The Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is a top-tier training tool built for serious athletes and programs demanding precision, performance, and versatility. Its innovative three-wheel design sets it apart by providing complete ball visibility from feed to release, closely replicating the experience of facing a live pitcher. This unique feature allows hitters to pick up pitch timing, spin, and trajectory with remarkable realism.
Quick, Precise Pitch Selection
With a simple turn of the dials, the machine can deliver a full arsenal of pitches, including fastballs, risers, drops, screwballs (both left- and right-handed), and knuckleball changeups. Unlike two-wheel machines that require time-consuming mechanical adjustments to change pitch types or directions, the Hack Attack allows rapid, precise pitch variation simply by adjusting wheel speeds. This not only enhances training efficiency but allows for real-time adjustments during practice.
A standout feature of this machine is its inside/outside control handle, which makes pitch location changes across the plate quick and effortless. Combine this with its easy elevation adjustment, and coaches can dial in any spot in the strike zone between pitches without repositioning the entire machine.
The Hack Attack is equally effective for defensive drills. Its pivoting head can instantly adjust to launch deep fly balls, slicing line drives, high infield pop-ups, catcher’s pop-ups with reverse spin, or hard-hit grounders. This versatility minimizes downtime and maximizes reps across all facets of the game.
Built to Last, Easy to Transport
Built with durability in mind, the machine features a rugged powder-coated steel frame and a heat-treated aluminum throwing head that withstands the rigors of daily training. The throwing wheels are designed to resist melting under high temperatures and outlast traditional wheels. Heavy enough to remain stable during use, yet portable with transport wheels and a tilting frame, the Hack Attack is easy to move on and off the field.
No assembly is required; it arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
