Pros

Pitches are consistent every time, very sturdy design. Will even throw wiffles with consistency. Back end will bounce with each pitch and you will need realign.

Quality


Takes some “fiddling with” to get it “dialed in” but for the price i am extremely happy with this product


I would recommend and i’m happy with the purchase

Shipping


First year greatgrandson used pitching machine at games and this helped him get over being scared of the fast pitch

Competitiveness


It has functioned great for a 10u softball team


2 year updatei bought this pitching machine to help my then 9 year old become a better hitter


My sons 10u team wasnt able to get access to their pitching machine for batting practice


For consisent pitches it is best to use the same core balls
