  • Works really well, great for practicing.
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
We had always seen/used the blue version and decided to buy one. We ends up purchasing this model and are happy with it. Easy to adjust, good quality and works well!

  • great product but BEWARE!
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
installation instructions are vague and minimal at best. (personally, i HATE when businesses give you a barcode to scan for initial/additional instructions. like, WTH. who has the time and patience for that) (and btw i went back and scanned that code to see if this was covered and no, they didn't go over this very important detail) WHEN INSTALLING THE ARM (the part that does the throwing. it swings back and forth w a spring attached to it) PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, BE SURE TO PLACE THE BLACK PLASTIC PIECE (the one attached to the end of the spring) in between the hole of your choice. (the holes that dictate the speed of the ball.) with the black plastic piece sitting on both sides and the hole from the frame in between both sides of the plastic (now when i say right side, you should be at the back of the machine with the hitter in front of you, as if you're the operator, throwing the pitches) take the pin (the only pin given, thats attached to a key ring) take that pin and insert through the black plastic piece first, then through the hole of your choosing. when i first got it, i made the mistake of placing the spring to the right of the holes and put the pin through the left side. BIG MISTAKE. pitches were not accurate, and after throwing the spring would be all over the place, pin fell out multiple times till finally, after about 20 pitches, the black plastic piece broke. wasn't very happy at that point. but after speaking with Amazon and a person @LOUISVILLE SLUGGER CO., everything was made right. very satisfied with my purchase. great product. highly recommend. (edit. so on the replacement ireceived, it came w very good, clear instructions this time. very cool. iwonder why those same instructions weren't in the first one) hmmm. well, I'm happy regardless. thank you guys. ... show more

  • Super easy to use!
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
This is very easy to learn how to use. The key, I learned, is that the baseball needs to be put on the same way every time to increase consistency. IE 4 seam alignment and on the seam. The better the ball the more consistent as well. Will even throw wiffles with consistency (not the wiffles with holes on one side the regular wiffles). Any inconsistency is usually do to the back leg sliding from the vibration of each pitch. Minor adjustments usually get it dialed back in. Up and down misses are usually the ball, how it was placed or the front is coming loose and out of the ground. Great for catchers to work on blocking, receiving etc.. Want consistent ground balls? Check, Fly balls? No idea, haven't tried that yet Lots of reps for hitting with consistent location? Absolutely. --I think its especially great for 10U and under because they can see traditional ball flight coming in as opposed to dads who lob balls in more like a slow pitch softball player developing massive uppercuts. Not to mention the release point just being way higher than what you see at this age. ... show more

  • If your arm is shot from all of the Covid Shots, this is an excellent replacement!!
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
I should note that this review is for the "Black Flame," which should have a stronger spring than the Blue Flame. I have 3 grandchildren playing either baseball or softball. I am also 72 years old and have two bum knees. I was really wondering if I would be able to depress the pedal with my really bum right knee. Yesterday I was doing it for 2.5 hours without any significant ramifications! As for Accuracy, it seemed to have some drift when pitching baseballs (Higher setting than Softballs). The back end drifted a bit but my Grandson was able to determine where the pitch would come within about a foot or so with great accuracy so that helped. The spikes in the front end were not moving at all. I guess in softer sand that may be an issue. The fly ball option was decent with a baseball. I was able to launch a baseball over the head of my grandson making him turn and run back for a catch. Any 3rd grader that can do this regularly is an upper level player. I have not even see many teams practice that. But with a softball, the ball weighed enough that it was maybe a bit better than a looping line drive over the 2nd baseman's head. Get some of the smaller lighter weight softballs, but even with those it may not be the best for fly balls. Nothing beats a 25 year old arm for throwing fly balls that challenge the outfielder without simply giving him running practice. I have seen reviews on line that suggest that the spring can come loose and hit the person running the machine in the thigh causing a large bruise. Just make sure you know exactly how to attach the spring to the footpedal to minimize the chances of this happening. I am also thinking that there might just be a way to minimize the potential of this happening, so that even if it broke loose a bunge cord properly positioned, or even a couple of very strong 150# zip ties might take most or all of the sting out of the recoil. ... show more

  • It takes some getting used to
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
This thing is sturdy, bulky, heavy duty and it flings softballs really well. I particularly love that it’s not perfectly in the same spot every time but is in a larger strike zone all of the time. That’s just going to help with recognition. Use this with my kiddo for catching practice and this thing can zing some balls. It can also be turned down to a minor league level pitch as well. Really good pitching machine for the money especially if you get it on sale. ... show more

  • Great product
Style Name: Flame Pitching Machine
I wouldn’t use this for soft pitch practice 6-7year olds but little league plus would be perfect for catching and hitting. Very easy to setup and it’s very durable.
