Lite-Flite Baseball and Softball Machine by JUGS Review

Works as advertised. Easy to assemble, add accessories and disassemble. I like the cruise control. The yellow Lite Flite balls and white Poly balls work great when the ball is set up correctly. It's just that the white poly balls aren't as accurate and reliable when used for field practice at regulated intervals or on gusty, windy days (but they work great for close-quarters practice). But the yellow Lite Flite balls work great at the recommended serve distance and adjusted serve speed for my 9

I love this product. We use the second year and have no problems with it. However, for a strong and accurate throw, it is necessary to use slightly flying balls. That's the only downside to this item, but it's a lot cheaper than machines that throw real baseballs and softballs - half the price, in fact.

The construction is strong with no corners cut off - this thing will last for years to come! The engine is powerful…

Ordered this for my 8 year old AAA player who wanted to work on both hitting and playing. He's primarily a catcher, so he wanted to practice catching and blocking as well. It was exactly what he wanted. He and I did diligent research and compiled feature lists for many different models. We both agreed that this car seemed too cool, and we weren't wrong. He is in love with his pitching machine and was able to build it himself. It's light enough to carry to and from our garage, and it was easy to
