great pitching machine.
this is actually nicer than i expected. It shoots out about 20 feet with enough force that it's actually batting practice. my son is in the 8U ball and it was perfect for him. I even hit a couple off of it and was very impressed. Highly recommend, especially for younger kids.

Cute but just a toy
It is cute and the idea is great but it is cheaply made and is more of a toy than a pitching machine.

    Grandson loves it
    Bought this for 8 year old grandson. They said it worked great and spit the ball out at a good speed.

    My grandson loves playing with this
    Balls get stuck and won't always shoot out

    Good machine for beginner hitters
    Good beginner pitching machine. It doesn't always pitch correctly or far enough, but when it does, it's fun. It stops after 5 or 6 balls, but that works because we will go pick up the ones we have hit and reload them. My 10 year old enjoys it, and it's fun for the adults too. Now looking for a stronger model, it definitely taught my son the concept so I would recommend for a beginner machine.

    Not worth the money
    Doesn't work good at all . I would not recommend buying it . Just caused a lot of aggravation and grief . Every round of 6 to 12 balls it stops working and you have to mess with it to get it working again . It took little to no time at all until the kids decided to give up on it . The idea is great but the machine is not worth the time it took to put it together never the less the money spent on it .

    OK for the price
    I knew going in that I was purchasing something that wasn't for serious use by my 4 yr old, so my expectations were low and they were easily met. I would have given it 4 stars if the balls were heavier or had dimples or something to make them stay in the strike zone and 5 stars if it also ran on AC.

    Just for Fun
    Bought this for my 8 yr old Grandson. We like it pretty okay. Sometimes we have to push on the balls for one to shoot out. Sometimes two will shoot out at once!! He is not on a baseball team so this is just for fun. If you want to be serious about practice spend more money and buy a better quality one but for fun this works well enough.

    A lot of fun
    My daughter is 10 and she thinks batting practice is a blast now. Even friends and family gatherings thought great fun. Has helped greatly with her hitting hand eye coordination for 10U. Battery powered very convenient. Whiffle ball so we use in back yard. If you move it closer to batter, the ball is faster across the plate so she gets some practice with faster pitches that way. You get 6 whiffle balls and we already had one that fits fine in the machine, and I am going to buy 3 more because I think the ball holder will hold 9 or 10 so may as well fill up the auto loader to the top. On sale $20 can't beat it for outdoor family fun!

    My son loves this!!!
    My son just loves this pitching machine. He is only 4, but has quite an aptatude for hiting a baseball that neither myself nor my husband can keep up with him. He has found great joy in this pitching machine, and I havn't found a better price anywhere (and trust me, I have looked around). I would recomend this product 100% as well as Walmarts price. This product is so awesome that as soon as I put the batteries in, my son was hitting away, and it's light enough that he can carry it around! I love this pitching Machine, and I love Walmarts price for it!!
