Product Overview
The Elite eHack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is the top-tier version of Sports Attack's three-wheel platform, built around a 10" high-resolution touchscreen that replaces manual dial adjustments with an intuitive, menu-driven interface. The three-wheel throwing head grips the ball in three contact points rather than the usual two, opening the ball's flight path so hitters see the ball clearly from release through the entire delivery, closely mimicking the vision and timing of a live pitcher.
On the software side, coaches get instant access to standard pre-set pitches, a full manual mode with independent control of each wheel's speed for custom spin and speed combinations, and the ability to save up to 50 favorite pitches plus 50-pitch favorite sequences. Sequences can be run in saved order, repeated, shuffled, or selected manually, letting a coach replicate a specific pitcher's repertoire or challenge a hitter with randomized pitch patterns during live batting practice.
Utilities built into the touchscreen let staff switch preset pitch difficulty between adult and youth skill levels, toggle speed readouts between MPH and KPH, set a password for secure access, and track total lifetime pitches thrown for maintenance planning. Software updates download directly to the unit, keeping the electronic system current without needing outside service support.
Built for durability under repeated recoil, the machine uses a heat-treated, weather-resistant aluminum casting throwing head and a powder-coated, rust-proof steel frame sitting on an extra-wide tripod base for stability on mounds and typical field surfaces. It moves on two heavy-duty transport wheels separate from the throwing wheels, and the legs un-socket so the whole unit tilts and rolls easily on and off the field.
The machine runs on a 90V electronic drive system and accepts regulation leather, polyurethane, whiffle, or foam training balls, but not synthetic leather balls, which can damage the throwing wheels over time. Sports Attack ships the unit ready to use, backed by a 2-year warranty covering materials, workmanship, and key wear components like the throwing wheels, controllers, and motors.
