can u use metal bats? and real baseballs?

Great machine! Unfortunately uou have to use their balls ONLY! Metal bats work great!

Can you hit these with a plastic or foam bat? Is aluminum better?

Plastic bat would be better. This is definitely a beginner pitcher. More for todlers. The balls are soft. I bought this for my 5yo and he outgrew it in about 2 months. Does.not throw far or hard.

can wiffle balls be used?

Where are you finding cheap replacement balls? Replacement balls for this are $17 for two balls ($8.50 each!).

What is everyone using for replacement balls? The official ones are $9 each. Crazy to me.

Should be about 10.00 for two yes it is crazy
