Lightning Bolt Mini ball machine

Does anyone have experience with this machine? Its throws small golf ball sized balls. It looks like it would fit nicely in my pole barn.

My own kids wore one of these out about 10 years ago.

I use the jugs Toss Machine, myself. It is better for outside, and it holds a charge for a couple of hours.

I looked at the online reviews and it seems from the one I saw at the store, they have addressed some of the concerns. The balls are fed via a tube instead of a bin, so there is no blockage. And an AC adaptor is now included.

I like the idea of the little ball, I have been throwing my girl golf ball sized wiffle balls the past few winters. But like everything else, as she gets stronger, I get more dinged up. Took one of those little things off my nose and it actually cut me. And as she gets bigger and faster I tend to be more concerned with the ball and I can't watch her swing. If I were to buy this sort of machine it would be for the basement or the barn. So no wind issues.

We use the Juggs small ball pitching machine it pitches the golf ball size "foam" balls. It has been working great for us. It simulates 75 MPH from 20 feet away.
