Right-Handed Batters
(left-handed batters do the reverse)
» Shown are the proper angles and positions for each of the various drills. Batters
should always locate at an angle that directs the ball rod toward the batter’s
back leg. This angle ensures proper ball contact without hitting the shaft.
» Special attention should always be given to making sure each practice swing is
performed correctly. The batter should read each swing’s contact to access the
swing quality and power. Correction should be made when needed. It is better
to work at a slower pace with quality swings than to work too fast and to have
poor swing quality.
» The batter should always take the time to assume a proper stance and use
correct mechanics.
» Batters should practice hitting all possible strike locations. The hurricane allows
you to choose a precise location to practice hitting.
» The machine rotates in an 7 ft. circle. Make sure your safety zone is clear.
» Always check each component of the machine before use to assure each is in
proper working condition
» Before using the Hurricane read the safety rules. Always follow those rules during
assembly and use.
Proper “Batter-to-Machine” Positioning
is Vital when Using the Hurricane.
