Nice to get experience
Bought this to help my son (8 years old) improve his batting. He would always swing too early or miss the ball entirely. Thought this wouldn't be bad to try to improve his accuracy on hitting the ball. Works pretty well. The pitching function does the job. Pitches are varied so they are not in the same place all the time which works well when trying to improve where they are hitting. The balls it uses don't go too far so even if it is a perfect hit they don't go more then 15 yards. Fun tool to help improve his batting.

Throws ball every direction but straight
Let me start by saying I have the smaller version. I bought four years ago that sits on the ground and it works great. This thing is a nightmare. Instead of the wheels being on the sides of the ball, they are on the top of the bottom and every single pitch has so much forward spin that no matter how far I tilt it back, it throws essentially a sinker straight into the ground because of the spin. If it doesn’t do that, it does the same thing but far off to the left, I can have it throw 60 pitches and three of them might be in any sort of strike zone. Cheaply built and it went from four d Batteries to four c batteries and throws nowhere near as hard as the smaller version. This thing is just unusable. Only good maybe for parts if they are interchangeable with the smaller version. I don’t remember the last time I was this dissatisfied with anything

As advertised. Great for my 7 year old grandson.
The pitching machine was very easy to assemble. Took about 5 minutes. Machine worked as advertised shooting the ball out every 7 seconds. My 7 year old Grandson really likes it and was one of his favorite Christmas gifts.

Not What I Expected
I have a regulation size wiffle all field out back and I was shopping for something that would pitch to me so I could just relax and blow off some steam. I Search and SEARCHED for something that would pitch wiffle balls and unfortunately couldn’t find something so I settled for this based off reviews and MLB sponsorship. $60. Mid-range so should be alright…. It’s not. Takes 4- C batteries to get going. (That’s another 10$) I bought the extra balls for it even though they were a bit salty in price but hey , thats the price of convenience. Right?ANYWAYS….SO HERE’s the PROBLEM..It’s pitching power/ distance is WEAK!!! and yes I am aware it’s not built for adults or professional use but,.. IT’s BAD. Like bad, BAAAAD. I can’t even put this thing 8ft away from me and it be able to lob a ball in to me.For $70, I really expected something more than this.I VERY MUCH regret the buy. I hope this reaches everyone that may be considering the product before they make the mistake of purchasing. It nots good for any age group. PASS ON IT.
