I was a little hesitant to purchase this based on other reviews I have read and the price. However after doing my own research and learning most other pitching machines were at least double the price, even more for one with a single or double tire design, I decided this was a good value for the price. And wow I have not been disappointed! This machine was worth every penny so far and does everything it says it will! I can’t yet comment on total durability as we have only used it a handful of times so far, but it appears it is built very well and should hold up. This is being used for both individual practice and team practice for the travel team I coach, so it is going to get put through the paces and I will update the review later on. But for now, great purchase!!

Bought in June of 2024 to help daughter practice catching bullpens. Great machine! Did the job and never had any issues.

It's not a bad machine. It would be better if it had a better handle to adjust the angle.

Bought and assembled according to the directions. It’s throwing a fuse and will have to get a whole replacement from the manufacturer. Customer service was at least helpful. Will change my review when they make it right with me.

This machine is WILDY inaccurate! I bought this machine to use with our 7U machine pitch pony team. Upon bringing it to practice we found that it was only accurately pitching maybe three out of every 10 balls. I figured maybe it was the balls that we were using so I bought some highly rated machine balls from Rawlings. That didn’t help at all. I’ve been up to the Annie and bought some even more expensive batting cage machine balls. This helped a little bit but still only six out of 10 pitches were even relatively near the strike zone. I’d like to say the inaccuracy might be effective for training a better to not swing at bad pitches but this machine will bounce balls 8 feet in front of the plate or send a pitch 4 feet over the batters head without changing a setting. The unpredictability for the most part ruined several practices so we decided to stop using this machine altogether. I decided to go ahead and buy the BP1 from from jugs and that machine (although far more expensive) will put eight out of 10 balls in the strike zone and when it does miss it’s only by a few inches. I’m not sure what I did wrong with this machine but my wheel is set at 17 psi on even ground (turf). I did all I could to ensure that this was not user error. I don’t even feel comfortable selling this machine to anybody.

We bought this a few days ago and it came in and it’s a really great machine for the price! It works great! So glad we bought it!

I bought this about a month ago and I’m so glad I did. Well built machine and a price you can’t beat.

Purchased for the home batting cage, this pitching machine is well made, high-quality and commercial grade. Best of all the price of this ball spitter won't take half of your paycheck.

This product is great for the price! I purchase this to use with my kids and for a softball team that I help coach. It took a little bit to get used to adjustment but adjusted to the position we wanted. It’s pretty good about throwing pitches. We have been borrowing the much more expensive blue, pitching machines and it seems to keep up with The other machines. For the price, I would definitely buy this product.
