 Excellent Batting Trainer January 12, 2008
C. Avera (Midland, GA)
We bought this trainer for our 11 year old son for Christmas and are already seeing a wonderful improvement in his swing. If he hits with anything other than a nice smooth swing, the "arm" bounces and it is impossible to hit again without stopping, but if he hits with a smooth stroke, he can just keep hitting over and over again. This is great because he can do it alone in the yard or we take it to the field and set it up over home plate for warm up before batting practice. I highly recommend this product as a trainer that will grow with your child.

Purchased for my 8 yr. old daughter that is on a traveling softball team..she really likes it...it is very easy to assemble and store and definitely shows you what you are doing wrong if you are not hitting cleanly..the manual also comes with drills to do to make them better batters..very good product that so far appears to have no drawbacks..it beats the heck out of chasing the ball all over the yard!!!
 Good product concept, but has design flaw. June 17, 2007

The hurricane is basically a holder for an older product called a "Hit-N-Stick". It also provides visual feedback on how hard the bat hits the target. The problem with my unit is that the power bands (bungee cords) that provide resistance, tangle with the height adjustment knob on almost every swing. The knob can be positioned so that tangles don't occur, but the knob drifts with each swing. So after a just few swings, the tangles start again.
I contacted SKLZ customer support by email (customerservice@properformancesports.com) a week ago. So far, no response.
The thing is usable but I am considering returning it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing until the flaw is addressed. The fact that customer service ignored me is also a big red flag.
Great for Timing and Power May 23, 2007

Comparing this to the soft toss machine I used to use, I find this is much better for timing, and helping improve your swing. If you don't have a level swing, and hit the tee arm at the ideal spot, it will wobble instead of swing. Its a great training aid for those looking to improve their swing, without chasing balls.
Good for hand to eye coordination May 21, 2007

I've had it for a few days, and it went together easily, and has seemed to enthrall my 10 year old little leaguer. He is able to spend an hour or so with it improving hand to eye coordination in hitting. I tried it, and I'm too old for this, kept missing. It seems quite solid, can be moved relatively easily, and can be used inside (had it in the garage during the rain). Had a problem with one of the hand tightened clamps not moving easily, and the company (Pro performance) was very responsive in shipping out a replacement part (which was ultimately not necessary), since the WD-40 fix ultimately worked. All in all OK, let's see how it holds up over time.
