Once you factor in purchasing balls , battery , sine wave convertor etc , the paceman strike (and even more so with the pro , as you need to buy the feeder separately too) are only $100-200 cheaper than a bola junior.
I bought the feeder extension for the bola junior ($30) , so my feeder now takes 19 balls.
Every 3.5ft you move the machine equals approx 5mph quicker( based off an 80ph calculation reference ) , so 3.5ft closer 65mph + 5 mph (70mph). The closest i get the machine before it just doesnt feel right anymore is 10ft, which is like 65mph + 15mph (80mph). From 7ft closer (ie 65mph + 10mph (75mph)) the machine feels perfect as the lower height (ie 5ft odd) from 7ft closer feels like a normalish bolwing trajectory.
The paceman machines dont even come close in terms of speed consistency , swing consistency , ease of adjustment etc too. A digital control panel is a bigger plus than you might initially think aswell.
When you also think about after purchase servicing , which bola do , and the fact that its a two wheel machine (not one like a paceman ) and it really is a no brainer .
