Unique Baseball Machine Features The Hack Attack features a unique three-wheel design that allows players to see the ball clearly throughout the entire pitching motion, from feeding to acceleration and release, simulating a live pitcher’s experience. This design enables hitters to accurately gauge when to stride and understand the angle of release, providing a realistic sense of timing and pitch location. With just a quick adjustment of the dials, you can easily throw major league fastballs as well as both right- and left-handed breaking pitches, including curveballs, sliders, and split fingers. Unlike traditional two-wheel machines, which require cumbersome adjustments to switch between pitch types, the Hack Attack’s exclusive three-wheel system allows you to modify the breaking pitch plane simply by adjusting the wheel speed dials. The elevation adjustment handle on the Hack Attack allows you to raise or lower the pitch easily. With a simple turn, you can adjust the pitch height within the strike zone between throws. In contrast, two-wheel machines often necessitate releasing a locking mechanism, manually tilting the throwing head, and then re-locking it, making those adjustments awkward and time-consuming. The Hack Attack includes an inside/outside adjustment that enables immediate, precise changes to ball placement at the plate. This feature will: Center the first pitch without the need to shift the entire machine, eliminating the hassle of adjusting the back leg. Allow the operator to easily adjust the pitch location inside or outside with a simple handle turn. Work in tandem with the elevation control to quickly position pitches anywhere within the strike zone between throws. The Hack Attack's Throwing Head can pivot instantly in any direction, making it ideal for all fungo work, including deep fly balls that challenge outfielders, slicing line drives, catcher's pop-ups with reverse spin, towering infield pop-ups, and grounders. This efficient training tool minimizes practice time by requiring few adjustments to the throwing head and providing quick recovery between pitches, resulting in more strikes delivered during each session. The Hack Attack can be easily moved on and off the field by tilting it, removing the legs, and rolling it on two heavy-duty transport wheels (separate from the throwing wheels). The front wheel guards ensure that the throwing wheels never touch the ground, preventing them from picking up dirt and gravel that could cause inaccuracies and wear, as seen in some other machines. The Hack Attack pitching machine is compatible with regulation leather baseballs, dimpled practice balls, Wiffle® balls, and all softer practice balls (but not synthetic leather balls, as they wear out quickly and leave residue on the wheel). There’s no assembly required; the Hack Attack comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use. Exceptional Pitching Machine Quality The Hack attack is robust enough to absorb recoil for accuracy, yet it remains portable and can be easily moved by one person. Its extra-wide tripod base provides exceptional stability and safety on pitching mounds or baseball fields. Constructed from high-tensile, heat-treated alloy and weather-resistant aluminum, the throwing head protects the throwing mechanism. The rugged, powder-coated, rust-proof steel frame guarantees many seasons of use. The throwing wheels outlast those of other pitching machines and won’t melt in direct summer heat; Sports Attack has never had to replace a wheel due to wear or heat exposure. Three powerful variable-speed motors drive three durable, concave 14-inch throwing wheels. Hack Attack Specifications Speed 100+ MPH Distance 60 ft.
