User questions & answers

Question:	Do you think this would toss the 3" tennis balls that I use in my dogs chuck-it? I'd like to modify it so he can put the balls into it himself
Answer:	We do use real softballs. The wheels need cleaned each year after. You would have to move it closer to get it to 60 on all pitches.
Question:	Which balls would you recommend for pop flys, fielding practice
Answer:	it depends on the condition of the ball. With newer softballs it is very accurate and easy to dial in a pitch like a curve ball that breaks left 8 inches at 16 inches above the plate on the outside corner. I bought 5 doz juggs balls and those 60 all pitch the same
Question:	How loud is it when the motor is running
Answer:	This machine does not use a battery. This is the best pitching machine we have ever purchased. It came highly recommend to us and we could not be more happy with it.

Question:	Can you get additional balls for the machine
Answer:	I bought extra balls for this machine at digginactive.com. They cost $4.99 for 5 balls. I just received them and they are the correct balls for this machine. Nephew is very happy to have the extras.
Question:	It says it comes with 5 balls, but is that all that fit in the machine at one time? Is it sturdy enough to add a light plastic hopper on top
Answer:	Yes it fits all 5 balls in at one time. Don't think it's quite sturdy enough for a hopper on top. Grandkids love it though and use it a lot.
Question:	How do we replace lost balls or is this one of those limited time toys? Loose 5 and throw the bat away

User questions & answers

Question:	can u use real baseballs
Answer:	Manual feed.
Question:	can i use real baseballs
Answer:	That's why my husband purchased it for our son. It's awkward to move, not heavy so we bought one of those folding wagons to carry all his baseball equipment to the field for practice. It's a great product!
Question:	What is the difference between base hit and slider lite
Answer:	The machine needs to be secured to the ground. After every pitch the machine will jerk/move if not secured properly. The slightest movement shifts the pitches. Sandbags or weights would be an alternative to the stakes.
