User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to hit with a whiffle bat or can you use a real/aluminum bat
Answer:	My son, daughter, and myself have used a child's aluminum T-ball bat. I can swing full speed with jugs poly baseballs and no issues. Jugs Balls are more consistent than the ones it came with. Huge upgrade for small money. Other limited flight styles may work also. Only have tried jugs based on others reviews and recommendations. Glad I did!! https://www.amazon.com/Jugs-Poly-Baseballs-Dozen-White/dp/B00R8EWOZK/ref=pd_aw_sim_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZBCV9C1RHS5BE9G713RW
Question:	Can you put baseballs in it
Answer:	No real baseballs, just plastic ones.
Question:	how fast does it go
Answer:	About 30 to 40 mph from a distance of 25 to 30 feet. The balls that come with it, or are recommended for it, are junk, however it works great if you buy JUGGS plastic balls. I've had one in my basement for several years hitting JUGGS balls with wood bats and love it. The balls break occasionally after a long period of time but can really take a beating. I set-up the machine on stacked crates so that the machine is at shoulder height thus replicating a very inexpensive indoor pitching machine. If you buy good balls they will be delivered consistently in the strike zone. The best money I've spent for practicing baseball in the winter.
Question:	I need something like this for my dog, I say need because my shoulder/arm can't take much more. Will this work or any other suggestions
Answer:	My dog loves it but he only brings the balls back...hasnt grasped the concept of putting then back in the basket yet. It didn't launch very far but I put it on a chair to add height. Someone suggested I buy wiffle balls (I bought a neon green set from Amazon)... they worked great.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the swingaway mvp
Answer:	No clue, my team has only used this product. The swingaway mvp looks like it would take longer to set up and also looks like more problems could occur with it.
Question:	Can I use this for a high school softball team
Answer:	Yes just buy the softball version and you are good to go. I use this with my 8u team and they love it.
Question:	Would this hold up to a 13 year old boy? Not a power hitter by any means but it looks like most of the reviews are from parents with younger kids
Answer:	You bet. One season with both high school varsity softball and baseball teams hitting this trainer, and it's still going. Colder than average spring had us inside two or more days every week plus Sunday batting cage sessions. If you're outside with it, it can be staked down. Inside had us putting two boxes of the office's copy paper in it to hold it down. It'll require a hand tightening at the beginning of every session (no time or effort really required with the nylon hand grip bolt heads) and it's good for your son and 8 of his buddies.
Question:	Is it box contents ready to play after assembly and bat? Or do additional items to use sold seperatley
Answer:	It is ready after assembly. If you do not have a decent wooden bat, you need one. The trainer will eventually ruin a metal bat. This trainer is GREAT. My son uses it all the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	does the wind affect anything
Answer:	Yes, the balls are light, and a strong wind will pull on them. Also if its raining, the muddy balls get stuck in the machine, and it slows the speed over time.
Question:	Can you get additional balls for the machine
Answer:	I bought extra balls for this machine at digginactive.com. They cost $4.99 for 5 balls. I just received them and they are the correct balls for this machine. Nephew is very happy to have the extras.
Question:	It says it comes with 5 balls, but is that all that fit in the machine at one time? Is it sturdy enough to add a light plastic hopper on top
Answer:	Yes it fits all 5 balls in at one time. Don't think it's quite sturdy enough for a hopper on top. Grandkids love it though and use it a lot.
Question:	How do we replace lost balls or is this one of those limited time toys? Loose 5 and throw the bat away
Answer:	I bought the "Franklin Sports Aero-Strike Plastic Baseballs-Pack of 8 (70-mm)" on Amazon and they are exactly the same balls that come with the Diggin Lazer Pitch.
