Operation
Proper Position of the Feed Chute for Various Throws:
• Straight balls and Risers:
Position the feed chute level to throw straight balls
and risers by adjusting the vertical T-clamp. To
make the ball “rise”, turn the control dial up to 45
mph or more. Under 45 mph, the ball will move
straight.
• Slow pitch tosses
By adjusting the vertical T-clamp, position the
feed chute slightly upward for soft pitch tosses
(or higher for flyballs, see Fielding Practice). The
dial setting should be around 25 mph for slow
pitch tosses.
• Drop balls:
The legs should be in the “High Profile” position. Position the two
legs so they point in the direction of second base, and one leg points
toward home plate. (This is the exact opposite of the position of the
legs when you are throwing straight balls. See Figure 15).
One JUGS leg should be pointing at home plate when throwing drop balls.
When throwing risers, one JUGS leg should be pointing at second base.
