Everything parents and coaches ask before their first hitting wedge session
What exactly is the Attack Wedge?
It's a slant board, perfected for baseball and softball training. It's a solid-steel angled platform that goes under a hitter's back foot or front foot to train proper lower-half mechanics. It has 8 built-in angles, folds flat with a carry handle, and was co-designed by Attackletics and pro hitting coach Casey Smith of Out Front Hitting.
How is this different from a strap-on foot wedge or a regular slant board?
Strap-on wedges are small fixed-angle rubber blocks; foam wedges are also fixed and they compress and slide. And typical slant boards are fixed at one angle and built for stretching, not swinging a bat. The Attack Wedge is a full-foot 14" × 20" steel platform with 8 adjustable angles, a non-slip base, and an optional turf grip layer, all built specifically for baseball and softball hitting drills and BP.
What ages and levels is it for?
Little League through pro ballplayers. That's the entire point of wedge adjustability: a lower setting suits smaller, younger hitters, while higher settings give bigger, stronger, advanced athletes an aggressive load to work against. The extra-wide platform fits every foot from youth cleats to MLB shoe sizes.
Does it work for softball hitters?
Absolutely. Fastpitch and slowpitch hitters battle the exact same lower-half leaks — lunging, drifting, collapsing the backside — and the wedge trains them to achieve the same fixes. Casey and his Out Front Hitting staff coach elite softball players daily with wedge work.
Can pitchers use it too?
Yes. Under the lead foot it trains the lead-leg block that helps pitchers convert lower-half energy into velocity, and under the back foot it builds drive off the rubber. It's a legitimate two-way training tool.
Which of the 8 angles should we start on?
Start low. A gentle angle can expose the flaw without exaggerating it. Casey typically begins rear-leg wedge work around the second setting. Move up as the hitter's load and balance improve, or drop nearly flat for first-timers and younger kids. The included quick-start guide walks you through it.
What's the optional brickdust turf layer for?
It's a velcro-attached turf surface in our brickdust colorway that adds extra grip under cleats or sneakers. Want the bare non-slip steel surface back instead? Peel it off in seconds.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Yes. It's designed to be non-slip on gym floors, cage turf, garage concrete, and field grass, and the solid-steel build doesn't care about weather or reps.
How portable is it really?
It collapses completely flat and has an easy-grip handle, so it carries like a briefcase in and out of batting cages, across tournament complexes, into the trunk between the doubleheader. The 14" × 20" footprint slides into any equipment bag pile.
