SKLZ Catipult for slow pitch
This is a good basic pitching machine for slow pitch. Construction appears to be holding up pretty well. I did not rate the quality high because the 4 d batteries did not have enough power to adequately power the machine, throws wiffle balls erratically, and height adjustment is inadequate to get a full acr pitch out of the machine. It did work well on the ac adapter or a 12 volt jumper box. A few cautions with this machine:
1. If you unscrew the tension knob too far it disengages with the spring shaft and it is extremely difficult to reattach for a person with normal size hands..
2. If using a battery jumper box BE SURE TO CONNECT BATTERY WITH CORRECT POLARITY. If it is reversed the machine jams up may require dis-assembly depending on where the machine jammed.
3. Best & most consistent balls to use with the machine are yellow foam baseballs from Sports Authority. They fly pretty consistent and you can get a decent arc.
