Awesome!! Hey I was thinking you should use those adjustable sliding poles on each side the ones that have the button you push in to raise up or down. That would definitely help with accuracy and things. Cheers
The only problem with the machine is the feeder. Everything else is awesome. But that feeder is snagging the ball. That's why it's not accurate. Just move the feeder so the ball hits the top of the wheel. If you are looking at the wheel like a clock, the ball is hitting around 10. You want it to hit near 12 or just a little bit before. Plus the ball doesn't need that much metal to travel along. It only needs about 1/3 of that. But otherwise, this is a nice machine. I'm guessing it's top speed is around 70 or 80. If you said in the video, I missed it. But you could make and sell it. Regular machines are in the thousands now.
Going to build something like that to my dog, but a bit more advanced/automatic and quiet type! Whats the rpm on the motor you used? Liked the simple principle of your machine!
i agree with flyindwarfman, this seems better for infield practice. it you make some adjustments, which you probably will, you will get it right. great job.
I guess you could do that if you had the money and no ambition to try and do something for yourself.. from what I am seeing, someone is trying to do something on a budget and be a little creative in the process. I support that. We need more skilled tradesmen who are willing to learn something new.
Hey there, You know I was quite surprised myself on how accurate it shot ball's too My first attempt when I was compressing the ball's through the shot I was measuring 60 -63 meter's so the balls were landing very close to each other. Cheers
I have to agree. It's pretty cool to build something like that yourself, but... maybe it's better to use it for fielding practice... Who knows if/ when you make adjustments to improve it, though.
i wouldn't consider this accurate but its great for a homemade device, I hope you keep at it. Add another tire above the one and stabilize the balls flightpath.
The most accurate pitching machine in the world can only guarantee a strike 99/100 times, it can't even locate a corner. Making these things accurate requires university level work.
the tire must be without shapes in oder to get more control of the pitch.. and actually there are special machine baseballs cuz the normal baseball's threads can make the machine throw without control... so in short: a very old tire without shapes and special baseball (without shapes) for machine use
Dan Ryan You do realize a real pitcher isn’t perfectly accurate either. I’m sure they can tweak it a bit and get it to where it needs to be. If you are afraid of that quit baseball because unless you’re 10 all pitchers exceed 40mph and honestly how bad do you think that would hurt?
I applaud your effort, I know I wouldn't be able to be better. It would be a great fielding machine for someone learning the to field or pre game warm-up. It's extremely creative. Did you build something else I can look at?
OMG, Dude, I'm dying laughing here, I swear the Three Stooges could have used that prop, three balls hit the ground, one sailed over the fence, one hit the top of the fence, and the other would have sprayed a hitter. I can see a Little League'r parents suing the coach for using that. With that said, I think you're a heck of great guy for trying. Someone to create such a thing has got to be a heck of a guy. I'm telling you, I enjoyed the video and I'm saving this for sports my staff tomorrow.
Using that, you'd spend more money on Baseballs than just buying an actual pitcher. Not only can you see the balls hide on the wheel you hear it skinning the hide.
It looks like a good option for the youth baseball organizations in Cuba.
His opening sentence is about somebody not knowing shit. I'm in!
Last pitch killed a squirrel
Love the shredding “screee” sound with accompanying puff of smoke. Those balls aren’t going to last too long
I think it's good it's a little wild, in a baseball game, the pitcher won't pitch at the exact same place, they might even peg you.
that thing looks like a deadly injury waiting to happen
Man this thread is savage. I want to see you scrubs build something like this xD
It's really inconsistent in aiming, and it makes a weird sound, but other than that, great job dude!
Awesome!! Hey I was thinking you should use those adjustable sliding poles on each side the ones that have the button you push in to raise up or down. That would definitely help with accuracy and things. Cheers
I love how accurate....and quiet it is.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?????? 😄
I was thinking how dangerous, but I couldn't hear
Looks good for training infield but not batting
deadly dangerous but good, and funny.
That thing is wild as hell theres no way i would step up to bat that lol
2:40
"Pretty accurate."
Is this guy watching the same thing we are?
I know right
Within about 10 feet I think. Neat project, needs some guards and something to fine tune the accuracy. Keep working on it.
Balls are all over the place!

If you could add a second powered tire and be able to control all kinds of possible spins, then you've build yourself a beast.
Just like lightning! Never hits this same place twice 😂
Scary, but props on the initiative.
Going to build something like that to my dog, but a bit more advanced/automatic and quiet type!

i agree with flyindwarfman, this seems better for infield practice. it you make some adjustments, which you probably will, you will get it right. great job.
lower the tire pressure to get it to grab the ball better and then spring load the upper track to hold it better and that would do well.
DillysADV or get a new machine

Wow congratulations, can you tell me specifications of your motor please.

