The Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is the full-size fastpitch machine from Sports Attack, built for high school, college and travel softball programs. It throws fastballs over 80 MPH from 43 feet, plus risers, drops, right- and left-handed curves, screwballs up and in, and knuckleball changeups.
Its three-wheel design leaves the ball in full view through the feed, acceleration and release, like a live pitcher. Hitters see when to stride and the angle of release, so they build real timing instead of guessing at a ball that pops out of a chute.

Two-wheel softball machines need the throwing head tilted or rotated to change from a riser to a drop, or from a right-handed to a left-handed pitch. On the Hack Attack, every pitch is set with the wheel speed dials. An elevation handle moves the pitch up or down in the zone between pitches, and the head pivots in any direction for fly balls, line drives, pop-ups and grounders.

For younger hitters, the Junior Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine keeps the same three-wheel design at a lighter weight and lower top speed. Both are fastpitch softball pitching machines that throw real game pitches, so a program can start young hitters on the Junior and move up to the full-size Hack Attack pitching machine as they reach high school and college speeds.
Yes. The Hack Attack Softball Conversion Kit switches the machine to baseball, so one machine can serve both programs. Synthetic leather softballs aren't recommended because they wear quickly and leave residue on the wheels.
Don't let space limit training. Reaction time comes down to pitch speed versus pitching distance, so a pitching machine set closer at a lower speed can match the reaction time of any pitch. Batting practice works in any size batting cage.
