My hubby loves this pitching machine-teaching our son to play baseball and he can focus on teaching him how to bat, because he's not the pitcher. Have used it the last few weeks and love it. Our school has the same brand. Buy it. You won't regret it. Excellent customer service-seller reached out just to make sure I ordered the right height (there are 2). He was very kind & shipped that day. Super product.

I can't say enough about this product. I am a travel baseball coach in Raleigh, NC and I use the Zooka at every practice and tournament for BP. I constantly have people come up to me and ask about it. Here is what you should know...This is a quality product. Period. It will throw thousands and thousands of balls without a hiccup. It will throw from below 40MPH to about 70 with consistency between pitches of 1-2 MPH. It has a display that shows the speed of every pitch.It does not throw a fastball exactly, it throws kind of a knuckleball -- meaning there is not much spin on the ball as it leaves the machine. Once aimed it can hit a spot about 14" square very consistently. Aim it on the center of the plate and it will give you 95%+ strikes from 50 feet away. So it is accurate. My point is that this machine is consistent but challenging to hit -- almost like having a real pitcher. If a kid can hit this thing consistently he is a good hitter.The tripod is rock solid. Generally it stays in place on its own once aimed unless the ground is wet or you are on astroturf. In these cases it is good to keep your hand on top of the unit as it throws to keep it from moving between pitches. No big deal.It will throw regular baseballs no problem, but I have put so many thousands of balls through mine I have switched to the Baden pitching machine balls. They are much more durable than regular balls and more accurate. You will literally pitch so many balls through this machine that you will wear out your balls in a few months time!This thing does so many more things than pitch. I use it for fly balls at every practice. It will throw balls to major league pop-up heights for hours. And it is so consistent. I can practice run-in, run-back, and side to side fly balls just by manipulating the Zooka. It is also great for practicing line drives, double plays and catcher drills.This thing is expensive, yes, but frankly for kids 14 and under it is as good or better than a top of the line hack attack machine that costs $2500. And it is WAY more convenient. On one charge it will literally throw 400 balls at least. Sets uo and tears down in 5 minutes.If you are on the fence. Buy it. If you are serious about baseball it will be the best investment you have ever made.
