Hack attack machine has gone haywire

baseball mom20201,000+ posts

Our hack attack junior is 4 years old. Ive cleaned off the rollers with acetone as per the manufacturer, but the machine keeps throwing all sorts of pitches and many of them are not strikes. The company told me the nearest service company is in Atlanta and we are in southern NJ. It would cost a lot to ship it there and back. Tried calling a few local baseball travel organizations to see who they use for repairs but no one has returned my calls.

So- who would be the best to take a pitching machine to in order to get it fixed? I'm not sure calling a handyman would be ok?

Thanks for any input!

Are the balls in relatively good condition? If there are cuts or seams coming out then there will be inconsistency.

$180 for a set of 3 throwing wheels. I would clean them well and try it again.

But looks easy to fix.
