Product Reviews

This did not really work. The slightest wind comes …

This did not really work. The slightest wind comes up and you can’t use it at all. I also couldn’t use it without putting it on top of a box to make it tall enough for my 8 year old son.

Great little ball thrower.

Got this for my 9 year old son who plays church-league softball. He loves it, lets him get a solid batting practice when I’m busy with work or business related stuff (which is often).The small balls (about 1.5 inches) are helping him with his aim too.

stopped working 2nd day.

… 15 feet or so and this thing is a great at home tool to improve contact

It’s cheaply mad but even for high school ball players scoot up to 15 feet or so and this thing is a great at home tool to improve contact. Ball moves like it is pitched each ball curves and tails differently

Three Stars

Pretty cool machine just not too accurate on a windy day or in small areas.

Three Stars

It is a very nice tool but broke in 6 months after buying it

A great training aid

This works very well for help in training a little leaguer to follow the ball makes a definite difference in a batting average.

To small

Balls fly all over the place. It’s an inside machine only.

Very good

Faltaron cosas en la caja

Not good, but why was I thinking it would be?

What was I really expecting form this price? Right? It has become a waste of space in the garage for one huge reason: consistency.

Rapid Fire Hitting

The balls spit out in rapid succession not allowing the hitter to reset, had to have him swing at every other pitch. The lightest breeze blew the balls in every which direction.
