The Personal Pitcher is a small battery
powered pitching machine that throws golf ball sized Wiffle balls. The
goal of this machine isn't to simulate live pitching, but rather to
improve hand-eye coordination and timing. The personal pitcher can
actually throw the wiffle balls at 55mph, but depending on the distance
the batter stands - the effective speed is closer to 95mph. Batters can
use regular bats or "stick bats" . The personal pitcher pro model throws
curveballs and sliders, and the entire package (balls, tripod and
machine) weighs only 9 pounds!
