The motors that we incorporate are all made in the United States. BATA’s have a motor failure rate of less than one-in-a-thousand, but here's why it matters.
We bring in the fabric that we want to be used for our machine covers. They’re made right here in-house, but they'll last longer and it'll keep moisture out of your pitching machine if you use your machine outdoors.
The reason we put fenders over our wheels is if something were to happen and knock your machine over while it’s operational, the fender protects the wheel from possible damage.
We understand that things happen sometimes, we've seen pitching machines that have fallen out of pickups, and people call us asking if we can get their machine going again.
There are slight variations in any controller board, and there are slight variations in any motor. What we do is we go through with every single machine and we hand tune those controller boards with that particular motor.
The brains of the pitching machine are the controller board. It takes the AC current and converts it into DC. Essentially what that does is it determines the speed in which the motor is going to operate.
Every single wheel that comes in we run a durometer test on it so that we know we're getting exactly the right amount of compression against the wheel.
Precision and balance reduce vibration, so by producing a higher quality wheel it's less stress on the motors, controller boards, electronics, and even puts less stress on the steel components.
