Review: Assemble and use it properly and it is awesome!!! - Followed the directions exactly for setting it up and made sure all the screws and knobs were tight and everything adjusted properly. Works great!!! takes about 30 seconds or so to warm up so if you start it with the balls in the feeder, the first few balls come out limp, but it throws pretty hard on the high-level (and we were using real baseballs). Be careful. Definitely not for professional use but for home use, recreational for kids, it’s great. Be sure to also re-adjust the auto-ball feeder at the proper angle for gravity, depending on how you have the main machine pointing (up for a pop flys or down for ground balls) — adjust and tighten ALL parts each time and there’s no rattling or anything that I read aboutin some other comments. Was a little worried at first based on some reviews, but if you put it together properly and use it properly (especially for the price compared to other really expensive ones) this thing is awesome for kids who use it for fun (and for parents who need a break from consistently being asked to go outside and throw balls all the time). $200 kid-sitter is worth the money 😂😂😂😂
Review: Great value pitching machine. - This machine works great for batting and fielding practice. Plenty of angle adjustment for pop flies. Definitely need to use the speed balls if you need higher speed pitches ball feeder works good but does sometimes struggle on the last ball since it has no weight behind it to push it into the rotating cam.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can regular hardballs be used in this machine?**
A: Yes they can! Just be aware that baseballs with high seams will vary in speed and accuracy because the wheel grabs the ball at a different spot each time. I like it because my son can get a game-like feel.

**Q: What is the difference between base hit and slider lite?**
A: The Basehit pitches fastballs, grounders, and pop flies using real baseballs and lite baseballs. The Slider pitches fastballs, curveballs, grounders, and pop flies using lite balls - not real baseballs. Both machines use 9" balls which are the size of regulation sized baseballs.

**Q: Cuál es el peso del equipo máquina bateo**
A: casi 16 libras

**Q: can i use real baseballs**
A: Yes, but balls with lower-profile seams will work best, because seams that stick out can affect accuracy. Heater does make leather baseballs with low-profile seams specifically for the Heater machines. But regular baseballs will work.

### ⭐ Malfunctioning! Motor did not work!
*by B***M on December 31, 2025*

Bought this item as a christmas gift, we opened it and put together as the directions stated. Turned it on and the motor did not work. Reached out to Amazon and was told to communicate with the seller, just for the seller to tell me they do not handle issues with buyers who buy from them off the Amazon website and to communicate with Amazon. We finally were able to ship the item back but we will not be purchasing another from this seller.
