3.3 Controls Affecting All Thrown Balls
3.3.1
Balls/min Rotary Dial (Figure 3-7)
The Ball/min rotary dial decreases or increases the rate, or frequency of thrown balls per
minute. This control affects all balls thrown, not just the active ball. An adjustment of 0 to 100
balls per minute is possible. Turning the Ball/min rotary dial t
o the “0” position will stop the
feeding motor as well as the three throwing motors.
3.3.2
AFC Button / LED (Figure 3-8)
By pressing the AFC button, you activate the Automatic Frequency Control function. The red
AFC LED will illuminate on the control panel. AFC is useful when you have a sequence of balls
with significant changes in speed from one ball to the next. An example would be, when you
start with a slow, short backspin serve followed by a fast topspin shot. Or you have several fast
top-spins followed by a slow, high pop-up lob. AFC can sense this change in speeds and
automatically adjust the ball frequency so the timing between shots is more like the timing of
shots in a real game. Turn on AFC whenever you feel you don’t have enough time, or too much
time, for one or two balls within a drill, but the rest of the balls seem okay. Deactivate AFC by
once again pressing the AFC button again. The AFC LED will turn off.
