Pitching machines...Which one

[default]

Does anyone have any preference for a pitching machine. Ive looked into the Jugs, Atec and BATA?
I have a couple of opinions to not get a softball machine cuz its better for the girls to work on a smaller ball. Could use some help before purchasing

Not sure what dollar you are asking for??

I have the Atec hitting Streak for three years now. It uses the heavier "soft" balls that don't float. It shoots pretty fast about 51 mPH from 60' just move it closer for faster pitches. Used mainly inside, but can be outside as well. Only 200 bucks at D i c k s but well worth it in my mind. We just purchased about 18 balls to go with the three it goves you.

Have a heater softball machine. It throws dimpled balls fast enough to be a good workout for DD who is an 18U if set up about 35' from home. Its used about 2-3 times per week when the weather is good enough to hit outside in SW Ohio for 2 years so far. A good machine for the money.

We bought a Jugs Lite Flite with our tax return. Very happy with it. Pitches 11"/12" softballs and baseballs - choice of the lite flite balls or the plastic bulldog type balls. Great for indoors, we setup at 35' in the basement and bought some netting from Seattle Marine to contain things. Throws great curves. Got the external battery and took to practices a few times and worked great.

Hack Attack.. throws rise, drops, inside and outside curve balls... three motors, three wheels.. will throw regular softballs.... Expensive, heavy.. not to be hauled around often... but well worth the money.
