Product Overview
The Aerial Attack Football Machine is built around two independently driven, solid polyurethane throwing wheels that grip the ball for accurate spin without scarring leather or needing air pressure. Two electronically controlled variable-speed DC motors give each wheel its own power, letting coaches dial in any combination of speed and spin for spirals, punts, or end-over-end kickoffs from a single machine.
This DC Model runs on two 12V lithium batteries (24Ah each) housed in rubber-padded, impact-protected battery boxes with LED power displays, charged in about 2.75 hours via the included 90V charger and good for roughly 4 hours of run time per charge. That cordless setup lets coaches reposition the machine anywhere on the field instantly, without chasing extension cords or generators.
On the training side, the machine covers both sides of the ball: interception, tip, harassment, zone-defense and prevent drills on defense, and deep passes, sideline routes, curls and slants on offense, plus kicking-game work including squib, pooch and onside kicks, punt returns and kickoff returns. The throwing head pivots instantly in any direction and locks into a chosen angle for precise, repeatable reps.
Designed for high school, college and professional-level play (the ball size makes it unsuited to youth footballs), the unit uses leather footballs and also accepts composite balls, provided they are dry and properly inflated. A steel-plated frame, sealed maintenance-free bearings, and wheel guards protect players and hardware alike, backed by a straightforward field-serviceable design.
The machine arrives fully assembled, requiring only that the tripod legs be attached before use, and moves on two solid, oversized transport wheels that stay in place for quick rolling on and off the field. An optional universal cart clamp lets it mount to almost any transport cart, rounding out a package built for programs that need Hack Attack-style versatility on a tighter budget.
