what ball should be used for a swing speed of 85 mph?

Any 2 piece ball would be fine. If you find a 2 piece with a soft feel you're golden. My favorite is the Srixon Q-Star. If you don't swing fast enough to compress all 3-5 layers of a golf ball you're wasting your money on it.

It's good for drive smashes but not so much for very strong loops. The red side being slower with more spin and the black side being faster with less spin on softer shots, but about the same amount of spin on harder shots (thicker sponge possibly on black side, but I didn't measure). Hard to get enough spin on the very strong loops. I had to take off some speed from that type of shot to get the ball to arc enough to consistently stay on the table. I have a Donic Baum Esprit with Bluefire M2 now, and it's much easier to get the spin right and keep the power on the shot.

I've never gunned it, but my guess would be about 70mph. I recently had high school boys trying to hit softballs and there was no complaint about it being to slow. You have to make sure the ball "cup" is tight enough to the wheel to get that "thwunk" sound and you'll get pretty good velocity. This is a great machine for the price and works really well for fly balls also.

The ball is like a heavy wiffle ball. It would not bounce well on grass. Unless you live in the desert, a yard will be too soft. We play in the street by our house.

The very first ball I ever owned was an old Columbia 300. That was nearly fifty years age. If you through a relatively straight ball, not a big hook, this ball should be fine. As with any ball, having it drilled properly is critical. Good lunch.

My swing is only around 90 mph, if I miss the Callaway target nothing exciting happens. I don't think it would be a good idea to depend soley on the net. The more expensive nets have bigger, better target material to stop the ball before it gets to the net material.

When using the slow speed setting the ball falls way short. Fast speed work much better (can't tell you exactly but hitting the balls will be a challenge even for grown ups. It is really meant for ages 5 and up. Not great accuracy or consistency but you can make it work.

It kind of depends on how aggressively you plan on swinging. I would suggest a minimum of 2' should be sufficient, but 3' would be more than enough.

my information is that it is a softer ball, more of a rubber center ... that it is better for me, an 85 year old golfer with a slower swing speed (72mph)

My 9 yr old loves it for fielding, mostly in our hall INDOORS. As for batting, it is only good at close range in light wind. I do recommend this product for ages 7-12. It has 3 speed settings that range from soft toss to maybe 45 mph at close range. Great motor for the price. If you want to spend $$$, players and coaches rave about the Sklz hurricane 4 for batting.

It says 50 mph. It is fast enough depending on what you use it for: fielding (great), flyballs (great), pitching mound (good- you need a lot of balls)

Shaft flex is uniflex, between regular and stiff. Does not take away 20 yards, completely untrue. It all depends on your swing speed.

Yea low compression, I don't see where it would be a bad ball for a slower swing speed such as a women, they play a lot like the Bridgestone e6

My husband only uses regular golf balls so I am not sure about that, but knowing that this device helps your swing, I would suppose the plastic golf balls would be fine since your swing would be the same wether or not you used regular or plastic balls. Hope this helps! I just know that the product has helped my husband a lot.

With a ball like this the beauty is in the detail. With the price your paying trust me you don't o want to spoil the fabrics upon a first outdoor game. Rubber basketballs are best for outdoors. Leather like this should be worshiped are kept for indoors play only.

DOH, just do Amazon search for; dog ball thrower So many to pick from, manual or electric, 8$ chuckit looks good enough, check the reviews. You could even try a potato gun type with the tennis ball adaptor, like the 1/4 Mile Potato Gun if the game was on TV.
