This is a very good machine for the price. I didn't receive the hardware for the tri-pod that comes with the machine but I had someone very handy rig it up to my very sturdy metal tri-pod. This may have made it even better because the tri-pod that comes with machine is plastic. We've used the machine only a few times so far. If the grass is wet (balls get wet)it does slow the pitch way down. This machine does need to be plugged in and we don't have a large enough yard for how far the balls go..we used a 750w power inverter (bought at walmart battery isle)and 12gauge extention cord. This allows us to go to the park and plug it in to my cig. lighter. Compared to the others around this price...this is the one to go with.

i am please witht he performance of this machine. i was affraid i was being to cheap and for a 100 bucks I was going to get a machine that was junk. The only thing they need to improve on are the plastic wobbely legs. come on guys you know these suck! belongs on a weaker machine by far. All in all this WILL do the job. Dont hesitate for your ball players in the family. Good for ages 8 to 88 I would say.
