Product Overview
The Snap Attack is a football training machine designed by football coaches to replicate the most difficult-to-practice phases of the game: long snaps, passes, punts and kickoffs. Two solid polyurethane throwing wheels, each driven by its own high-powered electric motor, grip the ball firmly for a tight, accurate spiral and deliver speeds of 70+ MPH, with near-instant recovery between reps thanks to the dual-motor design.
On the passing stand, the throwing head pivots instantly in any direction, throwing right- and left-handed passes and punts from 5 to 100 yards and kickoffs of 70+ yards from a 50-inch release point. Lowered to ground level on the snapping stand, the machine snaps the ball to any depth from 5 to 15 yards for shotgun, pistol, placement (field goal/PAT) and punt formations, with a 12-inch release point that mimics a real center snap.
This versatility lets coaches run reps that are normally impossible without a center or quarterback: shotgun and no-back offense drills, quick kicks, short punts, extra-point timing, long snaps, and even simulated bad snaps for holder and punter practice. On the passing side it supports interception, tip, harassment and zone-defense drills, plus route work like deep balls, outs, curls and slants, as well as squib, pooch and onside kicks and return coverage drills.
Built for high school, college and professional-level play (it is sized for an official football, not a youth ball), the Snap Attack uses wheel-tilt handles to instantly locate and lock the throwing head for right- or left-handed passes, punts, or end-over-end kicks, with no tools, guesswork or trial-and-error adjustment required. Wheel guards protect hands and arms and help keep the wheels dry, and the solid design needs no air-pressure maintenance over the life of the machine.
The unit ships fully assembled, requiring only that the passing or snapping stand be attached, and moves on and off the field on two large, solid transport wheels with no deflating tires to manage. A steel-plated frame provides weather resistance and durability, and the machine is backed by a two-year warranty on materials, workmanship and wear components including the throwing wheels, controllers and motors.
