“Pitch” Height Adjustment Instructions:
Using Your Hit-A-Way PTS:
1. Wind ball once around pole (clockwise for right handers) and
pull ball and cord toward you. Fully extend cord and set home
plate down (not included) so that the ball is over the center of
the plate. Stand 2 feet back from home plate to hit the ball near
the thick end of the bat. If the bat can reach the adjustment
sleeve or beyond, you’re too close - move back.
2. With the ball centered over home plate, throw ball forward towards imaginary
pitcher until the cord winds up. The Hit-A-Way ball will wind around the
PTS pole 3 times.
3. Wait for the ball to unwind twice and hit the ball. If cords
unwind completely, do not hit the ball; catch it and start
over. This is critical, since swinging into the cord can
cause you to lose control of the bat. Keep hitting as ball
returns. (
Do not step toward pole after hitting
.)
NOTE:
Never stand closer than 2 feet from plate to avoid
bat tangling with cord.
4. Repeat and build a rhythm. You should strive for repeated,
solid contact. Hit continually for a minute and build up the length of your hitting
intervals as you improve.
