How does the ZS720 differ from the ZS740?
The ZS720 has been optimized for younger players and a few features have been changed to reduce cost. The ZS740 has greater speed and range for older players and can throw changeups.

The ZS720 is slightly smaller and comes standard with a shorter tripod. We recommend short tripods for younger players. The lower pitch release height is similar to an under-handed pitch and results in a flatter ball trajectory which is easier for young players to hit. A full panning tall tripod may be selected at the time of purchase if desired. It may also be ordered later as the kids grow up.
