| The Personal Pitcher™ is the best
device available for developing hand-eye coordination and confidence in
hitters of all ages, from little league levels through high school, college
and the Pro’s. The use of the safe golf-ball sized Wiffleball® forces
the batter to “fine-tune” his swing and because of its portability (less
than 3lbs.) and battery power it can be used indoors or outdoors all year
round! “There is nothing better at any price,” is a common comment of HS
coaches and established players that have used it. “It works and we guarantee
it!,” says Chris Richard, Major League Baseball Player and partner with
his father in the business.
Use your regular game bat when practicing
with the Personal Pitcher™! That way you will enhance and maintain your
muscle memory and timing, in addition to developing bat speed and, very
importantly…the confidence to know that you will put the bat on the ball.
This is very important for young players. SPC also makes the HitMaster
Grobat, to improve hitting skills.
How fast does it throw?
The fastball mode is about 50 MPH,
but the distance the batter stands from the machine determines the “effective”
speed. From 18-20 ft the speed is equivalent to a 95+ MPH pitch from 60ft.
From 28-30 ft the speed is equivalent to a coach lobbing a ball into the
strike zone. The batter can move closer as his skills improve.
How accurate is it?
Indoors every pitch is in the strike
zone. Wind can effect the accuracy when being used outdoors.
What does my warranty include?
Warranty includes all parts and labor
for 2 years. Most mechanical problems can be fixed over the phone, and
replacement parts are available.
Is this machine advanced enough
for a Varsity High School Player?
Absolutely! Players at all levels,
including Major Leaguers, use the Personal Pitcher to maintain their swing.
Even Chris Richard still uses it to keep his swing in the off season!
How far do the balls travel after
being hit?
It depends on the level of the hitter.
The best hitters will be able to hit it about 90-100ft. Most hitters will
hit them 40-60 ft.
What kind of balls do you use?
How long will they last? Can I use the golf ball sized balls that I already
have?
We provide 24 or 48 balls with your
purchase. They are the best quality and should last well over 1 year. Most
golf ball sized poly balls will work (however some might not work).
How do I recharge the battery?
How long does it take to charge the battery? Can I over charge it?
Simply plug the machine into the
wall with the battery properly installed and it will recharge itself. It
takes about 1 hour for each hour of use. After about 4-5hrs of charging
the battery unplug it from the wall. It should not lose capacity for many
years.
How heavy is the Personal Pitcher?
A fully loaded box (w/ 4 dozen balls,
tripod and battery) weighs approx. 9 lbs. |
