The Batak Game has had an amazing journey through its development. The manufacturers have constantly developed and fine-tuned the units into what they are today. They are truly versatile units that now have a wide range of applications and continue to grow in popularity. Here we attempt to give a potted unofficial insight of how the Batak game has become the must have interactive game at all events.
Batak originally was not designed for the entertainment or events industry. It was developed as a piece of equipment to challenge hand eye coordination, reflex, and reaction speeds. This had obvious benefits for patients recovering in physiotherapy. It was widely used to increase and speed up recoveries. With a wide frame and causing extensions to the patients, in an activity that they could play at their own pace the benefits were clear.
It soon became apparent that this amazing principle could be developed to enhance the performance of professional athletes in high end sports. It became and grew into a sports training game that could really challenge the reaction skills of the premium athletes in their field. Primarily used by tennis players looking to improve their rection speeds it was not long before its potential had been recognised by other elite sports training professionals.
It was here where the name Batak came into play. Shortened from the term Bat Attack, where contrary to the belief that it was a tennis racquet or tennis bat, it was in effect the effect experience when people are attacked by flying bats, where the name came from. With swirling arms attempting to fend off the flying furry pests it was a similar principle as players frantically trying to score as many points as they can on the Batak game.
It was noy long before the Batak Pro was seen as the ultimate agility training activity. Made ever popular in Formula 1 racing as top drivers are seen regularly using the Batak to increase marginal gains. From Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button to today’s stars we have supplied Batak hire to all the major F1 teams and they continue to be widely popular today.
The Batak has also been adopted by numerous leading football teams. Perfect for goalkeeping agility and an integral agility test in club gyms, teams in the UK including Manchester United are regular users of the Batak Pro. We have even supplied Batak Pro hire to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. We can supply Batak hire to all locations across Europe.
The game itself continued to evolve. The powder coated frames and red buttons were replaced by stunning polished stell framework and bright white LED bulbs. The software and game programmes were developed into the ultimate interactive activity that it is today. Now with over 32 programmes to select from, we can certainly say there is game suitable for everyone. From the 30 second accumulator to target chase and from Simple Simon to Batak test it really is the most versatile reaction wall available.
With stunning looks it is where the Batak soon became popular in the events industry. It soon became widely popular for exhibition stand attractions and for all interactive activations. The beauty of the Batak is its simplicity. The game is simple – players have to get as many hits as they can in 30 seconds. As an upright game it really is the ultimate interactive game for all exhibition stand. Visibility for the players and those watching on is the key element to the success of the Batak.
Being upright is also lends itself to become the perfect branded game. We have developed branded backboards that will really enhance brand awareness and interaction. A truly remarkable interactive game.
