The Rawlings Hollywood Impact Kwik-Release base compresses upon impact like other Hollywood impact bases, but with an added safety feature where the top of the base disengages from the bottom platform upon a strong impact, greatly reducing the risk of player injury. The orange platform of the base is equipped with a 6" stanchion on its underside for mounting into a ground anchor (sold separately). The orange platform also features soft tabs that interconnect with the tabs on the underside of the top base. The soft orange tabs are soft enough for players to slide over when the top base disengages. 

Additionally, there are two levels of resistance available - varsity which takes a stronger impact to disengage, and youth which disengages easier. Rawlings Hollywood Impact Kwik-Release bases are the official recommended base of the Babe Ruth League, Cal Ripken Baseball and are approved for Little League play.
