Comments about Trend Sports Heater Softball Pitching Machine with 9 Ball Automatic Feeder:

Bought for 2 daughters who play fast pitch, ages 10 and 12. You won't find a better Machine for the price.Housing is all metal, the wheel is a very small rubber tire type. A lot smaller than the Jugs Jr but throws about the same speed. Maxes out at about 50mph. The wind speed and direction affect the overall ball speed. Pitching into the wind slows the balls down noticeably, as does the wind from behind increase speed. Overall for [$] with a feeder you simply cant go wrong. we have thrown over 2000 balls through this machine so far and it still works fine. I would recommend the Juggs Sting free type balls (2 dozen)these seem to work the best. We have tried the heavier batting cage balls and they come out slower due to weight and sting the batters hands more.

      Comments about Trend Sports Heater Softball Pitching Machine with 9 Ball Automatic Feeder:

      We love this machine. It is great for our young girls but the adults enjoy it too. We had a hard time finding the balls needed locally so make sure to order the recommended dimple balls online when you order the machine. Very rarely a ball does get stuck in the feeder but no big deal.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
