IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE ACCURACY OF THE HEATER SINKER PITCHING MACHINE DEPENDS ON THE
QUALITY, HARDNESS AND TYPE OF BALLS USED WITH THIS PRODUCT!

ACCURACY AND PITCH SPEED. THESE BALLS ARE PRECISELY CRAFTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH HOURS OF
ACCURATE, TROUBLE FREE BATTING AND FIELDING PRACTICE.
Heater Sinker Pitching Machine Balls
Heater Pitching Machine Balls are recommended for use with the Heater Sinker Pitching Machine. These
balls are the most accurate, long lasting, and produce less wear and tear on the Heater Sinker Pitching Machine.
For peak performance, please purchase at least one dozen of these balls. This will improve your satisfaction with
the Heater Sinker 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 THE HEATER
SINKER PITCHING MACHINE IS INACCURATE WHICH IS NOT CORRECT.
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF BALLS . . .
Simulated leather balls:
These balls are usually a cheap, inexpensive ball and don’t pitch very fast with the Heater Sinker Because of the
plastic simulated leather on these balls, consumers have thought the Heater Sinker was shooting out puffs of
smoke. This is incorrect. The puffs of smoke come from these balls because every time they run through the
machine, part of the cover gets turned into small dust particles and makes the consumer think these particles are
puffs of smoke coming from the Heater Sinker; wherein reality, the puffs of dust (or sometimes confused as smoke)
are actually coming from the simulated leather balls.
Real leather balls:
The Heater Sinker Pitching Machine should perform to your satisfaction as long as you purchase new, real leather
balls. However, the accuracy of these balls vary more than with Heater Pitching Machine balls because of the
seams on real balls.
