Bought this for my 9 year old grandson and was afraid that it wouldn’t work well enough for him and his 8 year old brother to use. I haven’t had very good luck with toys lately and I thought a pitching machine for $29 was asking a lot. However, it worked just fine. I had purchased an extra set of balls so there would be enough for two rounds before the gathering up process. Seems the extra balls were a little heavier and fired better than the balls that came with the product, so the boys chose to use only the one set and pick-up after each round. (they have a lot more energy than I have) They had a great time practicing their batting and I got credit for getting an awesome gift.

My kids were jumping-up-and-down excited to get this as they love baseball. Unfortunately, there is no way for them to play. Even on a flat surface the balls go in wildly varying directions, heights & distances. The motor is still revving up when the first ball is pitched, so it’s always too low/short. The mechanism for loading fails every other time so that two balls are shot out at first (both too low/short). My 4 & 7 yr. olds go from swinging above their heads to getting hit in the hip, to golfing in one round of pitching. They love the concept of the machine, but only get one decent pitch out of the 6 (it already came missing 2 balls – somebody else must have smartly returned it before us). I’m hoping to find a different pitching machine that will make us all happy.

My son is 4 and already hitting them out of the park with this pitching machine. Loads of fun for the whole family. Have it set on a level surface in the back yard. I use a patio 12×12 tile.

I purchased this for my 5 year old grandson who has started T-Ball. He loved the pitching machine and it was a hit in the neighborhood, but because there were little boys playing with it, they have already broken part of it!

I bought this for my seven year old for soft toss batting practice. It’s to inconsistent to use as batting practice in any fashion. One pitch will be right down the middle, the next will go behind his back and the next will be 10 feet outside. It’s good if you want to practice catching line drives or short fly balls. That’s it. I am going to bite the bullet and purchase a real pitching machine. Also we went through 8 “D” batteries in less than an hour. I hope this helps.
