Furlihong680PBH Pickleball Starter Kit, Including Launch Machine, Ball Recycling Net, Pickleball Paddle, 3 x Pickleballs and Carrying Bag

Recommend. Beginner wife loves it for practice. As others say, it is meant more for indoor practice as it launches the ball not very far…a design necessary to always hit into the net. Will give enough distance for a good floor bounce. I fixed net and launcher misalignment (caused by vibration movement of launcher as it rotates and launches the ball). Used 4 red paver bricks from Lowe’s ($0.68 each, 2 inches high) around base, and another two at back of net. Also used thin carpet over concrete. See photo. Also found using wood clothes pins to decrease looseness of net so ball don’t get stuck in slack areas helps. This keeps the system aligned for endless play. 2” high or less bricks so base can rotate. Can control launch base angle, time between each ball launch, rotation on/off and force of hit. Fun product.

First, having the net to into is great. That is very helpful to get lots of reps in. But, this ball machine is very weak and doesn't throw the balls more than like 5-6ft and the vibration of the ball launch mechanism causes the machine to move little by little so after about 7 balls the machine is throwing at a different angle and you have to move it back (the movement is a little less on carpet and more pronounced on hard surfaces).Even though the machine is weak, it is still very helpful to practice roll volleys, dinks, punches and, if you get low enough, some overhead smashes indoors. It's not useful on an actual pickleball court because it's not strong enough. Basically it's only good for standing in front of the machine and practices your form.

The media could not be loaded. It does not have much power to throw pickleball far. But I can still use it to improve Dinks and serve. I added a remote control to switch it on and off, so I can collect all the balls on ground.

I keep it indoors because it's more convenient. I take a break during my day trading and hit balls to de-stress. Or if I'm losing money I whack the balls to get my frustration out. Works wonders.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Pickleball Machine with Recycling Net, Oscillation, Adjustable Launch Angle, and Adjustable Launch Interval and I couldn't be happier! This machine has exceeded my expectations and has greatly improved my pickleball game.The recycling net feature is a game-changer as it allows for continuous play without having to retrieve the ball each time. The oscillation feature adds an extra level of challenge and helps me practice my shots in different areas of the court. The adjustable launch angle and interval allow for customization to my specific needs and level of play.The machine is also incredibly easy to use, with simple controls for adjusting the speed, spin, and trajectory of the balls. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to move and store, but still feels sturdy and well-constructed.Everyone knows that to improve in any racket ball sports, you need to practice, practice, practice and practice some more, the more repetitions the better whether you play tennis, ping pong, or badminton. This machine allows you to practice your dink shots, drop shots, drive shots and most importantly the off-the-bounce shots.The 2 cons for this machine that I can see: 1. the distance of ball travels, it's about 7- 8 ft. I wish it would have a bit farther distance. 2. I wish it has the remote control to start/stop the machineOverall, I would highly recommend this Pickleball Machine to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills. It has truly elevated my game and provided me with hours of enjoyable, challenging practice. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate to make the investment - you won't regret it!

The machine has 4 setting for speed and a rotating base. On highest speed it will barely shoot out but it is better than tossing balls up by yourself. (Updated review: purchased this machine on Dec.31,2024 and the reason I am updated my review is due to the machine failing only after 43 days! I knew it would not last forever at that price. But, 13 days after return policy ended is ridiculous. Last night the machine starting making a weird noise and slowed down to where it would only feed a ball every 30 seconds instead of 4-5 secs . Also, I noticed it was getting slower in speed even on the highest setting 4. Not sure if I got a “LEMON” but now I see why Amazon listed as “Frequently returned” and was hoping the seller would replace or refund regardless of the 13 days out of return policy. Amazon should stop selling items that barely last over the return policy of 30 days, RIDICULOUS!!!!!

If you insist on buying this be forewarned of the following aggravating design issues... First the ball feeder built into the net does not allow the machine to be placed correctly underneath. It is centered and should be at least 2-3" forward. The result is you can only put 6-7 balls in the feeder at a time. Wouldn't be a big deal except the for the biggest design issue. The machine itself is not heavy enough to compensate for the launch levers impact. The machine WILL walk forward a little with each launch. The result is that after just 12-15 launches the balls WILL fall on the floor and you have to reposition the machine while its launching balls at you. HUGE waste of time and should not be sold at all until the item performs correctly.
