Spinball Wizard 2 Wheel Pitching Machine

Full Control Over Every Pitch with the Spinball Wizard 2

A thrown ball curves in the direction of its spin. The faster the spin, the more it curves. Fastballs have backspin, which causes them to rise or at least fall slower than they otherwise would. Sinkers and curves have topspin, causing them to drop. Knuckleballs ideally have no spin at all and move randomly. By adjusting the wheel speeds and the angle of the machine, the machine can be set to spin the ball in any direction to simulate virtually any pitch.

True Pitching Machine Value

The Spinball Wizard two-wheel pitching machine is designed to throw more strikes for less money than any other machine. The quality is still there – the same wheels and motors as on the top-end Rawlings machines – but kept the machine simple to keep the price down. This is a machine built for batting practice. While it can be used to throw grounders and fly balls, it can’t be rotated around quickly to distribute them to the entire field. For that, you’ll need the Rawlings 2-wheel machine.

Baseball Softball Combo Pitching Machine 

With interchangeable legs and different feeder tubes, the Spinball Wizard can be easily switched from baseball to softball.  Different leg sizes for realistic release points are available for both sports; 24″ for softball and 50″ for standard baseball. Purchase the ARP version for the ability to adjust the pitch release point. Switching the Spinball Wizard from baseball to softball (and vice versa) takes only 10 minutes, while other machines can take up to 30 minutes.

Three Sports with One Pitching Machine

These machines can be used for baseball, softball, or cricket. The only differences between the machines are the interchangeable legs and ball feeder tubes. Single use machines can easily be upgraded to combination machines later by purchasing the appropriate upgrade kit. Motors are mounted on slots to allow for major adjustments between baseball and softball use, as well as for minor corrections for wheel tread wear and ball hardness. Three optional leg heights provide realistic release points for each sport: 24″ for softball, 50″ for standard baseball, or 50-80″ for cricket or the ARP (adjustable release point).

Improved Pitching Machine Wheels

Spinball’s solid wheels feature a urethane tread that is a full 1″ thick for lower shock loads and almost instant speed recovery. Other pitching machines feature a 3/8″ thick profiled wheel tread, leading to a longer recovery time. As the speed increases, the unbalanced rubber tire expands, but the balance weights mounted on the steel wheel can’t move, so the wheels become unbalanced. They can also leak air and gloss over from use, reducing grip and, therefore, accuracy and speed.
