I have a 6 year old son that got hit in the face from a bad pitch and he was not hurt whatsoever. Very safe.
I have 4 star instead of 5 for two reasons:
1. A bit inaccurate when pitching, but also take into consideration that any wind at all will affect a wiffle ball.
2. They should have integrated a 120v plug as a secondary power Option rather than battery power only.

Kids love it - but only works with plastic wiffle balls
