Franklin Sports Pop Rocket Baseball Hitting Training Aid

This has been just what our family needed to add to our outdoor play bag. Stores wonderfully, fun for all ages, great for learning hand eye coordination and get your littles ready for baseball. We have had kids from ages 2-65 play with this. So so fun to see your kiddos face when they start getting the hang of it and see how far they can hit it. Great purchase! Would be a great gift too! The price point is great!

This is a good little tool for young just beginning players. We also use it as a catching tool. We prop it up at an angle with pillows and he can catch balls by himself.

This toy was a hit. The kids loved it and played for hours

The working life span was short - however my grandson did enjoy playing with it for the 2 months it worked

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. It was a big hit but unfortunately my grandson managed to lose 3 of the balls. I contacted Franklin Sports as I was unable to find replacement balls, their customer service manager was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to make sure that I received a set of replacement balls.

Works really well! Arrived in great condition. The pitcher itself works excellent. Every 7 seconds a ball shoots up about 1/2 a foot in the air and it’s very easy to hit. All ages would love this. The bat it comes with is great for kids 1-13. Overall very good product very happy with it!

Hands down, the worst purchase I have ever made through Amazon. A really cheap product for as expensive as it is. I thought, with the MLB logo on it, that it had to be decent. Wrong. We only used it a few times, over the course of a couple weeks, when the mechanism that pops the balls up stopped working. Forget about trying to make a repair yourself, since it's glued together, so attempting to fix it is impossible. On top of everything, it was too late to return it for a refund, which I guess is why I'm writing this review - catharsis. I'm no professional batting coach, but I am a dad and my suggestion is that if you have youngster you're trying to teach hoe to hit, save yourself the money and buy a cheap T-ball stand. Then move on to having your child try to throw the ball up themselves and try to hit it. Once they get their swing down, move on to one of the great pitching machines out there, like a Furlihong, that lobs the ball at them, AND only costs about twice this piece junk. If you're set on getting a pop-up pitching machine, get the cheap one that you push down manually one at a time, for which I naively thought this was an upgrade.

It's a fun toy, not really a hitting trainer. It's nearly impossible to find balls that fit it here -- standard seem to be "9 inch" and they used "8 inch" for this for some unknown reason, so you've got to scour the world if you lose any of the 5 balls that are included. It also doesn't stand up well on grass. You need a rock or a board to put underneath it, and even then, it tips over really easily. It's pretty cool also pretty cheesy.

Muy buen producto, excelente calidad

Started off great however now will not work have tried all different batteries surfaces etc hoping I can have someone reach out as the product is faulty it has always been kept inside and out of the weather really disappointing

Excelente producto como apoyo para desarrollar la habilidad oculo-manual

Buen juguete, fácil de usar y muy bueno para desarrollar habilidades psicomotoras de las niñas y niños.

Funciona bien es ligero. Lo que si les recomiendo es que compren más pelotas. Ya que cinco son pocas. Es emocionante jugar pero se agotan rápido las pelotas.
