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.

The only problem is with the speed control. The speed knob moves freely to 10 different speed. Sometime when increasing or decreasing the speed is difficult to figure out the change in speed. The automatic ball feeder works fine. I would not use real baseball if have to keep it operational for...

I have used a lot of brands and models of machines over the years. For the money, this is the best. A great teaching tool not only because it throws accurate and a variety of pitches, but it makes it fun for the hitters while they are practicing.

My Granddaughter got her first honest home run in10 and under fast pitch softball soon after her first batting practice using the machine. The machine is solidly built and works great. It is very accurate within the strike zone but does not throw to the same spot twice..

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.

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.

This pitching machine is the perfect machine for both the beginning ball player and for hitters wanting to hone their skills with curve balls and sliders. The machine was easy to assemble and within 15 minutes my boys( 11 ad 8 years old) were enjoying batting practice. The machine throws strikes and is easy to switch to curve balls and sliders.

Great softball machine, very portable, free ball feeder, pitches both fast and slow pitch, and it's perfect!

Just tried it for the first time. It assembled quickly. Of coarse height adjustment is required for changing speeds. The higher the speed the more consistent the pitch. I am very pleased with the purchase. The smile on my daughters face makes it priceless.

MaximoPuertoRico
First time, first pitching machine. fairly easy to assemble. At 100% can probably throw over 55 mph but the motor vibrates and its noisy. Around 85% does not. Since I practice slow pitch I get various speed options to practice.

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.

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.

Purchased this for our 11 year old grandson. Have not been disappointed! He and his friends love it. It is made in the USA and is very high quality. Love the fact that it requires no electricity..... Totally manual and simple. Throws a variety of pitches and can be used for catching practice as well. Eleven year olds can work it by themselves after adult instruction.

This is a great tool to use for practice and one of the best things about it is that you do not need power it is all manual! Should have an adult using it with children because the ball comes out fast and could hurt someone!

We bought one of these 2nd hand for our kids who are in baseball and softball. This has been a TERRIFIC machine. Our kids are hitting a lot better. It can also be adjusted to throw pop- ups which has helped with their catching. It has really built confidence in hitting and catching. The speed is ajustable which helps, too.

Sets up like a snap unless you are helpless. Works great. I use it both for my son and daughter and although you have to adjust the settings it tosses 100% accurately. The boys on my son's team love to try their hand at this machine. Really nice because it throws at their level and does not induce an `` up '' swing which is common with kids trying to hit balls thrown at them from adults.

Received these in the mail and put them in the machine and it was surely a home run with the kids! They love their new batting cage and the product is great!

These balls are nice quality. They are solid with a slight squishy feeling. When used in the heater pitching machine they come out slower because of their weight. If they get wet or damp they are even slower through the machine. My not have enough velocity to make it farther than 10 feet when wet.( wet because the grass is damp) When dry they can go far enough to simulate a pitcher. Not perfectly but enough for back yard practice.

We bought the Heater PowerAlley Pitching Machine Lite- Balls- 6 Pack to supplement the 6 pack that came with the machine. These white balls run at a specified 60 mph, and I believe that is correct. They are much faster than the orange, 45 mph balls. These white balls have a flatter trajectory, and you have to move the machine back a foot or so, to give the batter more reaction time. But they add more fun to the experience, because the speed and flat path the ball takes makes hitting more of a challenge.
