[coachmatt]

Why do you want the machine to throw 70 mph?

In case they ever have to go up against Ukiko Ueno?

I thought maybe they were going to face Dani this year.

As cousin Eddie would say:

Nice set on that dog....

I know this is an old thread but found it googling and thought I'd give an update. JUGS actually recently upgraded the Jr to the BP1 Pitching Machine which throws up to 70 MPH.

All you need is a Super Softball circuit / control board.
The Motor is the same.

Put a larger diameter "tire" on it, modify the chute and throw away the warrantee. That ought to be simple enough!

I think that would have to be a smaller diameter tire, not larger.

Have your hitter move 3 feet closer to the machine and save the headache

I’ve attempted to convert/upgrade many pitching machines. My first one was the jugs lite flight. Like you, I asked myself the question, “Why can’t this machine do more than what the manufacturer intended? Why can’t this lite flite machine throw regular softballs? Well it does now. After a few modifications, we have a lite flite machine that simulates a semi-accurate, under hand toss pitch, with regular 12” balls.
