Shipping & Returns
The Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is a high-velocity training system engineered for collegiate, professional, and elite amateur fastpitch programs.
Built with a tri-motor independent drive system, the Hack Attack replicates a live pitcher’s release window and ball visibility. It enables hitters to practice against fastballs, risers, drops, and screwballs at velocities exceeding 80+ MPH. The tripod chassis provides mechanical stability, while the pivoting throwing head supports advanced defensive fungo drills including deep fly balls and grounders.
Pitch Dynamics & Three-Wheel Tech
- Breaking Pitch Logic: Independent wheel-speed dials allow for precise calibration of riser, drop, and screwball break planes without adjusting the throwing head.
- Velocity Range: Variable speed control delivers fastballs at 80+ MPH and breaking balls at relative competitive speeds.
- Three-Wheel Advantage: Provides three points of contact on the ball for superior spin stability and accuracy compared to dual-wheel systems.
- Visual Timing: Open-frame design allows hitters to track the ball through the entire feeding motion, simulating live-arm timing.
Strike Zone Precision & Fungo
The Hack Attack utilizes dual-axis mechanical handles for micro-adjustments within the strike zone:
- Vertical Elevation: Instant-adjustment handle raises or lowers the pitch height between deliveries to test hitter discipline.
- Horizontal Calibration: Move the ball inside or outside across the plate without repositioning the tripod base.
- Defensive Training: Throwing head pivots 360° to deliver fungo drills including pop-ups, line drives, and tailing ground balls.
- Recovery Time: High-torque DC motors provide near-instant wheel recovery for high-frequency rapid-fire repetition.
Build Quality & Materials
- Drive Motors: Three variable-speed motors driving 14-inch indestructible concave throwing wheels.
- Wheel Engineering: Specifically designed to resist heat-related expansion and wear during long indoor or outdoor sessions.
- Chassis Build: Powder-coated, rust-proof steel frame with a heat-treated alloy aluminum throwing head casting.
- Stability: Industrial tripod base ensures the machine remains stationary on softball dirt or turf surfaces.
- Portability: Integrated heavy-duty transport wheels allow the unit to be rolled by one person.
Ball Compatibility & Maintenance
- Standard Media: Optimized for 12-inch regulation leather softballs and dimpled pitching machine balls.
- Training Media: Compatible with 11-inch softballs, Wiffle® balls, and soft-compression training balls.
- Usage Note: Synthetic leather balls are not recommended as the covering can leave a residue on the polyurethane wheels, affecting accuracy.
- Protection: Integrated front wheel guards protect the drive mechanics from ground debris and gravel.
