UPM45/50 Rubber Strips (2)

Still in transit 2 weeks after....

I have no idea why there are rubber Stripes other than to assume that without them the machine is too wild for some reason. Even with the loose one the machine was relatively repeatable with baseballs. Softballs were a different matter. It was really impossible to use the machine to pitch batting practice. The machine was too wild, I think it is possible that one of them wasn't properly installed at the factory. I also think that using only adhesive to hold them in place is inadequate, That you probably need a channel in which to mount them to hold them perfectly in place. It is winter now and I will not be installing them for a few months and I will likely try the machine without them first to see why they are really necessary. My guess is that they are necessary and that they were added to the original design as an after thought to address "wild" pitching, but I guess we will find out in the spring.

In another location I told you about the fact that the machine was far worse with softballs and suggested that the screw head that supports the ball be redesigned for softballs to give two point support for the ball, maybe even only an inch apart.
' Also, I have no idea what the statement below about "...judge me"s terms, privacy and content policies." means.
