FYI that several reviews say tennis balls do not work (yes, I'm here for my dog)

I bought this a while back and decided to return it. The distance is inconsistent and makes it nearly impossible for little kids to use.

Bought this for my 8 year old and was actually impressed on how well it worked. It's not perfect, but still highly recommend. Only about 50% of the balls go over the plate, but still teaches great eye hand coordination. He uses it in the garage because any breeze sends the light plastic balls off course. Not a huge price savings as it typically goes for just under $30

This has me having some vague image in my mind of using a wiffle ball machine when I was young, yet I don't think I had one. lol. Maybe I just saw one somewhere.

Chances of getting in trouble with the wife if I use this in the hallway?

I wanted to say "username checks out", but I can't even do so—bc I'm quite disappointed by such a lame comment (not even a lil bit funny/amusing).

You're a complete disgrace to the humorous trolls out there.

"Requires 6 D batteries". I wish they would have this as a dual power device with the option to add a transformer.

6x1.5v=9 volts so you could rig a 9v adapter to it, especially if you have one laying around.

I've done it with other things; cut off the adapter tip, strip the wire, tie it to +- terminals of battery compartment.

you can also try without any cutting; get two wires, insert one in the tip (+), tie other one around the outside (-), tape it... then connect to device.

edit: it uses 4 D batteries, not 6, so 6v adapter

These should make it quite a bit easier. A few moments with a soldering iron and some heat shrink tubing and you should be good to go.

I rigged mine directly to the house's 120v outlet and this thing throws rockets at 85 mph. My 5 year old is already attracting the attention of scouts at the Little League games from practicing with this. Highly recommend.

Good to go like Joe with the plug connectors? What exactly are you trying to do? Asking because I truly don't know and really curious
