You have one job – step into the cage and smash that ball as hard as you can!
The ball is thrown towards you from our pitching machine and you simply have to hit the ball as best you can! Our system does the rest…

The Technology
The smart technology tracks the trajectory of the ball after it leaves the bat. It measures velocity, launch angle and a whole host of other metrics.
Your hit is then shown on the big-screens as you compete on a virtual reality baseball field
Compete with friends, family and colleagues to see who can get the furthest hit – and maybe even hit a home run!
