The Furlihong 3802PBH Pickleball Machine is a great little inexpensive ball thrower! It doesn't have features like changing the time between shots, remote control, or a large capacity ball hopper but at only a tenth the price of a machine that does it can still help you with drills.Since you should let the machine come up to speed before adding balls I've made a little plastic 'spike' (see white piece in photo) that will hold the balls away from the release. This allows me to fill the hopper and start the machine 'empty'. Once it is up to speed I grab my racket and pull the 'spike'. Since there is only 4 seconds between balls you will miss the first ball but this gives me enough time to get ready for the remaining balls that are launching at ful power.At high speed setting It can toss balls with a reasonably fast pace. Distance is good so it can be setup to practice serves. For practice on returning hard drives I use my camera tripod to raise the machine up level top the top of the net and angle the machine so that it can throw straight ahead. Setup like this on the kitchen line gives you some pretty good practice. You can also use different spins to add some variety. Throwing from the various areas of the court while sitting directly on the ground also works fine after you adjust the throwing angle.Haven't had a lot of experience yet with the machine but I've found that the oscillater fires balls at too wide of a spread for me. I'm older and can't keep up with the side to side running! This mode may be good for singles players or for a double team.Support is also top notch. I had an issue with the included USB power connector and had two resolution options provided to me within 24 hours (partial refund or full refund for a replacement machine). I went with the replacement and the process was quick and seamless!Overall this is a great option for beginner to intermediate players that want to drill on various types of returns!
