Why Buy A Sports Attack Volleyball Machine?
Exceptional Quality
- Attack and Attack II platforms are 16-gauge diamond plate, non-slip surface for sure-footing and safety during use.
- The frames of the Attack and Attack II are powdered coated rust-resistant steel tubing for extreme durability.
- The extra-wide base of the Attack and Attack II insures real stability. As the throwing head is raised, it moves towards center of gravity, further insuring stability.
- Patented design of the Attack and Attack II provides full range of spins, effortless, counter-balanced rising and lowering of throwing head and a portable operator stand.
- Ball wear is extremely limited due to the soft white polyurethane ball gripping surfaces and the convex contoured shape of the ball throwing wheels that uniformly distribute the contact forces, eliminating the high wear contact points.
- Two powerful variable speed motors directly drive indestructible ball throwing wheels. Rapid recovery provides rapid repetition, no waiting for air-powered launch system to recover like with other machines.

Unique Features
- Precise repetition training. The Sports Attack volleyball machines will deliver thousands of reps in daily practice of serve receiving, digging and spiking. Accuracy and repeatability are assured in every drill, eliminating time wasting errant hits.
- Serving: A full range of spins is provided by all three machines, throwing both sharp topspins and breaking floaters to simulate match situations. The machines can also be easily rolled along the serving baseline, changing the angle of serves. The Attack and Attack II provide a realistic serve release point and can deliver a jump serve at international level speeds and quality.
- Spiking: The Attack and Attack II provide actual angles from over the net and top speeds to make real game conditions a part of every digging drill. The Skill Attack is great for digging drills on the same side of the net.
- Setting: Rapid reps with varying intervals will meet the requirements of any setting drill. Accurate and consistent soft sets with no spin are provided at any angle and height. Our machines can be set to release the ball from a realistic height, not unrealistically from floor level like some competitive units.

-
Horizontal throwing head movement allows the coach to point in any direction, working straight on, in the seams or to an individual’s weak side to really extend any player’s range. Vertical movement coupled with the horizontal movement, means the coach can instantly throw the ball to any point on the court creating game situations and challenging the players to perform in progressively more difficult circumstances.
-
Team drill machines for all ages and skill levels, Sports Attack machines will allow coaches to improve the quality of standard drills and to create new machine drills for every phase of the game.
-
Portability: Locking casters provide instant mobility on the court and stability during use.

The Advantage of Wheels
|
The Attack machines utilize wheels to propel the volleyball, not air to "launch" or "toss" it.
Wheels are by far the most efficient, most used method of providing ball control, spin, speed and trajectory and are commonly used on baseball, softball, football, soccer and tennis machines

Function

Sports Attack Machines: Wheel Propelled Volleyball Machines
|
Air Propelled Machines |
Location |
Throwing head pivots easily delivering ball to any location on the court. Spin, speed and tempo can be adjusted instantly between throws.
|
More difficult to place ball, must move the entire machine to introduce variation. Air propelled arm will not impart a spin on ball.
|
Release Point |
Realistic - elevates from 5’ to well above men's net, over 9’ 3”.
|
Pivots up to only 6’ (well below both men’s and women’s net height) .
|
Speed |
Sets to 70 MPH Jump Serves and everything in between. (Higher release point enables top speeds as ball trajectory does not have to arc to clear net height.)
|
Sets, tosses and claims“hard” spikes and serves, but no actual speed is stated. (lower release point requires ball to arc in order to clear net height)
|
Durability |
Few moving parts, heavy duty welded powder-coated steel frame.
|
Complicated air pressure system installed in welded steel frame encapsulated in a molded polyethylene (i.e. plastic) shell.
|
Feeding & Tempo |
Machines will fire a ball as fast as you can feed it, no recovery time is ever needed. The speed, angle and spin is instantly controlled by coach with each serve, set or spike.
|
Air-propelled machine can be set to toss up to 1100 balls per hour (one ball every 3.28 seconds). However, recovery time is necessary after rapid fire of 8 –10 balls.
|
Ball Use & Wear |
No special ball required. No tearing or cutting of balls.
|
No special ball required.
|
Digging |
With the Attack and Attack II the ball is released from above the net, a true downward trajectory at high speeds, and provides unmatched spike simulation with realistic reaction time for the ultimate digging drills.
|
Air-propelled machine is not capable of delivering a true spike over a regulation net. Spike drill must be performed from same side of net, below net height, severely limiting ball travel distance and players reaction time.
|
Serving |
Up to Jump Serve speeds and release point. Breaking top spins and floaters.
|
No spin limits serve to a simple floater. Low release point requires an arc to clear net and slower speeds to keep in court.
|
Visibility |
Can see the ball from feed to delivery, providing a true sense of timing. True visual timing has tbe based on ball movement.
|
Player timing must be based on a small light seen from across the court and a unrealistic “buzzer”.
