The R2, formerly called the Rookie, is built for collegiate level defensive training. It is designed to be a more compact and portable version of the professional level R3 training machine. Both R-Series machines have the unique ability to rotate and pivot freely while the machine is on and in use, allowing you to challenge multiple fielders, playing different positions, one after another. Just like the R3, the R2 also allows you to achieve the maximum number of repetitions for any defensive drill, giving your players more quality repetitions than could possibly be achieved with only a fungo bat.
