage in the basement and this machine is perfect. Had to figure out the math since I 'm using `` response time '' based on the distance instead of the actual speed dial. My basement is 40 ’ and had several “ higher level ” kids practice with it and verified real life game speed and the machine settings. Using the pitching machine balls only for about 8 hours a week with no issues at all. The self- feeder is also great so we can set it up and get close to the batter( next to the net) and really watch their swing without feeding the balls manually.

We use this with the xtender cage for our two sons who are avid little league baseball players. So far it has held up well. The neighbors all come to hit in the cage as well. We have the machine in a 24ft cage and it pitches the perfect speed for 11yr olds at about# 6- 7 on the dial. Our older neighbor plays for our local high school team and loves to hit off this machine as well. He hits at about# 8- 9. Which means we have more speed than we will ever need. Do n't be fooled by 50mph rating thinking it's too slow, the closer you put the machine the faster the speed feels. In a 24- 40 ft cage 50mph will feel closer to 90mph. We live in a cold winter climate so it will need to be put away during the winter, but set up is very easy. We purchased a BBQ grill cover to lay over the machine when not in use and it works out perfectly to protect it from the sun and sprinklers. Buy the yellow heater balls to use with this machine. Synthetic balls disintegrate when going through the wheel and leather are very expensive- but do work well.

Heater over delivered on the Heater Pro Curveball Pitching Machine, it's the single best single wheel real baseball pitching machine I have ever seen. Before delivery I was somewhat skeptical but I was impressed immediately with the construction and the easy of assembly, I fired the first ball out my front door 15 minutes after it was delivered. I will say this, speed 10, 50 MPH at 46- 50 feet is going to overpower most kids under 12, it seems more like a mid 80's pitch from that range so if you have a small cage 50 foot or smaller this is your ideal machine as the kids wo n't outgrow it for a few years. I 've shown this to several coaches and they all said the same that it throws much harder than what it advertises. Great machine and the price is fantastic.

This Pitching machine was bought for my Grandsons( ages 11& 7) Both boys play on leagues in the summer. This was bought to practice with in the off season. The description is very accurate. It is a very well built, solid machine. Easy to put together& store. The boys are loving it. I believe it was not recommended for the age of 7 but it challenges him and he does well with it. I would buy it again

A neighbor and good acquaintance of mine who plays for the St. Louis Cardinals bought one of these new Changeup machines. He told me it was the most effective machine he has ever used so I bought one for my sons. It is amazing how it throws change ups with a push of a button on a remote just like your car. You ca n't tell it is slowing down or speeding up. It is just like hitting against a pitcher in a game. The speed changes immediately in between pitches. Best money I ever spent to improve my kids hitting.
5
55Baseballdad
Just used it for the first time with my high school son. I was skeptical that the Changeup would somehow be telegraphed to the hitter. I thought for sure you could see the wheel slow down. I was wrong. I thought for sure you would be able to hear the motor slow down. I was wrong again. Finally, I figured the machine would take too long to adjust from Fastball to Changeup. Wrong for the third time. Hitting off this machine is just like being at bat in a game. When I played in high school and college, batting practice off machines became almost automatic. You knew the type of pitch, the speed and the general location before the next ball was pitched. This machine changes everything. My son will be able to learn to keep his bat back and not let it drift forward on off- speed pitches. If you are a serious coach or have serious ball players in your family, this machine is a must!

Purchased this as a Xmas gift for my kids that play both little league softball and baseball.

I ’ ve been using this machine for 2 weeks now and it ’s working out great. The pitches are all strikes but not exactly the same place so it ’s not too easy. It ’s a bit of work to switch the legs back and forth from the baseball to softball ones so you pretty need to do one or the other in one session. My daughter feels like the low profile legs give her pretty realistic look at how pitches come at her on the games which is a huge plus compared to having hit her off the baseball machines. It was a bit pricey being$ 500 over the machine that throws 60 mph( this one is 70) so I hope my kids are still using it when they face that velocity. I would recommend product!

This is exactly what it says it is. Perfect pitching machine for the smaller golf ball sized balls. My son and I hit wiffle golf balls before every game to get hes eyes on the ball. This machine is perfect for that, indoor or out door. I live in the Cleveland area so its pretty windy and this pitches through it no problem. I enjoy hitting off it as well. The balls have a true flight to them also, you can really hit them far. As accuracy goes its really like any other pitching machine you have to dial it in and it will occasionally throw some bad ones. Which I think is fine, you dont get perfect pitches when you step in the box.

My 10- year- old can set this up himself! Very easy to set up/take down. This pitching machine really helped my son over the last 2 years with his hitting ability. This past season he struck out once with 22 at bats. The `` small ball '' helps your child track the ball all the way in. The downsides are machine only comes with 3 balls so make sure you buy extras. Also product says it has a number of settings but I truly do not see much if any difference between speeds/settings.

Performs as advertised with the Lite Flite balls and accomplishes what we wanted at a bargain price. This machine is a quality product, well engineered for quick assembly and breakdown, solid construction with powder coated finish. Only drawback is that it's not effective for defensive play either directly from the machine or from batting practice as the balls are too light to simulate real baseballs.

Pops44
This machine is amazing what it does for what it costs. It throws every pitch, lefty or righty, every pitch a strike. I love the Liteflite balls. My kids love hitting them, and they have learned how to stay with the curveball since they know the balls wo n't hurt. Ball- in- the- dirt drills and other defensive drills are easy and effective to do. This machine really does do it all....... and it's portable, too.

Big Jim
Bought for 2 daughters who play fast pitch, ages 10 and 12. You wo n't find a better Machine for the price. Housing is all metal, the wheel is a very small rubber tire type. A lot smaller than the Jugs Jr but throws about the same speed. Maxes out at about 50mph. The wind speed and direction affect the overall ball speed. Pitching into the wind slows the balls down noticeably, as does the wind from behind increase speed. Overall for[$] with a feeder you simply cant go wrong. we have thrown over 2000 balls through this machine so far and it still works fine. I would recommend the Juggs Sting free type balls( 2 dozen) these seem to work the best. We have tried the heavier batting cage balls and they come out slower due to weight and sting the batters hands more.

This machine is for real. A coach friend of mine in California saw it at a tournament last summer and called me about it. He told me, `` You have got to get this machine for your travel team. '' I have been using it the last two weeks with my girls. It is just like hitting in a game. I push the button on the remote and it throws a perfect changeup. I push the button again and it throws a fastball/riser with no delay between pitches. The machine gives nothing away to alert the hitter which pitch is coming. I am already seeing improvements in my hitter's swing mechanics. If you coach fastpitch or have daughters that are serious players, this machine is a dream come true for teaching hitting.
