Product Overview
The Hack Attack uses a unique three-wheel throwing design that lets hitters see the ball clearly through the entire feeding, acceleration and release motion, just like watching a live pitcher. This gives batters a real sense of timing, stride cues and release angle that two-wheel and one-wheel machines cannot replicate because part of the ball is hidden by the throwing head.
Pitch selection is entirely dial-based: turning the three wheel-speed dials lets a coach throw major league fastballs plus right- or left-handed curveballs, sliders and split fingers without ever tilting or repositioning the throwing head. An elevation handle raises or lowers the pitch 4-6 inches per turn, and an inside/outside adjustment moves ball location at the plate instantly, so a full strike zone can be worked between pitches.
Beyond pitching, the throwing head pivots instantly for fungo work, producing fly balls up to 380 feet, tailing line drives, topspin grounders and catcher's pop-ups with reverse spin. Recovery time between deliveries is only 3-5 seconds thanks to the three-wheel design, keeping practice tempo high for infield, outfield and catching drills alike.
Built with a powder-coated rust-proof steel frame and a heat-treated aluminum alloy throwing head, the machine is heavy enough to absorb recoil for consistent accuracy yet still portable by one person on its heavy-duty transport wheels. It arrives fully assembled, requires no tools to set up, and accepts regulation leather, dimpled, polyurethane, whiffle or foam baseballs.
This bundle adds the Team Feeder, which holds up to 150 balls for automatic, hands-free feeding so batting practice can run continuously without an operator loading balls by hand. It's a practical upgrade for programs running high-volume team hitting sessions who want to maximize reps in limited practice time.
