Could Of Been

Bought this recently and I have mixed feeling about it. It takes about 20 seconds to get up to full speed after a previous pitch. Sometimes longer. It can throw someballs at about 50 although i only clocked it around 44. But cannot seem to find the right balls that supposedly go up to 80 even though i bought 6 extra yellow balls that were dramatically overpriced for a rubber/foam ball that were supposedly the lighter ball that travels faster. Will it get the job done? Yet to be seen. I have had some success by putting the machine very close to my son. And then moving back farther. We mix it up with real baseballs and other types of balls. Overall for the price point Id say it at least does what it describes. Throw a baseball up to 50 mph. But it takes too much time to get there in my opinion.

Disappointed - Should Have Known Better

While the machine does its job of moving balls at a variety of speeds to a batter, it lacks any feature that would allow a batter to anticipate and time his swing. Perhaps even a mechanical flag that operated on top of the ball feed that ‘trips’ a flag signaling the batter that he can expect a pitch would be a cheap enhancement to the product that would make it much more usable and a better training aid.

Exceptional!

The Heater Pitching Machine is more than capable of pitching real baseballs. I use them all the time. The instructions just say they don't throw as accurate as pitching machine baseballs since the seams on a baseball cause them not to pitch as accurately. I love this machine.
