Great For Some Extra Reps

This pitching machine is great. The only drawback I would say is the replacement balls are a tad bit expensive

Great Tool For Hitting And Fielding

My 13 yo daughter bought this for practicing hitting and fielding. She likes it because the balls are relatively small so she can work on her hand-eye coordination. The praise was reasonable too.

Pretty Good Training Machine

Got this for my middle-schooler…Wasn’t sure what to expect for the price, but this training machine is pretty cool, and fun. It throws a little faster than I thought, and the little foam balls are great for hand-eye coordination. Can’t expect more for under $100

Returning

Terrible quality. Definitely not worth more than $20. Honestly could get the same quality at 5 Below. Dont waste your money.

Haven't Tried It Yet

I ordered online and received one that was plainly used. It was just thrown back into the box and the box was in bad shape and taped with a lot of tape. I called customer service and told them it was a gift so a second one was shipped but it came in the same shape as the first one. I am taking it back to the store. Hopefully they have one that has not been opened. I don't even know how well it works.

My Son Loves This Machine

Great practice machine. Works well outside and we even used it indoors.

Fun Toy To Use In The House

We had one 10 years ago and used it for 2 years until the boys got tired of it. Got another one for my youngest son. Works great

Received incentive

Fun!

This was a hit for my 8 year old to practice hitting in the basement during summer. He is having so much fun with it. We are considering buying more balls as it can fit a whole lot more than it came with.

Awesome Product

We got this for our 10 yr old to practice with and he loves it works great!

Received incentive

Terrible

Bought this for my son for Christmas. Barely works and inconsistent when it does, whether plugged in or batteries. Would NOT suggest for anyone who is trying to get in good reps

Terrible Product

Would give this product zero stars if I could. It is absolutely a waste of money. Does not work as advertised. Needs to be sitting at least 5 ft off the ground for the ball to even be airborne and even then its trash. Do not waste your money.

Terrible Product, Worse Customer Service

SKLZ continues to disappoint across its products and its customer service. Machine no longer can pic 10 feet and neither Dick's nor Sklz will support a return. Dicks saying it's SKLZ fault, SKLZ not responding to emails and not having a functional phone number. Don't buy SKLZ products and don't expect Dick's support outside of 90 days.

Functions Well Enough

The crank was a little tough to work at first. I was nervous I was going to break it but it works well enough for our sons in the backyard.

Received incentive

Horrible

Never could get 2 balls the same. We tried everything and it just does not work

Received incentive

Fun But All Over The Place

My 2 boys age 13 and 9 have fun with this. But they pitches are not consistent. Sometimes two balls come out at once. Buy extra balls so you don’t have to reload as often.
