IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE HEATER COMBO PITCHING MACHINE THROWS REAL REGULATION BALLS; HOWEVER,
THE ACCURACY OF THE HEATER DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY, HARDNESS AND TYPE OF
BALLS YOU USE IN THIS MACHINE!
TREND SPORTS RECOMMENDS USING HEATER PITCHING MACHINE BALLS IN THE HEATER COMBO MACHINE.
THESE BALLS HAVE BEEN PRECISELY CRAFTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH HOURS OF ACCURATE, TROUBLE FREE
BATTING AND FIELDING PRACTICE.
Heater Combo Pitching Machine Balls
Heater Pitching Machine Balls are recommended for use with the Heater Combo Machine. These
balls are incredibly accurate, long lasting, and produce the fastest ball speed.
Regulation Leather Balls:
The Heater Combo Pitching Machine works well with real leather balls; however, accuaracy will vary
more than with pitching machine balls because the seams on leather balls cause the machine to pinch the ball
differently on each pitch. Be sure and use real leather balls. Batters should be aware at all times.
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH SIMULATED (SYNTHETIC) LEATHER COVERED BALLS . . .
Simulated (synthetic) leather balls:
Simulated leather balls are inexpensive seamed balls that don’t work well in the Heater Combo
Machine. During operation, portions of the simulated leather cover comes off the ball and attaches to the
wheel of the Heater Combo. Also, during operation, consumers have reported seeing small puffs of smoke
coming out of the Heater Combo. These puffs are not smoke, but actual pieces of the simulated leather ball
being turned into small dust particles as they pitch out of the Heater Combo Pitching Machine.
IF BALLS GET WET, THEY WILL NOT PITCH PROPERLY UNTIL THEY DRY.
KNOWN FACTS ABOUT DIFFERENT BALLS:
The speed and accuracy of each pitch is dependent on the hardness, roundness, and type of each ball used.
For example: If you have 12 balls and four are softer than the others (these balls will throw lower than the
other balls), if four are harder than the others (these balls will throw higher than the other balls), and if four are
not round (these balls will throw inside and outside). THIS LEAVES THE USER WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT THE
HEATER COMBO PITCHING MACHINE IS INACCURATE WHICH IS NOT CORRECT.
