abadrs 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 Hey just wanted to let you all know I recently bought a Casey 2 pitching machine. I have to say its a pretty good machine. It does throw close to 60 mph, about 57 actual. I did notice that the next model up the AXIS will throw up to 70 mph. I also noticed they both have the the same motor so I knew the Casey 2 had to be restricted somehow. I first contacted ATEC to ask if there was an option to pick up a little more speed for future use, of course they said no but I could buy the AXIS model for about 500.00 more. I'm a parent not a MLB coach. I located the variable resistor on the circuit board and turned it counter-clockwise. Presto 70-mph pitches. I don't really need that pitch speed now but it will come in handy in a few years. The only thing I don't care for is the ground ball use. The machine puts a back spin on the ball so when you shoot the infield (If its dirt) it kicks dirt up pretty bad and the ball stops pretty quick. But I guess thats to be expected on any single wheel machine. This is just FYI in case anyone was considering purchasing this machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at one in Dick's sporting goods and it just seemed it was a little cheaper built...but its cheaper in price than the Casey. If you can find a Casey 2 at a good price I would recommend it highly. After using it on my 11-12 year old team I can defenitly tell a big difference in there hitting skill.
