BATTING PRACTICE
(cont’d)
SELECTING THE PITCH
NOTE: Vertical (Elevation) and horizontal (swivel) must both be adjusted whenever you
change speed or spin.
Always have the batter step away from the batter box before adjusting speed or spin.
BALL SELECTION
1. Never mix leather balls with synthetic pitching machine balls.
2. Be careful not to mix new with old balls, or balls from different manufacturers.
3. Balls must be consistent in type and amount of wear to produce repeatability.
4. NEVER USE WET BALLS!
Leather balls work well but will wear faster than synthetic pitching machine balls. Watch
to see that leather balls do not begin to soften from the great amount of hitting they
will receive.
Discard old or soft leather balls from your Junior Hack Attack batting sessions. Similarly,
discard older worn synthetic pitching balls.

head is free to pivot. A loose swivel
