Grand Slam Pitching Machine Testimonials

"Thank you so much for my Grand Slam. Last year I used it basically everyday during the off-season to get ready for spring training. I did what you told me to do and I had a very successful season. The one thing that I am more proud of is the fact that I only struck out 17 times the whole season (Arizona Diamondbacks AAA team, Tucson Sidewinders). Putting the ball in play so much more than I am used to, helped me become a more productive hitter. I had an RBI for every 4.5 at bat. I am trying to make it back to the Majors and my Grand Slam is helping me realize that dream again."

Thank you again.

Your friend,

My wife and I would like to say thank-you by sending you a success story.

Our daughter Sara wasn't a superstar in high school. She played basketball and softball and was good enough to start for the varsity team in both sports all four years. She played catcher, outfield and third base for her HS softball team and had a decent glove. Her real strength was in the classroom, where she makes good grades thanks to hard study and at the plate on a softball field where she had a good swing thanks to the Grand Slam. She rarely struck out often made good contact and hit the ball hard. She hit over .400 in high school. During her senior year she had a number of college coaches come to watch her play. She was lucky enough to be offered scholarships from two colleges. She signed with West Florida University in Pensacola, Florida which offers excellent academic programs and an outstanding softball program coached by Tammie Cyr. Sara started 35 games her freshman year and hit .300. In her sophomore year the team won the Southeast Regional and made it to the Division II College Softball World Series in Columbus, GA. Out of more than 300 team's in Div II they finished fifth in the nation. In her senior year, Sara was selected Gulf South Conference Player of the Week when she batted .524 (11 for 21) with a home run, two doubles and four RBIs during a seven game span. The team's record during Sara's four years was 210-67.

I attribute much of Sara's success to your Grand Slam Pitching Machine. It provided quality practice and gave her the confidence she needed to hit a 65 MPH fastball from 43 feet. It also saved us the cost of 4 years of college books and tuition. We bought it eight years ago and Sara's younger brother Kyle is starting to use it now. I hope I can send you another success story in about 10 years. Thank-you for the time and effort of inventing this wonderful hitting tool and putting it on the market. It paid great financial dividends for us but more importantly, helped give us a wonderful set of memories watching Sara grow through sports.

Sincerely,

A little over two years ago, I bought a Grand Slam machine for my grandson Zach, on his third birthday. At the time, I wondered if he might be too young for it, but within minutes of setting it up my concerns were put to rest. He not only loved it, he was actually pretty darn good at it - on a slow setting he could routinely hit 3 or 4 out of every 10 pitches.

Now, two years later, Zach has just completed his first spring and summer of organized baseball, on a coach-pitch team of 5 & 6 yr. olds. He was the youngest player on the team, (having just turned 5 two days before the first practice) but he also turned out to be the team's most consistent hitter.

The benefits of his practice (he calls it playing) with the Grand Slam machine were obvious when watching him address the ball. His hand-eye coordination, concentration level, stance, and swing, all were simply outstanding. More importantly, his self-confidence couldn't have been better; when he stepped to the plate, he knew he was going to hit the ball.

Now, just in case you are thinking I might be a little biased here, I'll be the first to admit my grandson isn't perfect - in fact, he did actually strike out once this year.

I just wanted you to know how much we have enjoyed and appreciated your product. It has performed flawlessly and exceeded our expectations. In my book, the Grand Slam is an instant hit.

The Home Pitching Machine is an awesome invention. I was always a natural at defense but my hitting was never quite where I wanted it to be. I started using the Home Pitching Machine and was at first amazed at the speed that it generated and even more so at how the ball movement varied from pitch to pitch. It almost actually simulates live pitching. Within a week of using the machine I noticed that in game situations I was seeing the ball so much clearer as my concentration and eyesight were sharpening based on my having to consistently focus on the little balls. With continual use of the HPM, in addition to making a few technical adjustments in my hitting approach, I had begun to cream the ball and from one summer to the next, have raised my batting average at least 100 points. I am so confident at the plate now and have gone from batting 7, 8 & 9 in the order to batting 1 and 2. With my natural talent and speed, if I had this machine when I was 12 or 13 it would have definitely impacted my path in the sport. With the netting I was even able to use the machine when I was in an apartment. I think that this machine along with some good instruction will make a tremendous impact in anyone's hitting no matter what level they are at. I would also like to thank you for your kindness and patience each time I called for information or parts and service.

Kind regards,

I recently purchased your baseball-hitting machine, the "Grand Slam" and am very happy with your product. I used to play college baseball and still play competitively in a college level adult league. I shopped around for a product that wasn't as expensive as those $1,000 pitching machines and something that I could use comfortably indoors or in my backyard. I came across your product and another product very similar to yours in price and type (golf sized plastic balls to improve hand-eye coordination). Unfortunately, I chose the other product, and within a couple of weeks I simply tossed the machine. The machine began to malfunction within a few uses and even after I returned it, I still continued to experience problems. I then decided to give your product a try, and so far I love every swing. The design is so much better, yet so simple. It's a solid working machine. I would definitely recommend your machine to anyone looking to improve their hitting ability regardless of their age. Thanks Jim!
