ASSEMBLY
STEP 1:
Find a secure flat
ground area and
approximately 12 ft.
of space suitable
for hitting.
STEP 2:
Place the base
(B)
and top
pole (A) on the
ground.
STEP 3:
Attach leg (C) by inserting to the base. Use the knob (D)
to secure leg by screwing down to base until the knob
feels tight. Repeat on each additional leg.
STEP 4:
Place the top pole (A) onto the base (B).
Note: Make sure the metal loops holding the
Hit-A-Way are facing the same direction and
are aligned.
STEP 5:
Secure the Hit-A-Way Select to the
ground by sliding the ground stake (E)
into the groove of the leg and twisting
into the ground. Repeat for each leg.
RAISING THE HEIGHT
1. Pull the sleeve back, away from the ball, and push the upper cord out of the ball.
2. Pull excess cord back through the ball using the lower cord. Once the adjustment
is made, push the sleeve back so it fits right up against the ball.
USING YOUR HIT-A-WAY SELECT
1. Wind ball once around pole (clockwise for right-
handers), and pull ball and cord toward you.
Fully extend cord, and set home plate down (not
included) so that the ball is over the center of the
plate. Stand 2 feet back from home plate to hit
the ball near the thick end of the bat. If the bat can
reach the adjustment sleeve or beyond, you’re too
close — move back.
2. With the ball centered over home plate, throw ball
forward toward imaginary pitcher until the cord
winds up. The Hit-A-Way ball will wind around the
pole 3 times.
3. Wait for the ball to unwind 3 or 4 rotations, and
then hit the ball. Ball should be hit when the cord
is under tension. (Do not hit if there is slack in the
cord. This can cause damage to the product and/
or serious injury.)
NOTE:
Never stand closer than 2 feet from plate
to avoid bat tangling with cord, and do not step
toward pole after hitting.
4. Repeat and build a rhythm. You should strive
for repeated, solid contact. Hit continually for a
minute, and build up the length of your hitting
intervals as you improve.
LOWERING THE HEIGHT
1. To lower the ball to your desired hitting height, pull the sleeve back, away from the ball,
and push the lower cord out of the ball while firmly holding the ball.
2. Pull the excess cord back through the ball using the upper cord. (Repeat as desired.)
Once the adjustment is made, push the sleeve back so it fits right up against the ball.
