Heater Sports Deuce 75 MPH Adjustable Baseball Pitching Machine with Automatic Ball Feeder - Delivers Fastballs & Curveballs, Suitable for All Ages | Compatible with Pitching Machine & Real Baseballs

Great product for personal and commercial use.

I've coupled a Westinghouse Igen2550 portable generator with this to run the 2 wheels and feeder. Bought a Timber Ridge 300 Wagon to move all from car to field. I've replaced the thumbscrews on legs with T-handle screws (5/16 - 18 coarse thread) and installed easily removable screws on the wheel covers to adjust/check air (installing rivnuts and wingbolts). Not practical to carry an allen wrench and too time consuming to remove the 6 screws. Machine states real baseballs are preferred, so I'm using raised seam Rawlings R-100P balls. Playing catch from 60 feet and this is popping in my glove at setting 7... I've learned settings to achieve knuckle balls and breaking pitches and there is lots of movement. Highly recommend you play catch with this machine before standing at the plate with it.. Seamed balls come fast and with movement like real pitches... After catching balls from the machine, I have a lot more confidence how variable the pitches can be. If you want dead straight balls, used dimpled balls. This is a big investment ($500 gen, $100 wagon, $Balls) but local cages are charging 20 cents/ball and I think I'll get my value over time with this very well build machine. 10.24.24 Update: Don't waste money with real balls. A few hundred dollars in baseballs chewed up.. Get the dimpled yellow balls.

Very nice product!!!!!

Returned. they recommend using their yellow seamless balls with the machine. like most we wanted to hit real baseballs, not rubber/plastic. The faster you put up the speed the more erratic this becomes. pitches can be 2' outside the strike zone in any direction. pitch 1 dirt ball, pitch 2 way outside, pitch 3 chin music... totally random pitch to pitch. and I was hand feeding so the seams were near the same every time. not sure it throws 75, because at full speed it was so unpredictable - almost hitting kids - it went back in the box. may work for you if you just want something for soft toss, as our trys for that were ok. also the gray tires left skid marks on the baseballs, so be aware of that also. good luck.

Nice people at Heater, I’ll give em that. Not a high quality product. Wheels are too soft, so they break down quickly. Overall quality of machine is low. Spend more and get a high quality machine. Also, the ball feeder is frustratingly small, should be minimum 20, but it’s 7.

I would have to say this is the best pitching machine I am very impressed at the quality of the Duce 75 we have put five 600 balls through it and it is dead on accurate with real baseballs. Totally impressed. Very happy with the purchase also is a very heavy and sturdy machine.

This machine for the money works great. My son spent hours in the batting cage enjoining this machine. Easy to set up and use.

This pitching machine has been good. Used it for about 9 months without much issue. Dialed all the way up, it seems to produce a decent fast ball up to high school speeds, though our cage is 40' long. The issue comes when there is an issue. The machine started to wobble very badly so i immediately checked the tire pressures again. One tire was totally out of pressure. Aired it back up, verified everything else was tight, reassembled the covers and back in business.... for a week. That wobble I guess did something to the bottom motor and it suddenly locked up and started throwing sparks. So time to start calling heater sports to look at getting a replacement part. Called the 800 number on the instructions and they had me leave a message for them to call me back to get it situated.. So far haven't heard from anyone at all. Went to their website and everything says to call the sales line. Tried emailing and calling multiple times, same story. Again, If I can get a replacement motor everything will work well. If something goes wrong with this machine, doesn't appear the company is very eager to help make it right.

Bought this machine for my son (12 years old). I wanted something that he can grow into since is says it pitches up to 75 MPH. I clocked it at 73 so that’s close enough for my liking. We have used it for a year and a half now and no problems at all. The ball feeder holds 10 balls and is timed for 10 second feed rate. It’s a must have since no one needs to be in the cage at the same time as the batter. Also used the pitching machine to throw pop flys, grounders, line drives, and break in new baseball gloves. Highly recommended if your a baseball player.

Works very well. A professional-style machine. Very heavy.

We were looking for a high qualify machine for our batting cage set up at home. It is easy to adjust, great auto feeder and speed. You will not be disappointed
