We recommend each operator of the pitching machine spend at least 10 hours ad- justing the speed and angle settings of the pitching machine. The operator may even take note of speed settings and angles for future reference. We urge each operator to experiment with many speed settings and angles. While adjusting speed and angle settings, we recommend using a wide backstop with no person or object in the ball path while experimenting with many settings.
