🔥 Optimized Louisville Slugger Black Flame Pitching Machine for Enhanced Performance Review

I bought this for my daughter to help her hit. It works like a display and is easy to assemble and use. The only downside I see is the locking pin for the spring. I think it would be better if the pin went through the whole metal and not just on one side. This causes the spring to shift and sometimes almost break off. Overall a really good product and works well!

Great item. I wanted a budget car for my kids to work on their kicks. I'm still amazed at how well it works. The ball moves a little in the hitting zone, just enough to get the batsman thinking about his backswing, but consistent enough that you can hit some good, reliable reps in a short amount of time. I use soft pimpled balls most of the time, but if you switch to light flying balls you can really add some speed to the ball. Highly recommended.

As the coach of our women's softball team, I couldn't beat them as fast as the girls we met. This has taken our punching skills to the next level where girls can be confident. The machine changes slightly at each step, giving your dough practice in the real world. By change I mean it throws within a 16" x 16" square at a distance of 40 feet if all your balls are the same type and you load them consistently. Easy to use, my wife toggled the settings and used the machine to keep my son warm…

The Black Flame Auto saves hands. I have used it twice with my 11 year old son since receiving it last week. It's very accurate and helps my son to work on his swing without worrying about dodging a wild serve from his dad or another practicer. Sometimes it throws the balls up or down and I think it's how you load them in relation to the baseball's seams and also the smoothness of pulling the lever to release the baseball. It's not as big of a problem as an inside serve that can hit the…

I bought the latest model thinking it would fix all the bugs but I was wrong. When assembling the machine, two screws are placed in the top at the factory, which you must remove to install the top cover on it. One screw came out right and the other was over tightened and stripped off the threads trying to get it out. I can't even use the top because a screw won't come out. I consider myself quite skilled, and it wasn't me who turned that screw all the way. Bad design or the idea of even having…

I've used this hitting machine in several drills with my team and I'm very satisfied. It doesn't throw regular baseballs as hard as advertised (an average of 38 mph on max settings versus the advertised 50 mph). This is still very useful for youth baseball practice, but this is about the average speed kids will see in a game, although some kids throw harder. It also hits the hitting zone fairly accurately, with enough variation for the hitter to adjust their swing, with the occasional slingshot

An 82 year old male with a long history in baseball who is currently undergoing radiation therapy which should make you tired and a little weak. Well I needed something fun from my past and at a low cost to throw some flying balls at that old center player. The goal was to fight the effects of the radiation and lose a bit of balance. THIS REALLY WORKS. The balance problem is gone and catching balls again helps with post radiation therapy fatigue/weakness. My wife loves it (she actually pilots…

Failed to load media. I bought this for the 11u little league team. One of the assistant coaches has a blue flame, which I really liked. After doing some research I decided it would be useful to get black flames for a small speed boost. Pop flies were the first thing I experienced with black flames. He throws them nice, high and pretty low. Probably higher and lower than I usually met them in training. I couldn't find many videos on this so wasn't sure what to expect but it would be a great…

My six year old grandson plays baseball on the pitch and has trouble timing his swing. I was looking for a throwing machine that would throw the ball at about the same speed as the coach would normally throw. (An old shoulder injury prevents me from shooting consistently). In training he usually hits 12 to 15 shots, with this machine he can hit 20 to 25 quality shots and practice his swing at a relaxed and comfortable pace. His timing is improving and with the machine's precision, he's less…
