Furlihong Upgraded Electronic Baseball Pitching Machine, Adjustable Angles & Speed, AC Adapter or Battery Powered, Comes with 8 Dimpled Balls, for Batting and Fielding Practice of Low Level

This works great for my grandson. The various styles and speeds are effective for practice and the harder plastic balls last better.

I almost didn’t buy this because of some negative reviews. I’m glad I gave it a chance. This works perfect for hitting and catching practice for my six and eight year-old grandsons. Another big plus is being able to plug it into an extension cord or use the battery option and take it to the batting cage.

Not bad at all. We use it for cricket practice. Its never going to be a professional device ,but you use it for technique training. Ive even had adults comment on its usefulness. its all about how you apply it and what your expectations are. I bought a cheap tripod to give it some height and to angle the machine downwards if needed. You can manipulate the speed on both wheels independetly and also move the wheels up or down to give a in or outswing We also use it for some fielding/catching practice although th eballs are a bit light and dont give a true feeling when throwing. so far wind has not been too much of an issue.

We bought this back in September for my son‘s birthday, and it was obviously too cold out to play it here in Nebraska. Yesterday we opened it up to play some baseball in the front yard and the ball return doesn’t even work first time we’ve ever used it now I have a $90 paperweight. Hopefully the company would replace it! 3/9/24 Update!!! Thanks to GREAT customer service we received a new unit yesterday and it works perfectly. Thanks for backing your product!

Update: after a few uses I noticed there wasn’t any difference between H and L on the machine. I reached out Furlihong customer and I was told there should be a noticeable difference. After sending a video to them, proving there is no noticeable change in speed or distance, their conclusion is that the machine is functioning normal. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of a High and Low setting. My first thoughts after using the machine for 30 minutes. It definitely should not cost this much for what it’s capable of doing. It’s not bad but I would definitely give it a higher rating if it was half the price. That being said. It serves its purpose. It was pretty straightforward for getting it started and how to adjust for angles of the ball. I’m using it to help a 6U Tball catch ground balls. We tried using for pitching outdoors but there was a slight wind and it made the extremely light balls way too inconsistent for batting. My plan will be to have it in the garage for batting. Not the worst but I will have to figure out a solution for nets. As for chasing balls and attempting to catch a pop fly, it serves its purpose. I will update here in 6 months if I feel it changes. The ball feed ramp is cheaply made and is a concern for long term use or if the plastic gets brittle, it will more than likely break. Replacements cost $30 which is a 1/3 of a new machine. About the only thing I can say I am completely displeased with is the high low function. Either the machine is wired backwards or it loses power when on H, which I am assuming is high. It seems to function better on L and I am assuming is low. The ability to take to the ball park or back yard is nice.

Don’t think it’s very adjustable. That’s the marketing lie. Otherwise it does shoot balls somewhat near the same spot

Best gift for ball players, gives ability to practice hitting and catching without having to have another person. Very easy to use and great value for the money.

This is the perfect training tool to teach (ready at pitch release). If you set it up to max speed 15 feet away it’s equivalent to being ready on 102 mile an hour pitch. My son‘s batting as greatly improved. He now has to learn how to wait instead of be early. Don’t let the small size fool you my 12u 105# son can hit a ball 240 feet.

Very happy. Bought it for cricket practice. I bought this for practicing my cricket strokes. I placed it on a height (my dinner table) and started playing. Really nice speed when you play closer to the machine. Definitely not a replacement for actual bowling. But works well as a replacement for throw downs. Very low noise: I can play in my living room without being worried too much about the noise. Don’t know the durability as it’s been only two days so far.

Throws balls all over the place. Not consistent.

Its ok but the balls are so light and unbalanced that it's impossible to get any consistency trying to hit with it. The balls are all over the place. Wind is a big factor however we've tried it inside and same issue. Inconsistent launching. Wouldn't recommend
