    Personal Pitcher

    Personal Pitcher Golf Wiffle Ball Machine

    The Personal Pitcher is the most affordable and practical means to becoming a better hitter. Mounted on a standard camera tripod, the Personal Pitcher can be used inside or outside all year round! It holds up to 48 golf-sized wiffle balls and the small balls force the hitter to concentrate on seeing the ball. The Personal Pitcher even has a light that tells the hitter when the ball is about ready to be pitched, allowing the hitter to take his stride, something most pitching machines don't easily allow.

    The Hands Back Hitter creates the perfect sequence of hands back, soft balanced stride, and rotational swing to handle all pitches, especially curve balls and change-ups. It will eliminate late striding, swinging during your stride, lunging, and pulling balls foul. This device forces the batter to hit the ball deeper over the plate every time, making it easier to go opposite field to hit behind runners.

    The Hands Back is the perfect hitting station for all playing levels and it provides safe and effective practice, even in limited space. It can be used for hours of unsupervised practice in the backyard.
