The ball is thrown towards you from our pitching machine and you simply have to hit the ball as best you can – no skill or previous experience required!
Our advanced tracking system does the rest…
Suitable for ages 8+
No Protective Equipment Required
Easy to learn and enjoy!
The Technology
Our cutting-edge Hittrax technology tracks the trajectory of the ball after it leaves the bat, measuring velocity, launch angle and a whole host of other metrics.
Your hit is shown on big screens around the venue, as you compete on a virtual reality baseball field!
Compete with your friends, family and colleagues to see who can get the furthest hit – and maybe even hit a home run!
