Rugby Pass and Kick Machine

Sports Attack Drop Attack Rugby Machine

The Drop Attack is a pass and kick machine built for the phases of rugby that are hardest to rehearse. True to its name it delivers a drop kick, firing the ball 40 to 50 yards into the air, and it replicates chandelles, also called the up and under, and torpedo kicks. Sports Attack publishes kicks of 70+ yards and a top speed of 70+ MPH.

A quick adjustment to the wheel position turns the same unit into a passing machine. Passes to feet, torpedo passes and spin passes run from 5 to 40 yards with consistent delivery. Two independently running electric motors give the machine its recovery time and the power to put a rugby ball anywhere on the field, so a coach can run lineout throws, restarts and defensive combinations without leaving the group.

Mechanism

How the Drop Attack Delivers the Ball

Four parts of the machine decide what comes out of it: the motors, the wheel tilt, the wheels themselves and the stand.

⚡

Two Independent Motors

Two high-powered, variable speed motors run independently. Sports Attack lists recovery time at 5 seconds and describes it as almost instant with two motors, which is what makes rapid-fire and multiple ball drills part of the Drop Attack's repertoire.

5-second recovery

🔧

Wheel Tilt for Pass or Kick

A simple, quick adjustment to the wheel position moves the machine between kicking and passing. Handles let the operator tilt the wheel safely and lock the throwing head into the position wanted. Sports Attack states there is no guessing and no tools involved.

No tools

🛞

Solid-Polyurethane Throwing Wheels

Solid wheels grip the ball firmly for a precise delivery and produce a tight spiral over long distance. The broad surface minimizes marking and wearing of balls, and no air pressure adjustment is ever needed. Wheel guards keep the wheels as dry as possible in inclement weather.

No air pressure required

🎯

Pivoting Stand

The stand allows the throwing head to pivot instantly in any direction, so passes and kicks can be placed at any location on the field. Elevation changes are quick, and the machine locks in when a drill calls for the same ball again and again.

Pivots any direction

A Closer Look

Head, Handling and Build

Throwing Head

One Head, Every Kick and Every Pass

The ball cradle positions the ball for either a pass or a kick, and the wheel tilt decides which one comes out. Move the wheel and the Drop Attack becomes a passing machine; move it back and it is delivering drop kicks again. Solid-polyurethane wheels grip the ball firmly, and guards sit over them to protect players, coaches, fingers and hands during operation.

Getting It There

On the Field, Off the Field, Into the Van

Those wheels are extra-wide, solid and always in place, so nothing has to be fitted before a move. At 90 lbs. without the stand and 115 lbs. with it, the Drop Attack fits in any standard SUV or truck for an away session.

The casting is aluminum, which keeps the head light, strong and weather-proof, and the frame is steel-plated for strength and weather-resistance. An extra-wide tripod base gives the machine its stability. Sports Attack states that all bearings are sealed and good for the life of the motor, and that the solid broad-surface wheels never need an air pressure adjustment.
