Description
Three wheel pitching machine – Junior Hack Attack
The Junior Hack Attack has a unique three-wheel design that allows you to see the ball clearly and fully all the way through the feeding motion, acceleration and release, just like a live pitcher. In developing hitters, especially at younger ages, there is nothing more important than timing and vision.
With this design, the hitter sees when to stride and the angle of release, giving him an actual live-arm sense of timing and location. The Junior will develop your dedicated players into the “pros” they want to be.
At a level where simplicity is imperative, with the Junior Hack Attack dials you can effortlessly throw major league fastballs, and right and left handed breaking pitches including curveballs, sliders and split fingers.
This exclusive three-wheel design changes the breaking pitch plane by simply adjusting wheel speed dials. (All two-wheel units require time consuming awkward throwing head adjustments to change from fastballs to curveballs or right to left handed breaking pitches.)
The Junior Hack Attack’s elevation adjustment handle will raise or lower the pitch. With a simple turn, you can even move the pitch up or down within the strike zone between pitches. (On two-wheel pitching machines it may be necessary to release a locking mechanism, reposition the entire throwing head by tilting it manually and then re-locking the locking mechanism. These are awkward time-consuming adjustments.)
New Features on the 2015 Junior Hack Attack
Introducing the new Inside/Outside Control
Now both the Hack Attack and the Junior Hack Attack will include an inside/outside adjustment that provides instant location change, giving the machines a whole new dimension. This feature will:
- Center the first pitch without having to shift the entire machine (no more kicking of back leg)
- Allow the operator to move the pitch inside or outside with a simply turn of a handle
- In combination with the elevation control, quickly move a pitch to any area of the strike zone between pitches
The machines still lock to repeat pitches and still release to do all of the fungo work.
New Sleek Design
The 2015 pitching machines have a new sleek look with an upgraded exterior design.
New Leg caps
The 2015 pitching machines have upgraded, extra heavy-duty leg caps that will last for seasons.
