Been wanting to finally get a pitching machine. Honestly mostly for my own personal fun etc..I'm 44, so don't play on a team etc..But still love the game and, at least playing for fun. My son kind of likes it too. But definitely not as much as me, haha..Had seen this on amazon..added to a list. And figured I'd check a review or two on here. Really like your video on it! I have a few Bluetti solar batteries/generators that are 2000WH. So they'd for sure run this for a while for my son and I. The other feeder you put up a pic of. That will work and feed fine on this machine? Thanks again for doing the vid on this!
Thank you. Hoping to find something under $300 for my 9 year old son to get him ready for travel. We need to upgrade from the Skilz soft toss launcher.
The one I have wouldn’t throw accurate at all, like 2 out of 10 were good. The speed of the machine would get faster without touching the setting. I actually lost it on it one day because I was tired of setting it up to have it not work right. I ended up throwing it and smashing it with a bat and it wouldn’t break and it upset me more, so threw it in the woods and it went down a little cliff with rocks. I ended up retrieving it, because that would be a waste of money and I could donate it to a local baseball team. The poles were all bent, but the plastic housing didn’t have anything wrong with it, it’s very durable. I fixed the poles and put it back together. After the beating it took, it now throws 9 out of 10 good pitches, the speed doesn’t fluctuate, and works better than ever. I don’t condone this violence for anyone.
We just bought the spinball wizard 2 wheel.. it works good when all goes smoothly but the ball gets caught in the shoot because it isn’t at the right angle. Maybe we should of started with this machine 😞 haha
now that it has been a year. How has it held up using real baseballs? Heater sports sells balls specifically for this machine, and even says not to use real balls as it will damage the machine. But I just want to know if it has held up?
great video, i coach pony ball with the kids. i will definitely be looking into this. maybe i missed it but which generator works best the 220w or the 300 w
You could probably get about an hour and a half of running this off the 200WH one. About 2 and a half hours with the 300WH. Hope that helps? If you plan to use this for a bit longer. I very HIGHLY recommend buy like a 500WH or 600WH Bluetti. They are super good quality solar generators/batteries. They have a lot longer lifecycle/charges for the battery inside. On average, Bluetti's lifecycle is like 3X's as much as Ecoflow or Jackery. I have several Bluetti one's. 2 big one's and one 500WH which is the AC50S model. That one is pretty cheap, has a lot of power for it's size. Will last years for charging.
I bought one last season. Mine was very in accurate when throwing real leather baseballs. Also the instructions say to use real leather balls if you use baseballs but thry warn you not to use them because there is higher risk of injury. This machine destroys the leather on the baseballs, too. Stick to the hitting machine dimpled balls.
This machine sucks! My brother-in-law got this, used it once and said hell no. Invest a little more for something better. It claims 200’ pop-ups, more like 40-50’

Thanks for the information. Great review. Useful for Dads like myself.

That was the wildest ride I've ever taken in the comments section.
Works great for catcher blocking training.

Not sure what state you live in but if you ever are in Arizona, I have a pitching machine and can throw live AB’s if you’re interested. Great content

Hi how long did it last with the flashfish battery?
great video, i coach pony ball with the kids. i will definitely be looking into this. maybe i missed it but which generator works best the 220w or the 300 w

just bought one but the ball holder it came with vibrates, probably should have invested in a better one
Where you connected for power?
Atleast you can use it for all kinds of training, not just hitting
Can u use regular baseballs? I see reviews saying it only works good with the pitching machine balls

Do you think it can pitch the tennis ball? I am kind of want to use it for the alternative cheap tennis machine.
Try it, I don’t think it will hurt the machine
I would confront them first and ask them to pay for the labour. If there not, i would
It sounds like a weed wacker on the brink of failure. 😁
School baseball teams: 👀👀👀👀👀
no way this holds up .
Firsttt pin me🙏🙏
This is a junk machine…. Do not waste your money.
