Pitching machines are a great way to develop your catching or batting techniques. However, feeding the machine continuously can be laborious, repetitious, and time-consuming. A pitching machine feeder can help in this situation. You may automate the feeding process using a feeder, which will save you time and effort.
Gathering your components is the first stage in making a pitching machine feeder. A bucket, a PVC pipe, a cap, an elbow, a T-joint, an adaptor, and a drill are required. Moreover, a pitching machine is required.
Take the PVC pipe and link one end with a T-joint. Attach the PVC adapter to the opposite end. The feeder hole on the pitching machine should accommodate the adaptor. The cap and elbow assembly should now be fastened to the PVC pipe’s top. The hat and elbow should be facing in the opposite directions. Finally, secure the PVC pipe to the feeder hole of the pitching machine. In order to catch the balls when they fall out, place a bucket underneath the elbow.
A lacrosse backstop is as simple to make. A hammer, some netting, and a few wooden posts are required. Stakes should first be driven into the ground where your backstop will be, and the netting should then be fastened to the stakes. The netting can be fastened to the stakes with clips or zip ties. To stop balls from passing through the netting, be sure to pull it tight.
Finally, building a pitching machine feeder and a lacrosse backstop is a simple and enjoyable do-it-yourself project that can help you save time and energy. You can make your own automated pitching machine feeder and lacrosse backstop with a few basic tools and methods.
