PITCHING MACHINE PROWESS

Coaches and players have long recognized pitching machines as the quickest means of developing skill in the line of fire.  Kids have a natural fear of projectiles, and it robs them of confidence when they're up to bat.  Pitching machines instill confidence by simulating hits and pitches in a controlled, systematic manner.  If, for instance, line drives are the bogeyman, a pitching machine can belt out hundreds of them at a relatively slow speed until the player no longer flinches.

Pitching machines also improve team practice.  Batting drills are no longer hampered by a pitchers elbow or rotator cuff, and fielding drills aren't compromised by hitting inconsistencies.  Unlike humans, pitching machines can deliver on demand exactly what a hitter or fielder needs to improve his or her game.

I have been coaching and/or managing Little League Baseball teams... for the past four years. After using this machine every single day for the past week I can tell you that this is the single most helpful baseball training aid that I have ever used... I can pitch an entire bucket of 65 or more baseballs to each of my team members on a single charge.

We coach two different age groups... 10-12 year olds... and 14-16 year olds... We have used the machine almost on a daily basis between the two teams and having a machine that weighs less than 30 lbs makes it very easy to get from one practice field to another. The battery life is amazing... One of my first year ball players who had struggled at the beginning of the season even catching a fly ball made a catch of a fly ball look simple in his first game.....You have made the job of coaching youth baseball easier and more rewarding for me and my players.

I used the Zooka with my son for the first time yesterday. WOW! What a great experience.
