Pros & Cons
Pros

Highlights
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
Hight of the ball is consistant as long as the operator of the machine draws backreleases with the same speedforce every time
The way you load the dimples with the lines really affect the placement of the pitch
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
