Franklin Sports Mlb Power Pitcher Pitching Machine/Baseball Batting Trainer No. 14948 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just purchased one of these today for a gift. I read that it would be difficult to find extra balls that fit - and it was. None of the ones available have fit so far. So I tried tennis balls, and that worked just fine. The balls have to be just ever so slightly smaller than the average practice balls (you can't tell by looking side by side) and baseballs, so tennis balls fit that bill.
I also read that it eats batteries, and that the adaptor advertised is no longer available. So I came out with a pile of generic adjustable adaptors. I found that 300ma 6v was not strong enough to make the machine do anything but buzz. So I tried a 5v 1amp adaptor from an old zip drive, and that worked (after about the 3rd try. Not sure what the deal was the first 2 times). So if you have trouble finding an adaptor, try more amps. The machine doesn't say what the rating should be anywhere, it only says 6V - C + on the side.
I haven't tried it other than to shoot some balls across my living room, so we'll see how it holds up. Seems to be a good fit for a little kid.

Razor Pro Model Scooter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought an A2 for my wife, and because she didn't want to ride by herself--and I'm bigger and heavier--I bought this Razor Pro thinking it was simply made sturdier and nothing more. I also happen to be an avid cyclist of many years so I can really tell the differences.
Turns out there are huge differences between this Pro model and the others--to the point where I could say the others are toys and this is actually sports equipment/transportation.
*The stability in steering is much better on this one.
*The wheels are thicker, which I'm sure contributes to its ability to hold a line better--though I have to say the A2 is not bad either.
*It's faster, and since the ride is a lot more stable it's actually much safer to ride this going fast than the others.
*I believe this is actually made of a higher quality of aluminium.
*Overall it's made of a heavier construction more appropriate for those who are going to do more on it than go back and forth on the sidewalk.
Bottom Line: For the price difference here on Amazon (the A2 being about $40 and the Pro being roughly $50) it's worth it to spend the extra $10 on the Pro.
This isn't just a toy like the others. You can actually enjoy the ease and convenience of riding this thing to the store and back, or through the middle of an urban environment adding to both your enjoyment and convenience without having to lock it up outside when you enter a building--or being prohibited from entering a store like you would with Roller Blades without changing to shoes first.
And as a 5'10" adult male, I can say this is a better fit--though the A2 isn't bad either in that respect.

Razor A3 Scooter - Various Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Razor A3 scooter is a great step up from the inexpensive, less robust scooters you'll find in many stores. Very strong: my 11-year-old weighs about 100 pounds and it has easily absorbed use and abuse from him and his friends for months.
The large wheels are a great feature, as is a neat adjustment which you can use to keep the handle secure to the base without rattling. The hand grips are very comfortable, and are also the part most likely to wear first, but they are easy to replace if you ever need to.

The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the Razor A3 will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.
The Razor A3 is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Razor combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a springless shock-absorbing system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Add in such details as 98 mm urethane wheels, ABEC-5 high-speed bearings, a patented rear fender brake, and a patented folding mechanism and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation.
This version of the Razor A3, which supports up to 143 pounds and is recommended for ages 6 and older. It's also backed by a six-month warranty. For the next step up, try the Razor Pro.
