You get what you pay for.
I was aware the product was designed to throw ‘dimple balls’ but most reviews (and/or ads) indicated it could throw real, leather baseballs with only slightly less accuracy. Slightly? Not so much. Pitches were incredibly inconsistent and the amount of time it takes to feed balls into the chute is too long. The machine takes every second it can get to accelerate to the proper speed to project the next pitch (you can hear the motor struggle to reach the appropriate velocity before the next pitch). Additionally, it’s not as sturdy/rugged as I hoped.
Look, I wanted an alternative to a $1,000 pitching machine so I knew I wasn’t getting industrial strength. But, it’s about what you’d expect for a product under $300. It’s underwhelming. It’s also tedious to assemble/disassemble. I’m not sure my expectations were aligned with reality. I’ll be sending it back - sorry.
