• 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.
