Our 12u team is thinking of picking up a pitching machine and are looking at the zooka.
Our batting practice currently consists of a lot of tee work, front toss, coach pitch and even live pitch. But we would like to add a good portable pitching machine to the mix. We don't have outlets at the two fields we practice at.
Aside from pitching practice, we would also like to use it for flyball training.
Our girls consistently struggle getting to the balls they have to go back for and to make the training more effective we would like to setup a station where we could give them fly balls with a consistent location so that the outfielder must go back for them and they are in a place possible to reach. Of course we would then also have them catch real fly balls off a bat, but we would like to work on the girls confidence as well.
Anyone work with the Zooka and have an opinion on how good it would be for these two purposes?
Thanks
