Furlihong 680PBH Pickleball Starter Kit, Including Launch Machine, Ball Recycling Net, Pickleball Paddle, 3 x Pickleballs and Carrying Bag

I recently purchased the Pickleball Machine with Recycling Net, Oscillation, Adjustable Launch Angle, and Adjustable Launch Interval and I couldn't be happier! This machine has exceeded my expectations and has greatly improved my pickleball game. The recycling net feature is a game-changer as it allows for continuous play without having to retrieve the ball each time. The oscillation feature adds an extra level of challenge and helps me practice my shots in different areas of the court. The adjustable launch angle and interval allow for customization to my specific needs and level of play. The machine is also incredibly easy to use, with simple controls for adjusting the speed, spin, and trajectory of the balls. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to move and store, but still feels sturdy and well-constructed. Everyone knows that to improve in any racket ball sports, you need to practice, practice, practice and practice some more, the more repetitions the better whether you play tennis, ping pong, or badminton. This machine allows you to practice your dink shots, drop shots, drive shots and most importantly the off-the-bounce shots. The 2 cons for this machine that I can see: 1. the distance of ball travels, it's about 7- 8 ft. I wish it would have a bit farther distance. 2. I wish it has the remote control to start/stop the machine Overall, I would highly recommend this Pickleball Machine to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills. It has truly elevated my game and provided me with hours of enjoyable, challenging practice. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate to make the investment - you won't regret it!

First, having the net to into is great. That is very helpful to get lots of reps in. But, this ball machine is very weak and doesn't throw the balls more than like 5-6ft and the vibration of the ball launch mechanism causes the machine to move little by little so after about 7 balls the machine is throwing at a different angle and you have to move it back (the movement is a little less on carpet and more pronounced on hard surfaces). Even though the machine is weak, it is still very helpful to practice roll volleys, dinks, punches and, if you get low enough, some overhead smashes indoors. It's not useful on an actual pickleball court because it's not strong enough. Basically it's only good for standing in front of the machine and practices your form.

Recommend. Beginner wife loves it for practice. As others say, it is meant more for indoor practice as it launches the ball not very far…a design necessary to always hit into the net. Will give enough distance for a good floor bounce. I fixed net and launcher misalignment (caused by vibration movement of launcher as it rotates and launches the ball). Used 4 red paver bricks from Lowe’s ($0.68 each, 2 inches high) around base, and another two at back of net. Also used thin carpet over concrete. See photo. Also found using wood clothes pins to decrease looseness of net so ball don’t get stuck in slack areas helps. This keeps the system aligned for endless play. 2” high or less bricks so base can rotate. Can control launch base angle, time between each ball launch, rotation on/off and force of hit. Fun product.

Actually pretty good for the price. The paddle is trash, ball is whatever and the machine serves are a bit weak to simulate a good serve. But this is perfect for dinks, speed up and drives. I practice at home daily to prepare for my weekend games. I think this is worth the price if you have your own paddle and balls. Setup is simple, didn’t look at the menu at all.

BUYER BEWARE - I purchased this and the launch machine stopped working entirely within 5 weeks. Furlihong customer service preferred to communicate outside of Amazon and promised to refund my purchase since they did not have any more in stock. I never received a refund and their customer service rep has stopped all communication both on email and thru Amazon. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Although the unit moves a little bit from vibration after each throw, it is a quality machine. I put a 10 pound weight in front of the unit so it will not move. Set up is easy. Works as expected. Good size net. As predicted the paddle isn’t great but that’s expected. Very happy with the entire unit. #ValentiPickleBall

This pickleball machine is a great deal for the price — probably one of the best low-cost options out there. It’s solidly built and works reliably for basic practice sessions. However, it has some major limitations that make it hard to use for more advanced drills. The biggest issue is the way it shoots the balls: they come out with very strong topspin, and there’s no option to adjust or customize the spin settings. Because of that, it’s tough to simulate realistic drives, volleys, or defensive shots. The overall ball speed is also on the low side, which further limits the types of drills you can run. That said, it’s actually perfect for dinking practice and working on soft touch shots close to the net. If that’s your main goal, you’ll get great value. But if you’re looking for a versatile training machine for all-around play, you might outgrow this one quickly.

Great product. It’s been helping my pickleball skill to improve noticeably fast. Easy to set up and use. Making drilling fun!
