It's Okay. Definitely Not Worth $500+

It rattles and makes noises so loud you can't hear anyone more than 15ft away. The machine is sturdy, but needs gaskets/grommets or something to lower the noise level. Ball accuracy is okay, slight variations due to ball position when it gets dropped in. Also, vary based on the type of ball. Speed (for 10-14u) is decent and varies on the lower side 40-50 mph. You have to keep the machine at the top level to get anything decent. At the lower levels the ball just spits out (might work for 6-8u). The biggest complaint I have from the kids is that they couldn't tell when the ball was coming because there was no arm mechanism to watch for. So, they missed a lot. The curveball works great. For grounders it works decent. For five balls it works pretty okay, again, it must be at a top speed in order to get a good fly ball.

Great Pitching Machine

Purchased this for my 15 year old son to have in his 30 ft. batting cage built in the back yard. Super easy to put together and my son and husband have been in the back yard for hours hitting. Great pitches and super quiet and durable. Excellent Purchase and glad we purchased. This definitely gives him a work out and prepared for the high-school season.

Wow! What A Great Pitching Machine

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

Broke On First Use

Chose this because of good ratings and it looked sturdy. Set it up, tried out a few Heater baseballs and then it just stopped working. Company has to send a whole new unit. Would not recommend this. Also, whoever shipped this pitching machine opened the box to throw in the baseballs that we ordered separately (should've been a full box of baseballs) and shipped them out that way.
