Heater Pitching Machine

The Heater Pitching Machine is a very good option for your youth baseball players if you are looking for a affordable pitching machines. I have never owned a Heater Baseball Pitching Machine myself, but I have done some investigation online and read many reviews. Most people have been very happy with their purchase of one of the many heater baseball pitching machines.

Many of the people (all except one) spoke about how the Heater Machine did well throwing real baseballs and all said the dimple balls worked great. Here is one review:

"We bought the heater combo and couldn't be happier. It throws very accurate at various speeds. My 5 year daughter likes to swing using the lowest settings, and my 12 year old daughter uses it to practice swinging at 40 to 50mph 12 inch softballs. It is great for adults as well. Get the ball feeder, but make sure you purchase the correct size dimple balls. Some oversized 12inch balls sold on ebay will not work. Go with brand name dimple balls and you won't be disappointed.

One of the screws did not initially tighten easily on one of the legs (same issue as described by another rater), but I did not find this to be a big issue. We use the heater almost every day and the legs go in and out easily.

I did purchase a 2300W pramac honda generator to run the heater pitching machine, and have no issues with power shutdown issues. I am told it will run on much less wattage.

Update: The promac is loud, so I have since purchased a 700W power inverter, a spare car battery and a car battery charger. It is a nice, quiet and cheap alternative to purchasing a generator - spend less than $100 for the battery, inverter and charger combined."
