Heater Pitching Machine Baseballs
Heater Pitching Machine Baseballs are recommended for use with the Heater Pitching Machine.
These base-
balls are the most accurate, longer lasting, and produce less wear and tear on the Heater Pitching Machine. •••
Please purchase at least one dozen of these baseballs. This will extend the life of the Heater Pitching Machine and
improve customer satisfaction. •••
IF BASEBALLS GET WET, THEY WILL NOT PITCH PROPERLY UNTIL THEY DRY.
KNOWN FACTS ABOUT DIFFERENT BASEBALLS:
The speed and accuracy of each pitch is dependent on the hardness, roundness, and type of each ball.
For example: If you have 12 baseballs and four are softer than the others (these balls will throw lower than the
other baseballs), if four are harder than the others (these balls will throw higher than the other baseballs), and if
four are not round (these balls will throw inside and outside). THIS LEAVES THE USER WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT
THE HEATER PITCHING MACHINE IS INACCURATE.
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF BALLS . . .
Simulated leather baseballs:
These balls are usually a cheap, inexpensive baseball and don’t pitch very fast with the Heater. Because of the
plastic simulated leather on these balls, consumers have thought the Heater was shooting out puffs of smoke.
This is incorrect. The puffs of smoke were coming from these baseballs because every time they run through
the machine, part of the cover gets turned into small dust particles and makes the consumer think these puffs of
smoke are coming from the Heater, wherein reality, the puffs of dust (or sometimes thought of as smoke) are actu-
ally coming from the simulated leather baseballs.
Real leather baseballs:
The Heater Pitching Machine should perform to your satisfaction as long as you purchase new, real leather base-
balls. However, the accuracy of these balls will vary more than with Heater Pitching Machine baseballs because of
the seams on real baseballs.
