Product Description
Pitch for pitch and dollar for dollar, the Jugs Lite-Flite pitching machine is a terrific choice for up-and-coming hitters who want to hone their swings. The Lite-Flite isn't a big-league pitching machine, as it's designed to throw only Lite-Flite baseballs and 11- or 12-inch softballs or Jugs Bulldog baseballs and softballs. As a result, young hitters can learn how to hit sharp-breaking pitches without worrying about bruises or bone breaks. However, that doesn't mean the Lite-Flite won't prepare you for the bigs. The machine offers a full range of movement that adjusts for all types of pitches, including fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. In addition, you can adjust the swivel-design base casting 360 degrees to simulate fly balls, ground balls, and pop-ups--a must for fielders who want to practice defense in the backyard. And it doesn't matter which side of the plate you prefer, as the Lite-Flite throws both left- and right-handed pitches.
Other features include the Jugs' "always see the ball" delivery system; a quick-change design with exclusive Switch-and-Play knobs for adjusting the machine from baseball to softball in seconds; a portable design that fits snugly into two heavy-duty carrying bags; and a 1/8-horsepower, 1.3 amp motor. Designed to work both indoors and outdoors, the Lite-Flite weighs only 35 pounds and carries a one-year warranty.
Note: The Lite-Flite is compatible with the Jugs rechargeable battery pack (sold separately), a self-contained battery that runs your Lite-Flite machine for up to 3 hours of continuous use. Designed to recharge in only four hours, the battery pack comes complete with a 32-inch extension cord, a battery recharger, a nylon shoulder strap, and a heavy-duty nylon carrying case.
