Heater Sports Deuce 75 MPH Adjustable Baseball Pitching Machine with Automatic Ball Feeder - Delivers Fastballs & Curveballs, Suitable for All Ages | Compatible with Pitching Machine & Real Baseballs

Very nice product!!!!!

I've coupled a Westinghouse Igen2550 portable generator with this to run the 2 wheels and feeder. Bought a Timber Ridge 300 Wagon to move all from car to field. I've replaced the thumbscrews on legs with T-handle screws (5/16 - 18 coarse thread) and installed easily removable screws on the wheel covers to adjust/check air (installing rivnuts and wingbolts). Not practical to carry an allen wrench and too time consuming to remove the 6 screws. Machine states real baseballs are preferred, so I'm using raised seam Rawlings R-100P balls. Playing catch from 60 feet and this is popping in my glove at setting 7... I've learned settings to achieve knuckle balls and breaking pitches and there is lots of movement. Highly recommend you play catch with this machine before standing at the plate with it.. Seamed balls come fast and with movement like real pitches... After catching balls from the machine, I have a lot more confidence how variable the pitches can be. If you want dead straight balls, used dimpled balls. This is a big investment ($500 gen, $100 wagon, $Balls) but local cages are charging 20 cents/ball and I think I'll get my value over time with this very well build machine. 10.24.24 Update: Don't waste money with real balls. A few hundred dollars in baseballs chewed up.. Get the dimpled yellow balls.

I would have to say this is the best pitching machine I am very impressed at the quality of the Duce 75 we have put five 600 balls through it and it is dead on accurate with real baseballs. Totally impressed. Very happy with the purchase also is a very heavy and sturdy machine.

Returned. they recommend using their yellow seamless balls with the machine. like most we wanted to hit real baseballs, not rubber/plastic. The faster you put up the speed the more erratic this becomes. pitches can be 2' outside the strike zone in any direction. pitch 1 dirt ball, pitch 2 way outside, pitch 3 chin music... totally random pitch to pitch. and I was hand feeding so the seams were near the same every time. not sure it throws 75, because at full speed it was so unpredictable - almost hitting kids - it went back in the box. may work for you if you just want something for soft toss, as our trys for that were ok. also the gray tires left skid marks on the baseballs, so be aware of that also. good luck.

This machine for the money works great. My son spent hours in the batting cage enjoining this machine. Easy to set up and use.

I am extremely impressed with this pitching machine. Once I was able to figure out how to inflate the rubber tires correctly, it was all a go. It has been great for my son for hitting practice and he is an aspiring catcher. The repetition is a huge benefit. The most fun has been launching fly balls from our deck, to our yard below.

We received the pitching machine and opened the very destroyed box. I didn't think too much of it because I thought it may have gone through a rough delivery process. I WISH we would've taken pictures! It was REALLY messed up. As I continued to pull the contents out of the box, I realized that several of the small bags that contain the small yet necessary pieces were torn open and all over the bottom of the busted down box. We were missing over 10 small pieces necessary to put the machine together. I looked back at my order on Amazon to check to see if the 800.00 pitching machine I bought was pre-owned/used, which I knew it was not, but I was so confused! How could they ship their product like this??? But the worst part of the assembly was the large component. It was completely dented and we had to use a mallet in order to use the machine. The dent prevented the ability to complete the assembly but more importantly, until we used a rubber mallet to fix it, it was not adjustable. Because of the issues with the packaging and assembly, I would give this machine a 1 star, if that, which I have never done...and I order from Amazon A LOT. However, the machine itself, after 2 trips to Lowe's and way too long to put together, is pretty great. My 13 year old son loves it. We bought the recommended balls and the Heather Batting Cage (that was an pain to put together, but the pieces were all there at least) and he really does enjoy the entire system. His hitting has already improved. He was struggling to hit really fast balls (for 12/13 year olds) and recently has been facing pitchers throwing 65, 70. We purchased this unit over the less expensive model for the speed. For the cost, I was REALLY disappointed that they threw a returned unit back in the box, all jacked up, missing pieces and charged me 800.00. Not okay at all.

love it, hours of fun with it throws an accurate ball and the pitch speed range is great but when you are changing speeds you have to move the machine forward and back and it’s not the easiest to move, also the auto feeder is finicky sometimes the balls don’t roll down so you still need 2 people out there one to make sure the balls are rolling down and the other hitting

Bought this machine for my son (12 years old). I wanted something that he can grow into since is says it pitches up to 75 MPH. I clocked it at 73 so that’s close enough for my liking. We have used it for a year and a half now and no problems at all. The ball feeder holds 10 balls and is timed for 10 second feed rate. It’s a must have since no one needs to be in the cage at the same time as the batter. Also used the pitching machine to throw pop flys, grounders, line drives, and break in new baseball gloves. Highly recommended if your a baseball player.

Works very well. A professional-style machine. Very heavy.

We were looking for a high qualify machine for our batting cage set up at home. It is easy to adjust, great auto feeder and speed. You will not be disappointed
