Our 2 New Full Wind-Up Portable Pitching Mound Game Models

A portable pitching mound is a wonderful addition to any organization fortunate enough to have the budget for.
It is an investment you will live with for many seasons so is one you want to make sure of before you buy.

I have noticed many new portable pitching mound product lines showing up over the last few seasons.
There’s good bad and ugly out there so how do you make an educated purchase?

Considering more choices than ever and adding those choices to even seasoned baseball coaches & athletic directors who likely have seldom if ever purchased these products previously… the purchase begs for education & explanation. Here’s my view:

Portable Pitching Mound Basics

Portable pitching mounds are divided into practice and game models of various heights & lengths.
Within those categories are smaller and maybe shorter practice mounds that do not allow for throwing to bases, PFP, or defensive drills.

Then there are the full game mounds that require the ability to pitch PLUS pick-off runners or spin & throw to bases & field their position. This means that they must be larger and have tapered edges on all sides and be as similar as possible to a real clay mound mix that pitchers are used to.

They can be built out of turf-covered wood, they can be fiberglass-shaped shells, or foam-filled models that are covered with some harder materials, all hidden by some grade of artificial turf & a pitching rubber.

Most combinations of these materials range from average at their best to downright awful.
But, because they all look good in the pictures, and the descriptions sound ok, you just cannot tell how well they will perform and hold up to heavy use… until you own them! What you cannot measure are their feel and especially their longevity… so how do you know that ours are the best quality? Keep reading!

WHAT MAKES OUR GAME MOUNDS  BEST IN CLASS?

It began in 1992 with an ex-pro pitcher who started a portable baseball mound manufacturing business!
Using top-flight materials with his decades-old baseball history & experience, he focused only on these products.. all built from his pro pitcher’s mindset!

These 2 best-in-class 10-inch tall outdoor baseball mound models both feature a polypropylene foam core that’s then laminated with a fiberglass base & then encapsulated in polyurethane plastic. And are then topped with the best real nylon turf in your choice of 4 colors.
The final touch features a pitcher’s rubber that outlasts the real thing. All this will give your pitchers a familiar mound feel & long-lasting performance too!

The engineered process allows for lighter weight & a reasonably portable 1 pc. design and now, an even more portable 2-piece design.
The 2 piece model stores easier and locks into place for a very solid feel! The single-piece model is best for more semi-permanent needs.

• About The Hi-Density Foam Core – The solid foam fills the interior, giving your pitchers a solid yet cushioned landing area. This helps reduce knee & ankle strain while keeping its true shape & preventing the sag & dead spots issues of some fiberglass-only portable baseball mounds
• The Fiberglass Lamination – This simply adds strong rigidity to the foam core
• About The Polyurethane Plastic Capsule – This final process seals the entire mound, protects a gym floor & reduces mound movement while preventing any moisture which can add weight and prematurely degrade the entire mound.
• The Tough Nylon Turf Cover – We use our high-grade nylon turf. It costs a little more but is vital and worth it for its longevity!
