Home made slow-pitch softball pitching machine - trial in the garden

It's very inconsistent (like my pitching) but it works, the feeder pushes a ball through with the right delay between pitches, the length is pretty good but it's just not consistent enough with the direction. May have to rethink things a little!

Can you make a diy video? How you built it? Materials?

[@JonPrevost]

Looks really good and easy to build. To increase the accuracy you might want to invest in a convex wheel or try deflating the tire more.

What motor did you used for ball feeder?

[@gregk9805]

What did you use to time the balls.

[@dmorris4873]

I just guessed. the diameter of the feeding wheel determines that. it worked out ok for timing i suppose.

How’s you attach the tire to the shaft

[@dmorris4873]

Hey, I bolted a circular plate to the tire hub, the shaft had a hub already fixed onto it so then I bolted the plate to that hub. seemed to hold up ok
