Product Description
The baseball training aid that revolutionized swing training is new and improved. The Hurricane Category IV maintains the snap-back action of its predecessor with a new sleeker design, additional power band (4 total) for fast-back action, and a high-visibility impact head. Designed for baseball or fastpitch training, the Hurricane Category IV allows batters to develop swing power and speed with a stationary or moving target.

 Good tool but serious problem with contact piont March 4, 2010
Marc R. Lee (Carrollton, VA United States)
The device works well, but the contact point on this unit is made out of hard plastic. Each contact makes a very loud ping. My daughter and I literally wear hearing protection when working with it. This is annoying, but my main concern is that thin-walled high performance bats could be damaged by this unit. Indeed there is a warning label on the stick that reads "use only with practice bat." Because different bats swing differently I would prefer a unit that could be used with the game day bat.
 Great practice aid January 9, 2010
Robert R. Whittaker
We bought this item as a Christmas gift for our daughters. Shipping was free and the unit arrived quickly. Set up was a breeze. The machine is well designed and went together without any tools needed. Our daughters use it in the basement. It tends to move a bit from their hitting so a bag of sand on each of two legs took care of that issue. The girls like it and use it regularly. One recommendation would be to offer an instructional batting video to go along with the machine. We highly recommend this batting machine for its price and ease of assembly. It is too soon to talk about durability, but this machine looks as if it will be able to stand up to hours of use it is now getting.
Needs a DVD August 26, 2009
Tom Kern (Arizona)
The trainer works great. Gives my 12 year old grandson a lot of cuts that he was not getting before. I think it needs a DVD although to correct swing issues. Jeter could do a 15 minute training on how to swing, how to pick up the ball faster, etc. I think that would be a great addition to this tool.
 Awesome August 13, 2009
Hoss (America's Heartland)
The only thing that stopped my son from practicing on this all day the first day he got it was the blister that developed on his hand after the first couple of hours of hitting. Obviously, he loved it out of the box, and he still loves it.
The Hurricane was very easy to assemble. It's very sturdy, and comes with stakes that you plunk right into the grass to help hold it down while used in the yard. A couple bags of sand hold it down when he uses it in the garage on rainy days. I love that he gets immediate feedback on his swing from the reaction of the trainer, and I love that my arm gets a rest from pitching to him.
This a wonderful product.

I bought this product used from someone who has two teenage sons in little league. While i can't verify how much they used it, from the looks of the batting head, it looks like they gave it a pretty good beating. I've had it myself for over a week now, and I've put it through my own personal torture test (i'm 26 and i'm going for the fences here on every swing), and it's held up remarkably well. I initially had complaints with the fact that the power bands do get snagged on one of the knobs occasionally (as resonated in some of the other reviews here), but I figured out that you can eliminate that problem just by having the knob fact the same direction as the batting head, so i guess now I don't have any complaints anymore. Great machine!
