 defective bungee cords June 2, 2008
I actually purchased two units, one for my kids and another for my nephews. I like the product in the sense of eye hand coordination and helping with proper swing etc. However one of my bungee cords as well as my nephews shredded at the top end. Customer service was nice and sent me a replacement and several back up ones. I like the trainer a lot and don't want to return it but there seems to be an inherent flaw in these bungee cords and I may need to return the unit if it continues to happen.
 Excellent May 29, 2008
I use this product a three time a week and my swing and timing have become very good. I hitting line drives like never before and My playmates are commenting on how good I have become. This is a sturdy and durable piece of work. If you want to make your swing and timing better, buy the Hurricane trainer.
The Johnny Bench Batter Up for the 21st Century May 21, 2008
Remember the "Johnny Bench Batter Up"--a great hitting tool from the 1970s? The Hurricane is the closest thing I've seen to that in many years. Using the same principles--both are designed to monitor hitting power and reward smooth, level swings--the Hurricane is the best practice device for young hitters out there.

I rarely right reviews and Im not righting a review about the design or quality of the product. I am writing to say my 8 year old his hitting wonders now that he uses the hurricane. He hits ever ball first pitch now (from the couch pitched games). I put it away for 2 weeks and he started striking out. I brought it out again, and now he is smashing it again.

 A batting machine that works April 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Finally, a simple to use batting trainer tool. The trainer is very easy to assemble and disassemble as needed. My son has used the batting trainer in the driveway and the backyard using weights to hold the machine in place or supplied ground pegs.
The batting machine provides immediate feedback as to hitting mechanics. Better swings result in more dramatic revolution of the ball rod. A home plate is also included so one can work on inside and outside parts of the plate.
The instructions that came with the unit left a bit to be desired but it was fairly easy to assemble looking at a picture of the assembled unit on the box. The three tension bungee cords ensure that the unit does not get tangled up. In fact it has never gotten tangeled--I certainly could not say that for the hit-a-way that I used to string up to a pole.
The weight of the unit is both a plus and a minus. A plus in that it is a very sturdy unit that does not move if properly secured even after repeated (50-75+) swings. It is a bit of a negative in terms of portability. That is why we use it in the driveway and backyard. I was thinking of bringing it out to my team's little league practice but wouldn't do so unless I had an SUV.
Overall I am convinced that this is the best batting training machine, for the price, on the market today. I would definitely recommend it to others.
