Sports reviews of Sklz Hurricane Category Iv
Customer Review: Solid and Does Its Job
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Me: Dad with 10 y/o son in little league. Not an expert.
I was lucky enough to have a Johnny Bench Batter's Up batting trainer when I was a kid (1970's). Simple concept: Ball attached to flexible pole that spins around an anchored post when the ball is hit. It was low-tech but was a blast and durable. This product, Derek Jeter Hurricane, is a modern, higher-end interpretation of the Johnny Bench unit.
I held off purchasing as I found it hard to bring myself to spend $200 as I wasn't sure if it was needed or worth the price. But my son is loving his first year of baseball and is putting in the practice time. His batting is currently the weakest part of his game so I ordered the unit. It arrived in about 10 days using the free shipping.
* Assembly *
When it arrived I had my son do the assembly. He was initially intimidated but I pointed out that it only had a dozen or so parts -- far less than the Lego structures he's built. 30 minutes later he had it all together and was swinging away.
* Quality *
It's definitely a solid unit with a heavy base. We use it primarily on the driveway with no anchors. It stays in place un-anchored unless a large, strong person blasts full-might. It does have a simple and effective anchor system for the yard which we've also used.
* Usability *
The best part of such a tool is its "patience." Hit after hit, it returns the ball to the strike zone without complaint. My son has been able to develop his eye and work on solidly connecting with the ball. It's easy for a big person to haul it and out of the garage.
* Conclusion *
Sure, we'd still love to get a $1,500 pitching machine, cage, etc. But this is definitely a great value if you view it as a self-setting ball tee with some ball motion.
