Product Overview
The Hack Attack Baseball pitching machine uses a unique three-wheel throwing design, with each 14-inch concave wheel driven by its own variable-speed motor. This replacement wheel is built from high tensile, heat-treated alloy and finished to be weather-resistant, matching the same rugged construction found on the original machine so performance and durability remain consistent after installation.
Because the Hack Attack grips the ball in three locations rather than two, wear on both the wheel surface and the baseball itself is reduced compared to two-wheel machines. Sports Attack states it has never had to replace a throwing wheel due to wear, weather exposure, or heat-related melting, reflecting the quality of the wheel material used in this part.
Each wheel plays a direct role in the machine's pitch versatility: adjusting the relative speed of the three wheels lets the Hack Attack throw fastballs, curveballs, sliders, split fingers, sinkers, and more, all without tilting the throwing head. A properly matched replacement wheel is essential for maintaining accurate speed range (35 to 100+ MPH) and consistent pitch behavior across all these pitch types.
This wheel is intended for use only with regulation leather baseballs, dimpled or polyurethane practice balls, whiffle balls, and foam balls; synthetic leather balls should be avoided since they wear quickly and can leave residue buildup on the wheel surface, affecting long-term performance.
As a service part, this throwing wheel is designed to be replaced in the field using only a few common tools, with no need for local technician assistance. It is covered under Sports Attack's two-year wear component warranty, which includes throwing wheels, controllers, and motors, and is also available bundled as a full set of three for complete wheel replacement.

Warranty
2-year warranty on wear components including throwing wheels, controllers, and motors
Sports Attack stands behind the material and workmanship of its machines and all wear components (throwing wheels, controllers and motors). Coverage runs from the date of original purchase, verified by the serial number and date codes on the unit:
- 2 years - residential and institutional use (schools, colleges, teams).
- 1 year - commercial use (batting cages, training facilities open to the public).
Making a claim: warranty requests go through Sports Attack customer service. Wear components (motors, controllers, wheels) may require a photo or live video with the request. Serial number and component date codes must be legible and unaltered. If Sports Attack has previously supplied warranty components for the unit, video evidence of their use is required. When a claim involves a replacement part, the part and replacement instructions are supplied at no cost.
Returns: a machine may be returned within 30 days of receipt for any reason for a full refund, less a 15% restocking fee; return shipping is the purchaser's responsibility and the refund may be reduced by any non-cosmetic damage.
Not covered: normal wear and tear; cosmetic damage such as minor scratches, surface deformation, discoloration or natural fading; misuse, abuse, accident or negligence including prolonged exposure to inclement weather; fire, flood or other acts of God; unauthorized modification or aftermarket components; and any failure arising after the warranty period.
