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.

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!

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.

Its a good machine at throwing up to 65, i do n't think we can get it to pitch 75 at 60 feet using regular baseballs. ... We move it to 55 feet and the speed is good enough for the 14u

Bought this machine for my 16 year old son. It arrived fairly quickly and I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble. Took me and my son about 15 minutes. Once it was set up my son mentioned how sweet looking it is, very nice design. Started pitching to my son and could n't believe how accurate it was. We set up at a ball field at 60 feet and it was in the strike zone every time. Speed was nice too, had to keep it on speed 8 because any faster was too fast for my son. Overall, very happy with the machine. Did some pop flies and grounders for fielding practice and was again blown away at how easy it was to use. Definitely recommend this to anyone, and would n't need to spend money on more expensive machines.

Recently purchased this machine for my 14 year old son. As I set it up I was amazed at how easy it was to assemble and how nice it looked. After tuning everything in, I pitched a few balls through the machine and was amazed at how accurate and fast it was. It's built very durable and my son absolutely loves it. I also ca n't complain about the price. I saw a few other machines with similar specs that were nearly twice the amount of money.

We bought this machine last year. It works great. We did have some issues with the feeder and had an inner tube go flat. You call the manufacturer and they actually answer the phone with great customer service. The lady I spoke to about the inner tube sent us replacements the same week. The feeder problem the gentleman I spoke to knew exactly what the issue was and waited on the phone until I made the adjustments. They REALLY stand behind their product

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.

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.
