Review on Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine: Advanced Training Equipment for Exceptional Performance by Bim Cook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best Sport Buy I've Ever Made

We've got nets, targets, tools and everything you need for off-season training. This is by far the best purchase I've ever made. In an hour we can do more repetitions than he usually does in training. We've used him in the ball cage and also on the practice pitch, I've picked up the speed and he's hitting the ball faster than any other boy that pitched last season. The machine doesn't have perfect accuracy, so they still have to watch and judge the ball. The only thing I doubt is the speed, but I don't have radar to check accuracy. Additionally, you can set it up to throw low slams into the outfield and grounders that move very quickly. The entire car rotates, giving you some side-to-side range when practicing in the field (you can switch between third and second base from home). If you're trying to scatter balls all over the field for team practice, you'll need to mount it differently or use a racquet. If you want to practice high jumps in the infield or outfield, you must use a racquet as well. Also, I noticed, but can't see a feature anywhere, that the bolt that attaches the vertical part to the cross brace is long enough to twist out the cross part and rotate it parallel to the vertical part to keep it flat. the back of my truck with no loose parts.
