Sling Pitcher Reviews?

[WillyT812]

Has anyone had any experience with the Sling Pitcher? I'm thinking about getting one and using it for indoor hitting practice using whiffle balls. I'm in Europe where 220v rules unless you have a transformer, not sure I want a noisy pitching machine indoors anyway. From watching the demos it looks like you can pinpoint balls inside, outside, high, how, etc.

You will not believe how good this is! Two of the families that I worked with in the past had one. They were close friends and after one family saw it in use, they bought one too. I saw it used for pop flies and it was sending the balls 200 feet. One plus is that you can use whatever balls you have laying around - and even mix them up.

That looks impressive. I have seen the handheld slingshot type, but to be able to sit down and chuck it in there. Now that's coaching.

Seems pricey for a sling shot and a seat. LOL

If you don't leave it sit outside, it should last for 2 generations. The families that I know that had them, had large families. The kids used it every day.
