Louisville Slugger Ultimate Pitching Machine
Great product
I use the UPM45 for batting practice on a modified softball team and the entire team loves it. Its so easy to use and so much fun to hit from. The pitches are about 95% accurate and in the strike zone. Pitches move each time a little so it keeps you honest. Took me about 15 minutes to put together as they make it so simple with all screws, nuts, bolts, already in their place. Just need to unscrew, put part in and screw back in. Came with a screen which i was not expecting so a very pleasant surprise. Now my girlfriend can go the park with me and pitch to me and i don't have to worry about hitting it back up the middle and hurting her.
