Highlights
Quality
Outstanding product, and the best for multiple uses: i lay it flat for soft-toss with baseball in the cage.
Good things are that it can use regular baseballs, it runs on d batteries, lightweight.
Put bricks underneath the legs and bricks on top of the legs to hold it in place to shoot a faster wiffle ball pitch2.
At max power, the machine tosses major league balls to my adult height strike zone no problem.
Price
For the price this was an excellent buy as it gave my son the work out he needed working alone as covid distancing doesnt allow... Read More
Use the ball holders from your old machine or purchase another for $30 to make it an awesome 15-pitch pitching machine.
I told him that if he sticks with baseball that i'd invest in a more expensive one.
But for the price, this one works well.
Shipping
Ordered a new one and it was defective but amazon replaced it quickly and kiddo is back to punishing the new one!

The pitches go to 24 feet and you can elevate the machine to get a couple more feet out of that

If you want an even faster pitch you can insert a screwdriver into the mechanism and push the spring back even further securing it there is a trick to make the force even greater this will likely put more strain on the motor

Bringing it up to 22 still works but you need a stick to support the weight when you lean if forward

Suggestions for sklz please please make a softball version of this for use with the sklz impact limited flight blackandyellow softballs

There needs to be an ability to tilt the machine forward more and this requires being able to tilt the ball holder back to give clearance for the pitches

A version on a tripod for added weight would be great for hitting practice
