Softball on spinning rope

Sorry, but I don't know what else to title this one. I know I have seen the equipment with a softball hanging from a short rope. You hit the ball and it spins in a "Ferris wheel" motion. I have a small backyard, and this would be great for BP. Anyone familiar with this device, the name of it, and/or where I can get it?

Thanks.

I am. I have owned a hit a way. It spins around a pole like a tetherball. He's talking about the thing that attaches to a chain link fence parallel to the ground and when you hit the ball it spins around like a ferris wheel.

It's called the Hollywood Striker II Portable Hitting Station. Looks pretty stupid to me. The Hit a way isn't bad if you have a good post or tree to attach it to. It needs to be sunk in the ground though because a good hit puts a lot of torque on it.

Thanks - just wanted to see if I could find the name to do a little research on it. As for the hit away, that's the exact problem I have. Nothing really good currently to attach it to.

And to the individual who said I'm not "qualified to judge his answer". Go back and read/learn to comprehend. The guy mocked me for not thinking the hit away had the ferris wheel motion as opposed to the tetherball motion mentioned above. Thanks for playing, genius.
