StrikeZone Manufacturing Progress - Batter Hip-Gear Update
about 4 years ago
– Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 11:21:13 PM
Hello Everyone - Wishing everyone a happy and safe new year. A quick update on the hip gear issue. We have manufactured the new hip gear and did longevity testing to confirm the issue we had with 2-part hip-gear is now fixed.
The next step (final step) is to assemble all the batters with this new hip gear. It should take around 5 - 7 days for the assembling to complete and for the games to be ready for shipping.
We'll send another update next week once all the games are packed and ready to be shipped. As always, for any questions, you can reach us via email at [email protected]

StrikeZone Manufacturing Progress - Batter Update
about 4 years ago
– Thu, Dec 31, 2020 at 11:20:50 PM
Hello StrikeZone Backers,
We hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.
We wanted to provide a quick update on the StrikeZone manufacturing to date.
All the game elements (Fielders, Catcher, Pitcher, Home Plate, Blue Monster, StrikeZone signature Balls, EVA Case, etc) except for the Batter are complete and packed. The batter was also completed, but during the longevity testing we figured out the factory made a mistake and did not heat seal the Hip Gears.
Instead they press-fitted the two pieces together. The press fitting approach will not last long, impacting the game play over time.
The solution is simple but since the Batter has already been assembled and heat-sealed, we have to redo all the lower batter pieces again to fix the problem. We are estimating the whole process to take 3 to 6 weeks for the game to be shipping ready.
Overall Game Timelines Estimate:
1. StrikeZone Game Manufacturing
1.a. Fielders, Catcher, Pitcher, Home Plate, Blue Monster StrikeZone signature Balls, EVA Case. [COMPLETE]
1.b. Batter [3 - 6 weeks]
2. Destination Fulfillment Center (US|Canada & UK|EU) Arrival [3 - 5 weeks]
3. Delivered to Backer from Fulfillment Center [1 - 2 Weeks]
We are probably sharing more technical details here than some of you might care, but in the interest of full transparency we wanted to share this information, so everyone is on same page.
The good news is that we did test play the game with all the newly manufactured elements and it is turning out to be even more enjoyable than the initial functional prototype we had developed during the Kickstarter campaign.
We will be sending our next update by mid-January (approximately 2 weeks from now). As always, for any questions, you can reach us via email at [email protected]

Hello Backers,
Hope everyone has been well and keeping safe!
Thank you for your patience, as we work towards making the StrikeZone game a reality.
It's been an extremely crazy month as we approach the last stretch of the project.
There has been lot of progress in production and shipping logistics and we do acknowledge that it has taken longer than we had hoped.
As of today, we are around 75% complete with the mass production. Please checkout the video below to see manufacturing of few parts in action:
We are expecting to be 100% complete with manufacturing by December 4.
The following is the timeline for next milestones after manufacturing is complete (after 4th December):
- Destination Fulfillment Center (US|Canada & UK|EU) Arrival : 3 to 5 Weeks
- Delivered to Backer from Fulfillment Center : 1 to 2 Weeks
We will be sending our next update in about 2 weeks from today, once bulk manufacturing is complete and the games are packed and ready to be shipped to Fulfillment center.
