Portable and great for weekends
Great for weekends to help practice catching. Eliminates the need for constantly having to pitch myself or hit. Saves me the effort with smooth pitches and easy to load. Portable and easy to take to fields nearby!

Great in theory
Used this with my 8 year old son. Started off strong, and was pleasantly surprised. After re-feeding it, pitches were inconsistent. Sometimes they were at least around the strike zone, other times hit the ground, and sometimes wildly high. It’s a crapshoot on where the ball will go. This increased frustration for everyone! Including the 8 year old who has the attention span of a fly.

Wouldn’t last season
Old version was much better. This is flimsy and lightweight. Made for snack children.

Batting practice
The overall product quality is great! Personally I think it would have been better if it shot bigger denser balls, but it performs well. My kids on the ball team struggled with it though because of the ball size and material being a type of foamy material.

Was okay
Shoots the balls a short distance, the balls are not very big so be careful around younger kids and bigger dogs

Bolt rating
Awesome product! Will definitely improve my son’s accuracy. The product focuses on precision, and skills. It is a week made to last. I would like to see this item in facilities.

Great practice tool
This is a great tool for hand eye coordination. I coupled it with the skilz overload strength trainer and I could not be happier. My 2 teenage sons and I all use it and it has really helped with their batting this year. My 7 yr old really wants to use it but they come in way to fast for him at this point. The balls are quite small which coupled with the thin bat makes for a great hand eye coordination trainer.

Perfect practice
My son absolutely loves it. Very easy to set up. Great family time hitting balls and playing catch. I love that it also adjustable for different heights. Would definitely recommend for any baseball families.

Perfect for hand eye coordination
My step daughter plays soft ball, she’s 13. I was a little worried this would be a little kiddy for her but no, it pitches a little over 30 mph and the balls are smaller to it helps her keep her eye on the ball. It was super simple to set up. This turned out to be a really awesome product!

Super fun
My son really enjoyed this product. He’s at that age where the sport stuff for kids is too small for him but some of the adult stuff is too advanced or too big but this was perfect for him. The fact you can plug it in or use batteries is also very convenient.

So much fun!
I am impressed by the size and performance of this machine! It’s not overly big or heavy, so it’s easy to transport. The ball comes out at a nice velocity, but not overly fast or hard. It’s fun to play with and is now part of our training regiment! I highly recommend!

So much fun
This has not only been great fun for my son but also great practice! He loves it and it’s improving his skills at the same time. It’s super easy to use and so easy to carry around to the ballpark.

Handy for practice
This is a great too to add to the arsenal for batters. I like that it has the option to be plugged in (easy he me use) or battery operated (great for the field). The smaller ball size helps make it more challenging for our kids to hit. It's not super fast but works well for what we need.
