Elevate your game to the very top. Step into the box and maximize your reaction training with MaxBP Pro.

MaxBP Reaction Training is a next-level training tool that has been around for the past decade, working wonders for thousands of athletes from youth, high school, college, and all the way to Major League Baseball and the Olympics across a variety of sports.

The MaxBP

Athletes who implement MaxBP into their training regimen will get more reps and develop better vision, hand-eye coordination, and reaction times for the tough competition that lies ahead.

MaxBP Reaction Training serves as a great way to retain focus and concentration. The small ball training provided by MaxBP will allow any athlete unlimited reps of seeing, catching, and hitting golf ball-sized Wiffle balls. A few rounds of focusing on these small objects traveling at a high velocity will have any player ready to bust out.

Hitting can be contagious. And the very best batters around never lose their passion for hitting no matter how many hours they log at the plate. For hitters looking to take their game to an elite level, we offer an enhanced edition of the ultimate tool for building better batters. Built even stronger to last longer, MaxBP Pro has been designed and refined to improve hitters’ hand-eye coordination, pitch recognition, reaction time, and batting average.

The feeder has multiple settings for both distance and speed – from 30 to more than 140 mph – and a single charge lasts up to 8 hours. That’s twice as long as MaxBP Original and MaxBP Junior.

Not only does MaxBP Pro let you hit longer, but it throws fastballs and curveballs at four different speed settings – from soft toss-up to high. The "Triple Drop" feature means it can throw 3 times as many pitches per interval, making it ideal for bunting, hand-eye drills, and sequence drills like bunt-track-hit-track-bunt.

Set-Up Distance

The initial set-up should be about 30 feet. Once you use the machine you may find that you may want to change this distance, depending on your needs. If the machine is pitch too fast for you, move a little further away from the machine. If you want to have a faster reaction time, move closer to the machine.

Simulated Speeds

The pitch speed setting on your machine and the distance your batter is from the MaxBP pitching machine determines what reaction time you are simulating and what MPH pitch equivalent you're seeing during your training. Looking to train for typical reaction times at a certain pitch speed?

The Drop 1/3 Switch

The Drop 1/3 switch is located on the left-hand side of the control panel. With the switch in the "1" drop position, one ball will feed through the system for every machine cycle as it does during the standard machine operation.

With the switch in the "3" drop position, three balls will be fed through the system for every machine cycle providing rapid-fire pitching used primarily for bunting practice and vision drills, excellent for hand-eye coordination. Adjusting the position on the feeder switch will control the speed of the rapid-fire pitching. At the fastest feeder setting with drop 3 and no plugs, the machine will fire a ball every second.

When using the drop-1 mode two of the rotating holes in the feeder assembly need to be covered. Using the two plugs provided, place them in the two holes of the same color to prevent the balls from falling in these holes. The two plugs when not in use can be clipped to the keyring attached to the handle or placed in the accessory bag.

The Super Turbo Switch

The Super Turbo switch is located on the right-hand side of the control panel. There are two positions, on and off. With the Super Turbo switch in the on position, the machine will pitch the fastest speed when it’s in the high-speed mode.

Super Turbo is in effect when the on-off switch is either in the on position or in the Turbo position. The speed of the feeder will increase slightly and all other pitch speeds will also increase as a result of the Super Turbo selection. When the Super Turbo switch is in the off position the main ON-OFF-TURBO switch is in effect.

Balls To Use

The Wiffle brand works best in the MaxBP Machines as this is what the wheels have been designed around. We do not recommend using other types of balls with the MaxBP pitching machine as they are not only less accurate but can damage the wheels voiding the warranty. The wheels when used with only Wiffle brand balls will have similar longevity as a tortoise (80 - 120 years per Wikipedia).

Fielding Drills

Using the MaxBP to practice fly balls requires the use of the MaxBP'ss optional pop-up attachment because the machine can’t be tilted too far back or the balls will not feed through the machine. This is highly recommended for those 12 and under, a sure thing to save a few knots on the melon and build player confidence before transitioning to practicing with a hardball.

The Pop-up attachment can be added to any machine at purchase or it can be bought separately.

For ground balls, you can use the machine on the ground with a lower tripod and aim the machine slightly down. This also works well for cricket players working to hit the throw/chuck from the bowler.

The Light Dimmer

On MaxBP Pro machines, the light dimmer controls the brightness of the pitch indicator light on the front of the machine by turning the knob located next to the light. Turning the knob all the way clockwise will give the brightest light and turning it all the way counterclockwise will give the dimmest light, and on models since mid-2019 it can be turned off.

Practicing In Windy Conditions

The faster the pitch, the better your chances are of minimizing the effects of wind. Because it is a lightweight plastic ball, wind over 15-mph is bound to affect the accuracy. Additionally, pitching with (same direction) the wind as opposed to across or against will improve accuracy and add velocity.

The Pop-up Attachment

Using the MaxBP to practice fly balls requires the use of the MaxBP'ss optional pop-up attachment because the machine can’t be tilted too far back or the balls will not feed through the machine. The Pop-up attachment can be added to any machine at purchase or it can be bought separately.

This also works well for cricket players working to hit the throw/chuck from the bowler.

Included with the Pop-up attachment is an accessory bag, for holding your Pop-up attachment when not in use. This bag can clip to the machine handle, also great for Pro Plugs, charger, etc.

Extra Balls

Keep your gear organized and ready to go when it's time for practice! The MaxBP Wiffle® Golf Ball Bag is durable, lightweight, and fits over 120 Wiffle® golf balls. A front pocket and mesh pocket on the side offers a great place to store your charger or AC adapter.

Official WIFFLE® brand golf balls and the only balls recommended for the MaxBP pitching machines to eliminate the possibility of damaging the wheels and optimizing accuracy.

The Machine Bag 2.0

The MaxBP Machine Bag is durable and lightweight, fits your MaxBP machine, and 200+ golf-sized Wiffle balls. Keep your gear protected, organized, and ready to go when it's time for practice!

This professional-grade bag has many great features including ample padding to protect the machine, an interior zipper, and an interior velcro pocket great for holding chargers, cords, accessories, notebooks, etc. The outside zipper is YKK brand and very durable. It also includes a hand strap and shoulder strap for multiple carrying options.

Tripod

If you don't already have a good one around the house, we STRONGLY recommend getting one to go with your MaxBP. Having the ball coming at you from a comparable height to that of the pitcher's hand and ball trajectory makes for a much more realistic experience than having it throw from the ground.

If you do not want to purchase a tripod at the same time as you buy the MaxBP, you can source a standard photography tripod locally. We recommend a tripod because it will make the MaxBP infinitely adjustable so you can make minor adjustments in trajectory, even down to which part of the strike zone that you want to practice.
