 IUseful but throwaway training aid Nov 17, 2007
By Able Devildog
"jackjack5"
The Easton Hyperlaunch is a useful training aid particularly for training young players. But it has one problem. The sling shot will either wear out or break after approximately 1,000 shots and Easton does not sell replacement sling shots.
While it is supposed to be able to launch a ball 200 feet, the most I have seen anyone attain is 100 feet. I don't know how Easton was able to attain 200 feet because juat to get 100 feet requries the latex sling be drawn back about as far as it can go.
While it can be used to launch both fly balls and ground balls. there is no spin on the balls so it doesn't quite simulate a ball coming off a bat But it will do.
In order for the coach to get the proper distance takes quite a bit of practice. Some coaches can throw the ball as far as the Hyperlauncher so it may not be worth the cost. It is much more accurate than trying to hit a ball with a bat.

By Gregory L Reich
This thing worked great for about 50 balls and than the nylon ripped.
I bought this without reading the reviews. I wont make that mistake again.

 Item is Okay May 31, 2009
By K. Mayes
Received the item in excellent time. The launcher did break within 20 minutes of the first use. We did return the item and received excellent customer service. We returned the item for a second launcher and so far the launcher works great. We did receive the second launcher with a whole in the sling shot materail and we are not sure if it is a defect or a whole that is meant to be since the whole has frayed edges.
 Easton Hyperlaunch Ball Thrower Sep 16, 2011
By mshan
Easton Hyperlaunch Ball Thrower works very well. It is easy to use and can launch very high pop-ups as well as line drives. A great tool for Little League players who are starting to see longer and higher hit balls. The balls are soft, so it's safer than a regular hard ball for training. The unit can pick up balls off the ground as well. I was looking for a ball launcher of some kind to help train my 10 year old son, and this product works superbly.
Good Idea! BAD Product!! May 23, 2011
By My3kidsrgr8
Bought this Easton Hyperlaunch Ball Thrower and liked it, until the rubber broke after a few 100 uses. After I found out you couldn't get replacement bands, I then realized I am now the owner of a piece of garbage! Very disappointing product from Easton.
