Lightweight and portable, the SKLZ Lighting Bolt Pro Automatic Pitching Machine is the perfect training tool to help players improve contact at the plate. The pitching machine automatically pitches 26 soft practice balls at 30 mph every 5 seconds. Designed to be adjustable, the training aid can be positioned at different pitching locations to build hand-eye coordination. Through focusing on soft micro balls, batters will be forced to work on the visual processing, concentration, and hand-eye coordination that makes hitters great. The training aid holds up to 26 balls at a time and includes 12 Bolt Balls. The Lighting Bolt Pro is powered by an AC adaptor or 6 C batteries (batteries not included). By adding a Quick Stick bat, ballplayers of all levels will be challenged even more.

Customer Reviews
good for bunting which develops hand eye. Also good for fielding reflexes.
Great for weekends to help practice catching. Eliminates the need for constantly having to pitch myself or hit. Saves me the effort with smooth pitches and easy to load. Portable and easy to take to fields nearby!
Used this with my 8 year old son. Started off strong, and was pleasantly surprised. After re-feeding it, pitches were inconsistent. Sometimes they were at least around the strike zone, other times hit the ground, and sometimes wildly high. It’s a crapshoot on where the ball will go. This increased frustration for everyone! Including the 8 year old who has the attention span of a fly.
Old version was much better. This is flimsy and lightweight. Made for snack children.
The overall product quality is great! Personally I think it would have been better if it shot bigger denser balls, but it performs well. My kids on the ball team struggled with it though because of the ball size and material being a type of foamy material.
