Figure 9. Catcher pop-ups Figure 8. Ground balls
Grounders (Figure 8)
Position the wheels so they point downward. The greater the downward angle, the
bigger the hop will be on the ground ball.
Flyballs and Pop-ups (Figure 9)
Position the wheels pointing upward. The greater the upward angle, the steeper
the angle of the flyball or the pop-up will be. For best results, loosen the ball chute
lock knob and remove the ball chute. This will then allow you to “push” the ball
into the sleeve.
The angle of the flyball, the pop-up, or the grounder, can be adjusted by loosen-
ing the handle bar lock knob (power off) and changing the angle of the wheels.
Different spins can be put on the ball by changing the speed dial settings.
WARNING: Keep hands and fingers away from tires and tire side edges of
ball chute. When throwing pop-ups, the operator must wear a
catcher’s mask. When finished throwing flyballs and pop-ups,
always reconnect the ball chute and tighten the ball chute lock
knob.
