Operation

• To increase the speed of the ball, turn the dial for a slower-turning wheel

(clockwise).

• To reduce the speed of the ball or to reduce the amount of curve, turn the

dial counterclockwise for a faster-turning wheel. REMEMBER, the greater

the speed differential between wheels, the greater the curve. Conversely,

a small differential will result in a smaller curve. Equal speeds will result

in a ball kick with little or no spin (knuckleball).

• A relatively straight ball can be thrown by maintaining a 20- to 30-point

difference between the speed settings of the two wheels.

DIAL SETTINGS fOR VARIOUS TOSSES

Figure 5, below, shows some typical speed-dial settings for the left and right

wheels of the machine. These combinations will produce the type of kick

shown—i.e., curves, straight balls and knuckleballs.
