    I'm not sure if you've used pitching machines before, but they aren't a whole lot of 'fun', until you get used to them! I still dont like them. Can't gauge when they're gonna fire at all like you can with a real arm so always end up late and grounding the balls to the right.
    I cant imagine the guys are gonna set all the stuff up just for you to have a few swings.

    Ah fair enough i didnt realise. I never did use these machines but seen americans on tv use them and it looks as fun as playing bowling so just chanced asking.

    Actually maybe its not so bad if you turn it down to 40-50mph. I've only used them at 70+ where ideally you've started your swing by the time its comin at ya.
