I can't seem to get this to work and was so excited. Tips on the technique?

Make sure ropes aren't tangled.Then get some grease Vaseline will work also put some on the ropes then move ball through grease by hand next lay ropes on ground get a water hose and soak the ropes this makes it superfast. As for technique make you put tension on rope and pull apart really fast ball should be moving once pitched bring handles back together so ball returns to you. You will get a great shoulder workout. I have no complaints accept for the ball but the grease reduces the frictions and so far it has worked great it helped my twins start getting hits instead of striking out good luck hope this helps.

Is this used for softball also or is there a different one?

I’d say yes because it’s a ball that is between baseball and softball size

It’s about the length equivalent to home plate to the pitcher’s mound also comes with an extra rope. At least mine did.

Does this use a regulation baseball or lighter?

Hat leider nur ein Training durchgehalten. Ball kommt nur mehr sehr langsam zu Batter, wenn er überhaupt so weit gleitet. Abhilfe mit Schmiermitteln haben auch nur begrenzte Wirkung. Im Training nachschmieren ist für mich nicht akzeptabel. Ball ist auch bereits defekt. Falls es funktioniert, macht es Spaß und ist auch lehrreich. Gute Idee, aber…

My grandson just started to play baseball. They use a pitching gizmo together with a T for hitting. It's rather difficult for the boys to develop their timing as it is impossible to pitch to a seven year old without lobbing the ball. The Zip and Hit has helped with the timing and it's fun. It's well made and easy to use and set up almost anywhere.
