Product Overview
The Hack Attack Softball machine uses a three-wheel throwing design that keeps the ball fully visible through the entire feeding, acceleration and release motion, giving hitters a realistic sense of timing and release angle just like a live pitcher. Wheel-speed dials alone change pitch type and break, unlike two-wheel machines that require awkward throwing-head repositioning to switch pitches.
With this bundle, coaches can dial in fastballs, risers, drops and both right- and left-hand screwballs, and adjust elevation up or down 4-6 inches per handle turn to move pitches anywhere in the strike zone between reps. Ball delivery is set using a pitch-selection chart mounted on the machine, and recovery time between pitches is just 3-5 seconds thanks to the three-wheel system.
Paired with the Team Feeder's 150-ball capacity, this bundle is built for extended team batting practice sessions without constant reloading, making it well suited for high school, college, travel-team and club-level programs running high-repetition drills. The machine throws 12-inch softballs including regulation leather, pitching-machine leather, polyurethane, whiffle and foam balls, though synthetic leather balls should be avoided as they cause wheel residue buildup.
The machine arrives fully assembled and ready to use with no tools required, and moves on and off the field on its own large rolling wheels — the throwing wheels never touch the ground, preventing wear or accuracy loss. Broken down, the unit weighs roughly 145-152 lbs and can be lifted into a truck or SUV by two people for transport between fields or facilities.
Power draw is up to 12 amps on a 110V circuit (220/240V also available), and the machine can run off a clean-electricity 1000-2000W inverter generator when field power isn't available. Backed by a 2-year warranty covering materials, workmanship and wear components including the throwing wheels, controllers and motors, this bundle is engineered for seasons of dependable, heavy-use team practice.
