User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to hit with a whiffle bat or can you use a real/aluminum bat
Answer:	My son, daughter, and myself have used a child's aluminum T-ball bat. I can swing full speed with jugs poly baseballs and no issues. Jugs Balls are more consistent than the ones it came with. Huge upgrade for small money. Other limited flight styles may work also. Only have tried jugs based on others reviews and recommendations. Glad I did!! https://www.amazon.com/Jugs-Poly-Baseballs-Dozen-White/dp/B00R8EWOZK/ref=pd_aw_sim_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZBCV9C1RHS5BE9G713RW
Question:	Can you put baseballs in it
Answer:	No real baseballs, just plastic ones.
Question:	how fast does it go
Answer:	About 30 to 40 mph from a distance of 25 to 30 feet. The balls that come with it, or are recommended for it, are junk, however it works great if you buy JUGGS plastic balls. I've had one in my basement for several years hitting JUGGS balls with wood bats and love it. The balls break occasionally after a long period of time but can really take a beating. I set-up the machine on stacked crates so that the machine is at shoulder height thus replicating a very inexpensive indoor pitching machine. If you buy good balls they will be delivered consistently in the strike zone. The best money I've spent for practicing baseball in the winter.
Question:	I need something like this for my dog, I say need because my shoulder/arm can't take much more. Will this work or any other suggestions
Answer:	My dog loves it but he only brings the balls back...hasnt grasped the concept of putting then back in the basket yet. It didn't launch very far but I put it on a chair to add height. Someone suggested I buy wiffle balls (I bought a neon green set from Amazon)... they worked great.

User questions & answers

Question:	i am a boxer and wanted to get better at slipping punches, do you think it can be used by shooting it at my face and i just slip it
Answer:	I'm not sure I understand the boxing terminology of "slipping". However, the balls are small enough and soft enough that it wouldn't injure you if it hit you in the face (from a distance). The machine doesn't always shoot balls out at the exact same spot, which is why it's good for batting practice.
Question:	Can my kids use this with their real bat
Answer:	Yes, my kids only use this with real bats. They are foam balls and can be used with any type of bat.
Question:	How slow can it be adjusted to shoot the ball? Have a four year old that's good but need a machine he can grow with
Answer:	I am not sure for actual MPH, however I can say my 7 year old can hit on the slow speed but my 4 year old has trouble. The 4 year old does not play tho so yours may be able to hit on it. A regular size bat is easier for the little one but the small bat really helps once they get the hang of it. I hope this helps.
Question:	Can it be used in basement. Is the ball going to damage the basement walls
Answer:	We use it in our basement. It's not finished, the balls do not damage the block. We did put cages over the lights though.

User questions & answers

Question:	can u use real baseballs
Answer:	Manual feed.
Question:	can i use real baseballs
Answer:	That's why my husband purchased it for our son. It's awkward to move, not heavy so we bought one of those folding wagons to carry all his baseball equipment to the field for practice. It's a great product!
Question:	What is the difference between base hit and slider lite
Answer:	The machine needs to be secured to the ground. After every pitch the machine will jerk/move if not secured properly. The slightest movement shifts the pitches. Sandbags or weights would be an alternative to the stakes.
Question:	Can regular hardballs be used in this machine
Answer:	Each ball is loaded one at a time. It's not designed to accept a stack.

Product description

The Junior Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine has all of the unique features of the Hack Attack Professional Pitching Machine. This unique three-wheel design allows you to see the ball clearly all the way through the feeding motion, acceleration and release, just like a live pitcher. The hitter sees when to stride and the angle of release, giving him an actual live-arm sense of timing and location. In developing hitters, especially at younger ages, there is nothing more important than timing and vision. Any change in pitch, from fastballs to any breaking pitch, is quickly dialed in using the three speed knobs. (All two-wheel units require time consuming awkward throwing head adjustments to change from risers to drops or right to left handed breaking pitches.) With a quick turn of the dials you can effortlessly throw 60+ MPH fastballs, risers, drops, right- and left-handed screwballs up and into the hitters. (On other two-wheel pitching machines it may be an awkward time-consuming adjustment.) The 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. Throwing head pivots instantly in any direction for all fungo work including deep 175 ft. fly balls, line drives, catcher's pop-ups, infield pop-ups and grounders. The Junior Hack Attack quickly moves on and off the field, just tilt it, unsocket legs and easily roll on two transporting wheels. The front wheel guards insure the throwing wheels never come in contact with the ground. The Junior Hack Attack is designed for use with all regulation and pitching machine balls. It is also the only pitching machine that will convert quickly to throw a special 7.5" diameter vision training ball. This critical size forces centering and tracking while maintaining proper hitting mechanics. No assembly is required. Product dimensions: approx. 25” x 20” x 26” 75 pounds Shipping weight: 100 pounds

• The Junior Hack Attack will throw 60+ MPH fastballs, risers, drops, right- and left-handed screwballs up and into the hitters

• Throwing head pivots instantly in any direction for ground balls, line drives, pop-ups and 175 ft. fly balls

Product description

The Hack Attack Baseball Pitching Machine has a unique three-wheel design that allows you to see the ball clearly all the way through the feeding motion, acceleration and release, just like a live pitcher. The hitter sees when to stride and the angle of release, giving him an actual live-arm sense of timing and location. The 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.) With a quick turn of the dials you can effortlessly throw major league fastballs 100+ MPH, and right and left handed breaking pitches including curveballs, sliders and split fingers. New 2015 model has sleek new design and an inside/outside adjustment that provides instant location change. Throwing head pivots instantly in any direction for all fungo work including deep 380 ft. fly balls that can drive fielders to the fence, slicing line drives, catcher's pop-ups with reverse spin, towering infield pop-ups, and grounders. The Hack Attack is very portable, just easily roll on two transporting wheels. The Hack Attack is designed for use with regulation leather baseballs, dimpled practice balls, Wiffle balls and all softer practice balls. No assembly is required; the Hack Attack Baseball Pitching Machines arrives fully assembled and ready for your immediate use.
