Pin PopToss
$159.99 – $200.00
Since 1995, you, our loyal customers and many vendors have hung in there with us on this incredible journey.
Most of you are baseball/softball lifers. You, like us, love hitting that round ball! Our Vacuum PopToss has been in the marketplace for 25 years. It’s a personal pitching machine, non-battery, non-electric. It’s only drawback is it throws or pitches a new 12-inch softball for a distance of 25 feet. It’s meant for personal use. You do have to be mindful of keeping dirt from getting into the top of the PopToss. A few years ago, we added a dirt filter to upgrade the Vacuum PopToss.
Why create a new PopToss model?
We wanted to create a pitching machine based on the following ideas
- We wanted to create an upgrade in the distance this Pin PopToss provides. It has two settings:
- Setting one tosses or pitches the 12-inch softball 29 feet.
- Setting two does 35 to 37 feet…. using a new softball on a hard, level surface.
- We wanted to design a PopToss pitching machine that targets what we call “Buddy Ball”… meaning you and your buddy can have a great time hitting together. The Pin PopToss is loaded with your bat and activated with your baseball bat. It’s a two-person machine.
- If you are a high school coach or a little league coach and you want your team to get great hitting practice without a batting tee or Jugs pitching machine, pair your hitters off together. One kid hits while the other kid activates the Pin PopToss.
- If you are a parent and you want to spend quality time hitting some balls with your child, use our Pin PopToss! Your kid loads it and you activate it with a baseball bat. You will be spending quality doing something everyone loves… hitting a baseball or softball or softie ball.
Many of you Slow-Pitch Softball players desire hitting practice at times when your game pitcher is not available or he’s late arriving or he doesn’t like doing practice pitching because he can get hit by a batter and injured. The Pin PopToss is great for team practice.
IT THROWS PERFECT STRIKES – PERFECT PITCHES.
We wanted to create a non-battery, non-electric pitching machine that was almost indestructible.
We wanted to make it real simple to get the two replacement parts that customers would ever need. if ever. Those two parts are the base the PopToss sits on and the long yellow cap, which may be needed if the machine is struck by a batted ball. These two parts would be really inexpensive and easy to replace for customers who need them.
We also wanted a PopToss that was NOT affected by dirt, cold, rain, or anything else. Yes, a pitching machine that would work perfectly for 15 to 20 years.
We wanted to design a pitching machine that was incredibly easy to use.
You just load it, as usual using your bat knob end. Secondly, to activate it, to pitch the ball 35 to 37 feet, you just push or pull the lever.
Adjust the two settings from one to the other by turning the gray ball striker either in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction to align with an arrow on the yellow cap.
We know this pitching machine will be loved as much as the Vacuum PopToss we’ve been selling since 1995.

I was absolutely amazed on how I was able to talk to a live representative on my first call. There was no question or bickering as far as replacing parts that I needed and when I did receive the parts I received parts that I didn’t even expect to get and now my pop toss is up and running better than ever.

Had it for 4 years it continues to work without an issue.

I haven’t used it but a few times since I have a hard time walking very far but the few times I did it worked great after adjusting the arc. Seems like they have great customer support and you can’t beat the lifetime warranty. If I ever get my leg fixed I will be using it a lot more,

Customer seevice is great and easy to work with. I have never had an issue with getting replacement parts and I love using my pop toss! The lifetime warranty is a real thing and I highly recommend this product!
Royce Lee Yardley –
It’s more than I expected. I can now have batting practice any time I want. I’ve recommended your product to a number of people.

I purchased my first Pop Toss in 2012 and still own/use it regularly (at least weekly). The piston head has 2 rings with 4 support tabs meant to absorb the impact forces when the piston head has reached the end of its travel after striking the ball. These support tabs failed within months of purchase. I contacted customer support and advised them of the problem with the suggestion that the number of these support tabs should be increased from 4 to 8. Pop Toss sent me a replacement piston head and whole new unit as appreciation of my suggestion which has now been incorporated into the current design of your Pop Toss. I have made additional support modifications to the piston heads (w/4 support tabs) and my 2 units continue to perform well with any issues to this day.
A few years ago, I began experiencing problems with the air bleed off valve (on both units) and again contacted customer support wanting to purchase replacement valves and I was sent a complete new Pop Toss (latest design of 8 cylinder support tabs and unit that pops the ball higher and further).
I can not say enough kudos to Pop Toss for honoring their life time guarantee.
Comparing the older design and the newer design, I note the following key differences
Old Unit. New Unit
Spring Length. 12”. 14”
“Yellow Cap”/Cylinder Housing. 10”. 13”
Angle Unit Makes w/ground. 80 degrees. 45 degrees
Popped Ball Height. 7’. ~ 15’
Popped Ball Distance. 5’. ~ 15’
Repeatability Accuracy. 6”. 20”
My preference is the older units performance as it will consistently toss a strike every time, whereas the newer unit very much represents unlimited arc slow pitch softball play, however very seldom is a strike received.
I now have noted that your website, allows the purchase of replacement parts, which I use to keep my two old design Pop Toss units in serviceable condition.
I thoroughly endorse your product as an invaluable training tool for slow pitch softball play.
Many people have seen my use of the Pop Toss unit as pregame batting practice, hitting into a net and I have provided them with your contact details and the advice as to the difference in performance between the old design and the new design and my preference is the old unit’s performance and this should be discussed with customer support before placing an order.
I am a strong supportive of your product.

I absolutely love Pop Toss!!! The lifetime warranty is legit and I love Pat she is always cool about fixing the part issues or if that doesn’t work they send you a replacement!!! My favorite company and I’m so glad that years ago I bought my PopToss!!!! A+++++++++
Joe Flauta –
My wife purchased the PopToss for me as an anniversary present, which is truly one of the best gifts ever received! The machine is truly amazing, easy to assemble, and even better to use!! I’ve brought my PopToss to batting practices with the team, and even they are truly amazed by it. They get perfect pitches to off of with the practice of timing and form. A lot of my teammates have even acquired information on how they could purchase one for themselves. I use it occasionally Chen I just want to go to the field by myself, and love the convenience of being able to hit a pitched ball instead of off of a tee-stand. I am real excited in using this machine!!
Kyle Maurer –
Great product! I’ve purchased two. Nothing else like it on the market. I have the jugs battery powered soft toss machine and another off brand electric toss machine. This is definitely my favorite. Can’t beat the customer service or the warranty. No complaints at all.
