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-Handle. 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-Handle, position the
feed chute slightly upward for soft pitch tosses (or
higher for fly balls, 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 (Figure 12.)
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.
