Yes, the only ones that you cannot use are aluminum! Sorry it took so long..to answer

I don't know, i have used plastic airsoft .15, .20, and .25, not sure about metal though.

I haven't used softballs, but I would think you could. I do use real baseballs, if that helps any.

We are using metal BBs. My son was reading the directions and he said that you can buy Airsoft BBs but they're the really small ones. They have to be the same size as metal BBs.

Yes both are metal. I have only used them a couple of times so be careful until you get the hang of it!

Smaller motor needed to throw lighter ball, maybe? It wouldn't be an issue if the machine actually threw the lighter balls correctly (except for wind effects). If you want something that throws real baseballs, be prepared to pay a lot more. That is what I am looking to do...

It is not recommended that you use metal utensils, Just get a set of plastic utensils and they will work find.

No, a bat house would not work on this pole. Needs a stronger, preferably wooden pole.

Honestly, I treasure my baseballs and bat, more then to allow an electric device with sharp blades near it.... But to each their own, I'd highly suggest manual razors for that, as there is less chance of injury and pain.

Baseballs and goofballs are fine. Not really familiar with cricket ball if it like an american baseball yes I hit into it at close range kinda like a mini batting cage and it's fine. I don't know how to use it for cricket. Hope that helps enjoy it

Yes you can. But it might not do much good for long. I would try graphite lube for exhaust metal on metal use.

Baseballs are not a problem, hit them all the time. Soft tballs are also not an issue. Big super balls are also fun to hit, but don't think you asked about that...

I haven't tried any of them on metal, but I don't think it would work right. I'd stick with wood and vinyl.

You cannot use metal BB's. Metal BB's are a smaller diameter and are to heavy I imagine. Hope that answers your question.

Yes, the poles are metal. Although they are not very tall. Unless they are out in a very open location I doubt you'd have any issues.

No...the machine is not strong enough to push out a baseball. Only use the type of balls it comes with.
