Customer Reviews

Read The Instructions Before Use
Read a previous buyers comments. However, I still purchased this for my 7 y/o. Because of said problems, I made sure to read the instructions prior to use. (Yes, I am a man so y'all know how hard that was.) Anyway, the most difficult part of the Hit-a- Way Pole was putting it away. After the 1-3 minute set up time, my 7 y/o needed about 5 swings to get the hang of this product. 30 minutes later he and my 16 y/o had figured out how they both could use it at the same time. (Helmets suggested) 2 hours later I had to literaly pull my boys away from it. Two points to address from a previous buyer: 1) If you attach the ends of the cable to the pole correctly, the legs will not cause any interferance. 2) If you do not hit the ball correctly, it will not return, (unwind), properly. I would not call this a problem, but a training/use issue. My sons quickly learned that a bad hit/swing was very obvious, which lead them to practice and master the proper hitting technique. (In short, the ball failing to return was not caused by any part of the device, but by improper hitting technique by the batter.) It is a very well built product and it is easy to set up, take down and store. Because of its construction it is a heavy product, but the wheels aide in the ease of its placement and storage. I would recommend this product. Heck! so does Derek Jetter and Reggie Jackson before him. PS...I set it back up and took a few swings myself. Ok, a whole lotta swings, but don't tell the boys that their mom had to pull me inside to get me to stop. Remember how to be a kid again, have some patience, fun and play ball!

Solid product
First, I am a recreational adult baseball player. Our league is very competitive, so our gear is most often the best we can buy. I have used the hit-a-way ball for a year now with good success. I was forced to purchase the pole because in Phoenix, there is no round poles to play off of. The Hit-A-Way pole was very solid, which was what I wanted. I was afraid that hitting it with enough force would tip it over, but not this product. It is heavy as posted by others, but the attached wheels makes for easy transport. This is a great product for solo players where you dont have to rely on someone else to feed you the ball.

I love this product.
My son has been using the Hit Away for about three weeks now. It along with me pitching to him has increased his batting avg in Little League.
We also use a couple of other Sklz products. He is becoming a terror when I pitch to him. He's 10 and staring to catch up with my fast ball. Hit a way helps to develop my son's swing. It's probably not so much the power as it is the timing, level swing, etc. It is a very good product. The pole can be used for teeter ball or to practice a tennis swing (I believe there is a special tennis ball available?)
