Can it use real baseballs?

Sorry but no, I was concerned about this myself, but my grandsons both love it with the balls that come with it!

No, only the balls that come with the machine or extras bought on Amazon. We've tried other ones and nothing works except these.

Yes this net is made for real balls. I always use real balls and have no issues at all.

These are regular size baseballs just not balls that are used for official game ball, more like practice balls

If you mean will it throw baseballs, definitely not. It will only throw light weight balls.

The balls that are made for the machine are lighter so if you tried real baseballs I don't think they'd go very far.

Doubt it. This is a child sized toy. The balls would not pop up high enough for you to hit effectively

From the discriptions by others it's not designed for real balls, however one fella strengthened his with a few yards of stonger netting. If you never miss the baffle with real balls, shouldn't be a problem.

Hi. No a tennis ball will not fit. This machine is specifically designed for small (ping pong size) balls. It is excellent with helping hand/eye coordination. If you can master hitting with this machine it will greatly improve with hitting a regular baseball.

No, it can not shoot real ArowsIt is a toy.Looks real and is well made but does not have a lot of power

Since the radar is fixed and the ball is the variable, I would say no, as the ball measurement is more consistently taken when the ball is more accurately fielded and thrown. I don't know how you duplicate that with a bat without damaging the device

Yes you can but you may have to use a small piece of double sided tape. The ball stayed in the glove without it at first but occasionally it would fall out so I used the small piece of tape and it hasn't moved since. It looks great, hope this helps!

Yes. I bought this and used the top tier for a giant baseball. Worked great!

It came with little balls -light weight that fit into the machine - they are not normal baseball - I suspect that they are 'Mini' balls

If I were a softball player I would use this with a baseball. If you train using a smaller ball then hit a bigger ball during games it should be easier to be successful.

I don't think so. The tennis balls flex a little as they get picked up from bottom of cage. Baseballs don't have that flex. They're gonna bend the cage and then they will just fall out from bottom. If you use it just as a stand to hold baseballs. Then that would work fine.

A regular baseball bat is fine. This machine will help with hand/eye coordination. The balls are very small and it will help them perfect their hitting.

I haven't used softballs, but I would think you could. I do use real baseballs, if that helps any.
