Has anyone used the personal pitcher that throws wiffle golf balls and is it worth the purchase?

> I have 2 high school players and this is the best training tool we've purchased. We also have a Swing-Away which is fine but we are able to take batting practice in our basement. The kids get about 100 swings in about 20 minutes each day. Machine moves ball around and forces them to hit pitches at all locations. We set up about 20 feet away and actually use this in a finished basement area. We had the same problem with wind outside. Excellent tool!!!!


when my son has no one to throw to him or give him soft toss he used this machine....i think it's worth the expense....
