Franklin Sports Baseball Pitching Machine - Adjustable Baseball Hitting & Fielding Practice Machine For Kids - with 6 Baseballs - Great For Practice,Blue, Small

Good option for smaller children to learn from

Bought this to help my son (8 years old) improve his batting. He would always swing too early or miss the ball entirely. Thought this wouldn't be bad to try to improve his accuracy on hitting the ball. Works pretty well. The pitching function does the job. Pitches are varied so they are not in the same place all the time which works well when trying to improve where they are hitting. The balls it uses don't go too far so even if it is a perfect hit they don't go more then 15 yards. Fun tool to help improve his batting.

I read all the reviews before purchasing this for my five and three year old. For the price, it is excellent. As some people said, at times, it is not always accurate especially on a windy day, but what do you expect with wiffle or dimple balls that are light weight. Both my boys very much enjoy this. Even my three year old likes to try to hit them. Great buy for the price but as other's have said, not always accurate in the pitch, but I think you would know that when you are playing with wiffle/dimple balls that are so light weight.

This ball machine is made of plastic. It is good for beginners who are learning to catch short distances. You can modify the height of the ball being thrown. Gives you a good minute before it sends the next ball. Takes batteries and wears down fast.

Grandson loves it and so do all the kids on his street. Don't know how long it will last but it is getting a workout. kids range from 2 to10

Let me start by saying I have the smaller version. I bought four years ago that sits on the ground and it works great. This thing is a nightmare. Instead of the wheels being on the sides of the ball, they are on the top of the bottom and every single pitch has so much forward spin that no matter how far I tilt it back, it throws essentially a sinker straight into the ground because of the spin. If it doesn’t do that, it does the same thing but far off to the left, I can have it throw 60 pitches and three of them might be in any sort of strike zone. Cheaply built and it went from four d Batteries to four c batteries and throws nowhere near as hard as the smaller version. This thing is just unusable. Only good maybe for parts if they are interchangeable with the smaller version. I don’t remember the last time I was this dissatisfied with anything

Love this pitching machine . Bought it for my son and he loves it . Very light weight and durable like the speed that it has . Easy to assemble .

I have a regulation size wiffle all field out back and I was shopping for something that would pitch to me so I could just relax and blow off some steam. I Search and SEARCHED for something that would pitch wiffle balls and unfortunately couldn’t find something so I settled for this based off reviews and MLB sponsorship. $60. Mid-range so should be alright…. It’s not. Takes 4- C batteries to get going. (That’s another 10$) I bought the extra balls for it even though they were a bit salty in price but hey , thats the price of convenience. Right?ANYWAYS….SO HERE’s the PROBLEM..It’s pitching power/ distance is WEAK!!! and yes I am aware it’s not built for adults or professional use but,.. IT’s BAD. Like bad, BAAAAD. I can’t even put this thing 8ft away from me and it be able to lob a ball in to me.For $70, I really expected something more than this.I VERY MUCH regret the buy. I hope this reaches everyone that may be considering the product before they make the mistake of purchasing. It nots good for any age group. PASS ON IT.
