WARNING: USE REAL 11" SOFTBALLS AT YOUR OWN RISK
It is recommended that you only use dimpled pitching machine 11" softballs to pitch to batters. Pitching
machines that use a wheel to throw softballs may throw softballs inaccurately because of the seams on the
softball and could hit a batter, causing physical injury.
For the PowerAlley 11" Softball Machine, the recommended dimpled softball is the Heater 11" Softball
(Model# PMB34). These balls weigh the same as a seamed softball, are incredibly accurate, long lasting, and
produce the best performance in the machine.
The recommended lite-softball is the PowerAlley 11" Lite Ball (Model# HSW11SB). These balls weigh half
of much as a seamed softball, are incredibly accurate, long lasting, and produce the best performance in the
machine. Use these balls indoor & out.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS TO BE USED BY ADULTS ONLY. MAKE SURE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF BEFORE
