Hack Attack Baseball Pitching Machine by Sports Attack

First, I decided to write this now since I've been able to use the Hack Attack for quite some time now. This pitching machine is by far the best for the money, although not cheap. The consistency in which it throws without having to adjust is flat out wonderful. Even if you have to adjust, it's a sight turn here or there with ease. I put a radar gun on the highest fastball setting and it was consistently 93-94 mph with baseballs, these balls were used and some where in good shape but overall they were average at best. The other settings such as the curveball are wonderful as well. This machine throws a real curveball, left handed or right handed I might add, that can be adjusted to a borderline slider etc. In other words, if there is a certain pitcher you're facing then you can pretty much adjust the machine to throw a pitch that would represent it. Knuckle ball and Splitter are flat nasty, this really helps with seeing pitches you may not see until higher levels or can't replicate within a pitching staff. Fungo is also fantastic. The days of just shooting a ball in the are with uncontrolled or one type of spin is over. Right field with a right handed hitter up? that slicing ball with spin? no problem. Balls hit on a line that dives into the ground with top spin, no problem. The machine has helped remarkably with charging and reading these types of balls. You can swivel the machine and move it up and down with ease. Little left, little right, little up, little down between balls, no problem. Durability so far is great, this looks and feels like quality. A lot of thought went into these machines, you can tell. Form transportation to setup. My one complaint is the rubber cap ends on the end of the legs come off easy and wear easy. The hard black caps that are inserted into the legs come out and become and issue to put back in. I think they need to screw in (the hard smooth black inserts) and also have a cuff of some sort to hand tighten (butterfly or wing nut) around the legs (Rubber ends). I wound up taping them to the leg cause they would not stay on anymore and were tearing. All in all you could not ask for a better machine. You will not be disappointed.

Where to begin, I bought this machine for my backyard batting cage. It’s a brute. Heavy, but quality through and through. This machine is used by major league, minor league and top tier college programs across the nation. Imagine having a machine that can accurately throw 100+ mph! Get the leather machine balls with kevlar seams to go with it- they handle the extreme friction from the massive rubber wheels quite well. This machine is worth every cent!

I purchased this machine a couple years ago and I can honestly say It's been a great investment. We take everywhere in the back of my expedition. My boys are now in HS and their teams are using during practice every week. 80-95 MPH consistently. I do recommend using full grain leather balls only.

Very well built. Solid and heavy. I leave it set up and cover it when not in use. Quickly and easily adjusted. I can't say enough good things about the company the built it or about Amazon.

I am impressed by the quality of the workmanship. Unfortunately, when trying to stand the machine up my son's finger got caught in the mechanism and moving parts. He got a nasty cut and ended up in urgent care getting an x-ray. The machine is heavy and almost impossible for one person to transport or set up. Be careful when standing it up and setting it down to avoid injury.

This machine takes practice you another level. The sturdy construction, precise pitch adjustments and three wheel design puts it into a class above all the other pitching machines being sold. Oh, did I mention that it is the only machine where the hitter can see the ball all the way from leaving the hand to crossing the plate.

I am tempted to leave a negative review because it is our secret weapon :). It can throw the same pitch all day to almost the exact same spot: 12:6 hard breaking curveballs, sliders, knuckleballs, you name it. We measured a fastball at 96 mph and there was room for it to go even faster. It does not slip: you just set it up and feed the balls until you want to change the pitch. It is extremely well designed, very durable and I expect it to last for years. Something to keep in mind: you will need some strength to get it from the rolling position to set up to throw on the tripod. I am 6 feet 295 lbs and I can manage it but I struggle a little. The body of the machine weighs somewhere near 200 lbs.

Too expensive … too heavy… doesn’t fit in the back of an suv

Had a few issues covered under warranty, awesome machine and even better customer service from Sports Attack, just great work guys!