"Pretty accurate " hahahahahahah
The "Nuke" LaLoosh pitching machine.
one of my favorite movies of aall time
Good job mate!!!
This is true to the method of building one, however the tire wheel is a flaw you need a concave. Perhaps a rim.
i wouldn't consider this accurate but its great for a homemade device, I hope you keep at it. Add another tire above the one and stabilize the balls flightpath.
I think anything related to golf and if successful, would be a good way to get into the retail market.
great job it looks fun to use.
i think the angle should be up.. theres not an strike ball comming off.. but it wel be an great training for pop fly in and outfield drills!!!
Cool! Is it possible I can have the plans for how you made this? Or was this all in your head?
Good on ya mate good invention
Pretty cool but it’s not consistent, good job tho 👍🏼 how much did that cost to make? Just an estimate?
It's not accurate but better than I could do so good job, keep working on it.👍

Great job! But the accuracy needs tuning
Great! What kind of motor have you used?
Hey cheers there are adjustments on the machine I me & the crew just wanted to see it work.
Cheers
the tire must be without shapes in oder to get more control of the pitch.. and actually there are special machine baseballs cuz the normal baseball's threads can make the machine throw without control... so in short: a very old tire without shapes and special baseball (without shapes) for machine use
great job
Great work dude, fucking awsome, but scary as fuck for anyone with a mullet
A little more safety-conscious and the device would be very good for young people
What in the world!!!? Yeah okay! Now let's load it up, carry it to the baseball field and see how many kids we can send to the ER.
Needs a square surface tire rather than a rounded one. Would pitch more consistent with a flat tread tire.... Scary as hell though lol
"pretty accurate" !?!?!
not even close
how do you connect the belt to the axel to make thewheel spin
Would love to bat in front of that considering it just threw a pattern about 12 foot wide. One of them hit the ground just past the concrete, lol.
Great machine until it gets a shirt, jacket, or finger caught in it. It's a safety nightmare.
what is the RPM of the motor or engine u have used?
WTF...
Everything was a rainbow to a different continent. Id be afraid of getting in the cage with that POS if it could exceed 40 MPH

where did you get the motor

what is the hp of the motor?
fucking awesome bro!
What are the motor details?
Danger. Need a guard on the pullys and belt. Injury potential of this is horrific.
Hey, who's Matthew Hills?
Great.
What coach, I cant hear you! Cough cough
It’s called a strike zone...Not a zip code
Pretty accurate my ass
No not yet I'm waiting for anyone who, would like something created that cant quite work it out do you have anything in mind?
Cheers
imagine trying to hit off that thing... ball is like, never in the strike zone
Using that, you'd spend more money on Baseballs than just buying an actual pitcher. Not only can you see the balls hide on the wheel you hear it skinning the hide.
can it go 95 mph?
Wat pitch was that
Hey I've just put a 6hp Honda horizontal drive in that chopper. The original motor was doomed!!!!
Good yap😮
Super cool. Although I'm not taking bp on it with that god awful sound
Now design an auto feeder and remote control and it will be perfect.
Add belt guide
Watch this video a second time, it gets funnier.
I'll let you know for sure if something else come's up.
Cheers
I used a real one today. I held my lax stick right in front, cranked it to 10 and my bro put the ball in... I broke the head in 2 places! :(
Hey there yes I agree it's dangerous but it was only for my friend's & myself to see if I could build a machine out of house hold junk.
Cheers
Need two wheels possibly.
hack the rpm to go craazzyy high, then feed it rebar. :)
* kzzsthu! *
hahah the lest one. how would anyone possibly be able to hit that
mush u do not wanna get ur hand stuck in that !!!
Oye amigo y a cuántas millas lansa las pelotas
One word. Getto.
More like a dodgeball machine.
i want that
not very accurate but like the effort
I like 2 have ur bike
Yeah very true, only problem with that.
Is that china is at the top of the class with golf rectifying solutions.
The struggle
Pretty accurate? Really? Are you serious? Oh well. Nothing is perfect, right?
there was no strike zone
The one at the end
LMAO! Is this supposed to be funny. Because i nearly pissed my pants.
One word. Dictionary.
this should be in FAIL BLOG
i hope this was joke
oh my god
Muy peligrosa
chur mean as g
Not my eye!!!!
