    Looks like I may be able to buy my school team a pitching machine this year. Just wondering what you guys recommend. I have used the Jugs machines but not sure about models or anything. Someone told me to get one with a solid wheel vs. the wheels that need air. Also had advice given to get a machine that uses real softballs as well as the machine balls. I know you can read advertisements and reviews I but just wanted some input from folks with personal experience. Thanks.

    "real" softballs dont last in pitching machines. They get shredded.
