• Every batter, after taking his/her stance, as well as between pitches, goes
through a personal readiness routine. The ball feeder should adjust the
pitch spacing to each batters’ habits accordingly. This will assure that
the batter is ready to receive the pitch and will also help to simulate live
action. The batter can then regard each throw as a separate pitch and
avoid becoming an “automatic swinger”. Generally speaking, pitches can
be spaced between 6 and 10 seconds apart.
Tennis Balls
Tennis balls can be thrown in this machine. However, you must first inflate
the tires to a pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Start with a 60-60
setting for straight balls and 50-70 for curves. (Regular curveball settings are
too much for the tennis balls.) Be sure to deflate tires to 16-17 pounds
for baseball use and reset the speed dials 35 digits apart before using
baseballs.
NOTE: for Polyball (Whiffle-type only) use: Set dials no more that five
(5) digits apart. Be sure to reset speed dials 35 digits apart before
use with baseballs.
BATTING HELMETS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES.
IMPORTANT:
If machine becomes wet during practice, turn off machine immediately, and
transport it to a clean, dry location. Dry surface water with a soft, clean cloth
and permit machine to completely air dry before next use.
