Japanese batting centers
Hello everyone, im new here and have a question. I saw you guys have very nice battingcenters with the screen in front of it on youtube. Anyone knows which brand the pitching machines are and who manufactures the screen?

Anyone, please????

Thanks a lot this is exactly what i mean!!
But it is not really helping cause there is no english subs on the site, only japanese...

I want to start my one batting center in europe. I've searched the internet for pitching machines and accessoires. Ive found some manufacturers in usa and i want to compare it with japanese manufacturers.

Are there any more in japan????
