JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine Exactly As Described
5 Stars
JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine Exactly As Described
Works as advertised. Easy to assemble, add attachments, and disassemble. Love the pitching speed adjustments. The Yellow Lite-Flite Balls and White Poly-Balls both work perfectly with the correct ball adjustments. Just that the White Poly-Balls aren't as accurate or reliable being pitched at regulation distances or used for fielding drills on gusty windy days (works great on close distance pitched batting practice though). But the Yellow Lite-Flite balls works fine at the recommended regulation pitching distance and at the adjusted pitching speeds for my 9 year old grandson. Works great for his fielding drills (grounders, line drives, pop flys). Again, I just love the pitching speed adjustments. Works wonders on his base leads and stealing drills. Its accuracy in throwing out the base runner from home plate to any base using the fast ball pitching speeds and pitching/throwing height adjustments is unbelievable. Thank you!
