Needs a DVD by Tom Kern (Arizona)  4 Stars
August 26, 2009
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 by Hoss (America's Heartland)  5 Stars
August 13, 2009
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.

great machine by Wailun Yeung (Oakland Gardens, NY) 5 Stars
July 20, 2009
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!

Seems to be good by Raul Mujica (CA) 4 Stars
April 27, 2009
I bought this for my 8 and 9 year old boys. Had it for three weeks and have used it twice. It really is a good tool to see the kids swings and correct mechanics. The moving target aspect of this is great. Though it takes a little practice to hit the stick on the "way back." The kids really like it and it's fun for me too. Directions are excellent. The unit is heavier than I expected but guess that's what makes it so stable. Directions say to put weights on the legs or stake them down. We don't need to do that for us. Then again, we're only using 1 power band.
