Does anyone know where I can just purchase the ball part of the hurricane? One of my girls broke the ball off the stick during one of our offensive practices. I don't want to buy the whole machine again, I just need the stick part with the ball. Does anyone know of a website where they sell this part separately? Please reply

Go to the SKLZ website -www.sklz.com- then click on the baseball link. Find replacements in the column at left. You will find what you are looking for priced at $49.95. I couldnt find this part anywhere but here and I've replaced this part twice. Good luck
