The height of the launched ball is determined by 4 main adjustments:

 

1. The size of spring used in the machine. (Green Tee: 1 spring for Short Toss & 1 spring for Long Toss) (Black Tee: 1 spring for Wiffle Balls, 1 spring for Baseballs & 1 spring for Softballs)

 

2. The Angle of the Poptoss. (Angled straight up and down the Poptoss will pop at it’s highest. Angled down the Poptoss will launch the ball on a lower trajectory.)

 

3. Both the Anglar and/or the Anglar position. (For the Black Tee: Plastic Anglar will have less height and more spin and the Rubber Anglar adds more height and less spin.)

 

 

4. The Height Adjustment collar. (Screwing the collar up over the holes on the Chamber = Less height.  Screwing the collar down to open the Chamber holes = More Height.)

 

What does the Anglar do?

 

The Anglar simply screws into the Ball Striker and is what makes contact with the ball upon launch. The Green Tee only comes with the Rubber Anglar as it doesn’t need the lower launch for Slow-Pitch. The Black Tee comes with a Rubber Anglar and a Plastic Anglar.

 

1. The Rubber Anglar bounces the ball off the machine making the launch/distance greater.  It should be screwed in all the way until it becomes snug.

 

2. The Plastic Anglar is adjustable. Which means it can rest at different heights depending on how much or little you screw it into the Ball Striker.

 

• If you have it protruding above the Ball Striker it will have less spin and movement on the launched ball. (Good for simulating Fastballs, Knuckle balls and Change-Ups.)

 

• If you have it screwed down recessed into the Ball Striker about a 1/16″ below.  It will add height/distance and spin creating late movement in the strike zone. (Great for simulating Curve Balls, Sliders and Fastballs with movement).

 

• If you screw it down further into the Ball Striker it will decrease the amount of height/distance on the launched ball but will increase the amount of spin on the ball as well (this is great for simulating Curve balls and Sliders with increasing movement on the ball to all corners and parts of the strike zone).

 

 

What does the “Height Adjustment Collar” do?

 

1. Screwing it up to cover up the holes on the Chamber restricts air flow in the Chamber and lessens the height/distance of the launched ball by inches.

 

2. Screwing it down to uncover the holes on the Chamber allows air to flow increasing the amount of height/distance on the launched ball.
