The Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is a revolutionary tool designed by industry veterans who grew up in the world of softball. With a commitment to enhancing player performance and safety, this machine delivers accurate and diverse pitch types, making it suitable for players at all levels. Its innovative three-wheel design allows for seamless pitch adjustments and improved visibility, ensuring that hitters can develop their skills effectively and safely.
Durability and safety are at the core of the Hack Attack’s design. The machine is built with a rugged powder-coated steel frame, ensuring it withstands tough field conditions and countless training sessions. The three 13-inch throwing wheels are made from high-tensile, heat-treated alloy, guaranteeing longevity and performance even in extreme weather conditions. For added safety, the Hack Attack includes protective guards to prevent the wheels from contacting the ground, while its tripod base ensures stability on uneven surfaces. This construction allows the machine to absorb recoil effectively, maintaining accuracy and reducing wear and tear on the ball.
Portability is another standout feature of the Hack Attack. Despite its solid build, it is designed to be easily moved by just one person. The legs unsocket quickly, and the machine can be tilted and rolled on its heavy-duty transport wheels, making it simple to maneuver on and off the field. Whether you're training at a high school, college, or professional level, or even practicing in a backyard cage, the Hack Attack delivers the ultimate combination of performance, safety, and convenience for softball players and coaches alike.

Unique Softball Machine Features
- The 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.
- With this design, the hitter sees when to stride and the angle of release, giving you an actual live-arm sense of timing and location.
- With a quick turn of the Hack Attack dials you can effortlessly throw fastballs, risers, drops, right- and left-handed screwballs up and into the hitters.
- 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 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.)
- The Throwing head of the Hack Attack pivots instantly in any direction for all fungo work including deep 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.
- This effective training tool makes most efficient use of practice time with limited throwing head adjustments needed and an almost instant recovery time. More strikes delivered at every practice!
- The Hack Attack pitching machine quickly moves on and off the field by just tilting it, un-socketing the legs and easily rolling it on two heavy-duty transporting wheels (not the throwing wheels).
- The front wheel guards insure the throwing wheels never come in contact with the ground. (Some machines are moved using throwing wheels, picking up dangerous dirt and gravel that causes inaccuracy and wear.)
- The Hack Attack pitching machine is designed for use with regulation leather baseballs, dimpled practice balls, Wiffle balls and all softer practice balls. (Not synthetic leather balls as they wear quickly and will leave a residue on the wheel.)
- No assembly is required; the Hack Attack arrives fully assembled and ready for your immediate use.
