The NEW! Smash Attack Volleyball Training Machine Revolutionizes Training
The Smash Attack Volleyball Machine, a groundbreaking piece of equipment designed to elevate training from good to extraordinary. This isn’t just another training tool; it’s a comprehensive solution that promises to replicate every facet of the game, from the gentlest touch to the most thunderous serve.
The Smash Attack: Performance Beyond Compare
Precise Repetition Training: The Smash Attack volleyball machine is designed to provide variable angle sidespin to match the highest level of play. It will deliver thousands of reps in daily practice of serve receiving, digging and spiking. This machine offers a level of control and repeatability that was once unimaginable in practice.
Dominating the Serve: A New Era of Serving Drills
Serving: The Smash Attack’s new rotating throwing head, with 60-degree movement to both the right and left, opens up a world of serving possibilities. For the first time, a machine can deliver breaking sidespin serves, a crucial weapon that can disrupt opponent formations and create immediate scoring opportunities. Beyond this unique capability, the Smash Attack can unleash intimidating jump serves at exclusive professional speeds, along with potent top spins and floaters. It can be easily rolled along the serving baseline, changing the angle of serves and providing the exact serve release point that matches both the men’s and women’s game.
Spiking Drills: Realistic Challenges for Defenders
Spiking: The Smash Attack delivers the ball at realistic angles from over the net, mimicking the trajectory and speed of actual game situations. This allows for highly effective digging and blocking drills, forcing your back-row players to react with speed and precision, and your blockers to develop proper timing and technique against powerful attacks.
Setting with Precision: Nailing the Perfect Pass
Setting: The setter is the orchestrator of the offense, and consistent, accurate setting is vital. The Smash Attack can be programmed to deliver rapid reps of soft sets at varying intervals and heights, catering to all essential setting drills. The ability to provide accurate and consistent soft sets with no spin, at any angle and height, ensures that setters can practice their vision and execution in a controlled environment. The unlimited throwing head locations are a game-changer, allowing coaches to position the ball release from a realistic setting height, replicating the flow of live play.
Key Features:
- Infinite Throwing Head location (no more set positions): Counterweighted head with self-latching one-way bearing will allow you to instantly position the throwing head as low as the lowest setting drill or as high as the men’s (and women’s) net height…and anything in between.
- Limited Ball Wear: The 4″ wide, soft white polyurethane ball gripping surfaces and the contoured shape of the ball throwing wheels uniformly distribute the contact forces, limiting high wear contact points.
- Horizontal Throwing Head Movement: Allows the coach to point ball delivery in any direction, working straight on, in the seams or to an individual’s weak side to really extend any player’s range.
- Vertical Throwing Head Movement: The entire throwing head can be adjusted all the way up and completely down the mast to allow a full range of ball delivery heights. No more set locations, the Smash is infinitely adjustable and counterweighted for ease of use and safety.
- Full range of vertical movement coupled with the horizontal movement, means the coach can instantly throw the ball to any point on the court, creating game situations & challenging the players to perform in progressively more difficult circumstances.
- Ball Spin: Independent speed controls allow top, back or no spin while the rotating head design allows the user to adjust the plane of the ball in either direction. The illusive breaking serve is now instantly possible with the
- Portability: The extra-large rolling wheels provide effortless, safe machine mobility to any location on the court and the extra-wide base provides stability to accommodate power and breaking serves.
- Storage: The Smash Attack will fit through any standard three-foot wide door for safe storage. The throwing head can also be removed, allowing storage of the frame in the open gym. A machine cover is available separately and is used to protect and secure the machine during storage.
- Safe Operation: The Smash Attack can be safely operated by any assistant coach, player, student or parent. This frees the coach to be by the receiving players to teach proper mechanics effectively. No more yelling across the court. It also allows the coach to improve the quality of standard drills and to create new machine drills for every phase of the game.
Exceptional Training Machine Quality
- The counter-weighted throwing head makes lifting and lowering the head both steady and safe. Position the throwing head at any height along the mast- unlimited positions.
- The automatic one-way bearing prevents uncontrolled throwing head descent for safe positioning and control.
- The Smash Attack platform has a 16-gauge diamond plate, non-slip surface for sure-footing and safety during use.
- The frame of the Smash Attack is powder-coated, rust-resistant steel plate and tubing for extreme durability.
- The extra-wide base of the Smash Attack machine assures real stability. As the throwing head is raised, it moves towards center of gravity, further ensuring stability.
- Two powerful variable speed motors directly drive indestructible 4″ wide ball throwing wheels. Rapid recovery provides rapid repetition, no waiting for air-powered launch system to recover.

The Advantage Of Wheels
Advantage of Wheels
| Function | Sports Attack Wheel-Propelled Machines | Air-Propelled Machines |
|---|
| Machine Performance | 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 6′ to well above men’s net, over 9′. | Pivots up to only 6′ (well below both men’s and women’s net height). |
|---|
| Speed | Sets to 80 MPH jump serves & 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 metal frame encapsulated in a plastic shell. |
|---|
| Feeding and Tempo | Coach can control tempo by feeding continuously or delays. No recovery time is ever needed. The speed, angle and spin are instantly controlled by the 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 and Wear | New design includes specialized throwing wheels that are shaped to grip the ball with even pressure across a wide 4″ span to increase velocity and minimize ball wear. | No specific ball required. |
|---|
| Digging | With the Smash Attack the ball is released from above the net, a true downward trajectory at high speeds, providing unmatched spike simulation with realistic reaction time for the ultimate digging drills. | 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 & player’s 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 & 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 to be based on ball movement. | Player’s timing must be based on a small light seen from across the court and an unrealistic “buzzer.” |
