Ball Type Controls 

On the left half of the control panel there are 4 "channels" of controls - One channel for each of the four 
ball  types: A,  B,  C, D.  For  each  ball type there is a  control for  you  to set the speed,  spin, and  distance. 
Additionally there is a button at the bottom of each channel to select the number of balls delivered within 
a given "sequence" or "pattern". By pattern we mean different ball types linked together - for example, ball 
"A"  could be set  for  fast  balls;  followed  by  ball  "B",  slow  balls;  "C", topspin balls;  and  "D", underspin 
balls. The Amicus can create almost any  pattern you  can  think  of! (Up  to four  balls of each type  can  be 
delivered before delivering a ball of another type.) 

Try this:

 For ball A, press  the  ball  number  button  several times.(This  button is 

located just above  "ball  A" label.) For  each  green light that  is  on,  a  ball  of  this 
type is delivered. Up to four balls of each type can be delivered before delivering 
balls  of  another  type.  Once  the  end  of  a  pattern  is  reached  the  Amicus 
automatically repeats the pattern. 

Now try this:

  Using  the  ball  number  buttons,  select two  balls  of  type  A,  and 

three balls of type B (Note: there should now be two green lights on above “ball  

A” and three green lights on above “ball B”)  

If ball “A” was set (for example) for topspin and ball “B” for underspin, then two topspin balls would be 
delivered followed by three underspin balls, then the pattern would automatically repeat with the topspin 
balls, etc. 

The following table may be used as a rough guide in creating balls type to train with: 

 

SPEED 

SPIN 

Long-Short 

Slow no spin 

Medium Speed topspin 

11 

Slow, shoulder high topspin 

Short, mild underspin 

-2 

Long, medium underspin 

-2 

Long, heavy underspin 

16 

-3 

2.5 

Heavy topspin 

16 

 

In  general  when  setting  ball  types  you  may  want  to  set  the  desired  spin  and  speed  first;  then  set  the 
distance (which also controls ball height). [

training patterns
