Does exactly what it says it will. Easy assembly. Very accurate once you get it dialed in. Great all around training aid for consistent batting and fielding practice.

Pitching woes solved
Works as advertised, same as the one used by my sons youth baseball league which is nice for consistentcy. Takes a little getting used to for set up, but is accurate overall unlike dads arm. We are pleased with it so far. Would definitely recommend it for a kid moving up from t-ball.

    Great all around little machine.
    Works very well. Pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the pitching. Im 73 and have had surgery on both shoulders which causes extreme difficulty throwing the ball with my grandson. The concept of pitching, pop ups, and grounders is great which is wonderful for me to be able to work with him.

    Great little machine!
    Great little pitching machine to practice batting. My son is actually in kid pitch but not getting a good amount of batting practice so he was getting a bit rusty. He is back on track after 1 session with this. Speed is comparable to 9yo pitching.

    Awesome product
    Cons: a bit confusing to assemble but not many pieces overall...took under 20 min. Tough to fit into a non-SUV trunk although I can just squeeze it into my 4 door sedan. Pros: high quality and durable. Worth every penny. Wide range of pitching distances and speeds. Once you get desired setting/speed/distance it hits it's mark with incredible reliability and consistency. Overall: buy this item if you're like me and are bad at pitching a consistent and reliable batting practice. Provides a very safe and consistent way to build confidence in a players swing at a higher velicoty of pitches a typical youth coach would throw. Throws from a young players eye height vs a tall coach throwing down at hitter. Also allows for a more productive BP session at team practices since all pitches are hittable. I rarely write reviews but this product exceeded my expectations. Not sure of long term durability over multiple seasons but it's build very well and i have no concerns here. Note: for some reason it was like $40 more in the store so order online and do store pick-up!

    Reasonably consistent
    Our 9-12 league uses these for the 9-year-olds in games. No chronograph, so I'm not sure how accurate the speed rating is. To get the most consistent ball flight, 1) use one type/make/model of ball, 2) always orient the ball exactly the same on the arm (I've chosen one specific part of the label facing up, with the curve of the "horseshoe" pointed to my right each time), 3) be sure the base is firmly planted on/in ground -- spikes in firmly; keep rear of base from "walking" to the side after repeated pitches, 4) step full-weight onto the power lever and stay on it through the throw, 5) pull the release arm consistently and fairly quickly -- get in a one-two rhythm of "signal the player" - "snap the release". The pitches will NOT be EXACTLY the same, but much more consistent than throwing by hand.

    Batting practice
    This machine is great. What I like most is it's not 100% accurate, so beyond just having it for batting practice it also allows the batter to realize every pitch isn't swing worthy. Sometimes the machine delivers pitches to the inside, outside or just dumps it right infront of plate, but those are 1 in 10 pitches (I would guess). I recommend this to for any child or adult.

    It works as advertised so far.
    So far so good....I'm using it for slow pitch senior softball batting practice and it throws a consistent pitch far better than anyone on my team can provide from live pitching. It will be interesting to see how it performs as the spring starts stretching out. My only disappointment is that the price of the machine dropped $21 since my recent purchase....oh well.

    Improve batting and self confidence!!!!
    My son was a poor hitter at best. With the aid of this pitching machine, my son is now a decent hitter and has also gained self confidence. This is the best $ I have spent in a long time! The machine is lightweight and adjustable (speed and height). It is a great way to get the kids outside to play. I highly recommend this product.

    Great Product
    I had not seen one of these devices prior to purchasing. It was word of mouth only. I also watched You Tube videos on product. I received product via standard shipping. The product arrived in excellent condition. I was able to assemble product very easily. The instructions were very simple and clear. I had the product ready to use in approximately 15 minutes! It took approximately 5 minutes or so to fine tune/adjust machine for "strike zone". The pitches were virtually perfect with a bucket of baseballs (some new and previously used). My son was able to hit baseballs with accurate pitching. A few days later I brought the pitching machine to Little League pre-game batting practice. The team loved it! No electricity needed. Very simple, compact and mobile. A great purchase as it turned out!
