Furlihong 6801BH Baseball Toss Machine

It got the job done for what I wanted it for. The 4 levels it has is for the ball to go higher and not further which still works for me.

Customer service was awesome! They helped me solve a problem as I had ordered an incompatible machine. Their response time was very fast and I received the new shipment within just one day!Make sure you purchase a machine that is compatible with the recycling net! In combination with this machine, the recycling net was perfect to use as a station in my elementary PE classes. We used the balls that come with the machine. Students took turns hitting the ball into the net and LOVED it. It shoots the balls out with just enough speed and trajectory for their level and ability. The recycling net really makes this machine a great teaching tool as it allows continuous play! If I couldn't buy the recycling net with this machine, I would only buy the net and place a bucket under the net where the balls fall through the funnel. On its own, the machine would be useless in my opinion. Great product!!!

The media could not be loaded. Furlihong makes quality products. This is my 3rd baseball machine from their brand. Each one has unique attributes, so I am able to use them in different ways at practice.This machine runs on D batteries, or if you have a power station it makes this truly portable.It uses special Furlihong lightweight, sting free balls; it will not work with other dimpled balls or baseballs; luckily they've included a few.Additional Furlihong Pitching Machines & their brand specific balls are all available on Amazon; as is the portable power station I have.This machine pops balls at different heights and speeds, this is great when I'm training my younger ones on pop flies (less intimidating because of the lightweight balls), or setting it next to them to soft toss a ball when they are batting. it's a nice transition from using a tee to hitting on their own.Easy to assemble, lightweight and great for practice.

Junk stopped working after 50 balls or so went through it

Pretty good! This was good for both my son and my daughter. My daughter is in youth softball and my son is in the little league. This did not come fully assembled. The box was actually ripped to bits from shipping but it did not come damaged at all which is a plus. This was easy to put together. It works very well out in the field. This is battery operated. Keep in mind this is not professional quality. We used this for extra practice on a budget. It is mostly a toy but it is still useful for getting better or learning the basics. I would recommend it!

~~Pros~~- It really lobs the balls up nicely- It lobs then at two settings, one normal and one high- I can easily run this off a simple battery generator~~Cons~~- I wish it had a rechargeable battery pack instead of using an outlet or D batteries- It really needs a carrying bagThis is super awesome! I have a perfect fence to hit these pitches against to practice my swing. I am very impressed. The balls are a bit lightweight, but I got this to perfect my swing, so that's not a concern for me.-----Diamond's Star Rating System (What do my star ratings mean?):1 STAR - Completely unusable, would request a refund2 STAR - Meets minimum viable product requirements, wouldn't purchase it again3 STAR - It does what it should, but in a non-spectacular way, I may recommend it, but definitely with reservations4 STAR - I like it. It is solid quality and delivers as advertised, I would purchase it again and recommend it to a friend5 STAR - I love it. It meets or exceeds all of my expectations and is high quality, I would purchase it again and would openly promote it to friends

The media could not be loaded. This is a pretty cool little machine and I love that it operates on electric power or batteries. Keep in mind this is not really a pitching machine, it lobs the ball to you like when a coach is sitting next to the batter and is soft tossing balls up in the air for you to hit. My video shows it on setting 3 (4 settings total). These settings adjust the height of the ball being lobbed.This company also sells a hitting net that will collect the balls and redistribute them back into the machine. I’ll update the video when I get the net to demonstrate both in action.Pros:AC adapter included or runs on batteries.Multiple settings for ball height.Net (sold separately will allow continuous ball feeding).Cons:None.

Very cheap material , poorly made.
