NOTE: Vertical (elevation) and horizontal (swivel) must both be adjusted whenever you 
change speed or spin.  

Always have the batter step away from the batter box before adjusting speed or spin.

BALL seLeCtIOn

  1.  Never mix leather balls with synthetic pitching machine balls.

  2.  Be careful not to mix new with old balls, or balls from different manufacturers.

  3.  Balls must be consistent in type and amount of wear to produce repeatability.  

 4. 

NEVER USE WET BALLS! 

Leather balls work well but will wear faster than synthetic pitching machine balls.  
Watch to see that leather balls do not begin to soften from the great amount of hitting  
they will receive.

Discard old or soft leather balls from your Hack Attack batting sessions. Similarly, discard 
older worn synthetic pitching balls.

Pitch Selection Chart - These settings are a general guideline for professional pitches  

for major league hitters only. Adjustments for players of lesser skill can be made from these settings.

WARnInG 

PeRsOnAL InJuRY HAZARD

Never reach down near throwing 
wheels for any reason! Always turn 
all three speed control dials “OFF”, 
turn the on/off switch “OFF”, unplug 
Hack Attack from the power source 
and wait until the throwing wheels 
have come to a complete stop 
before reaching hands or fingers 
anywhere near throwing wheels.

Never loosen the horizontal swivel 
lock while pitching to a batter.

If the lock is not secure, the  
throwing head is free to pivot.  
A loose swivel lock can allow a  
pitch to be inside which could hit  
the batter.
