The Jugs Pitching Machine Wheel

The Jugs pitching machine wheel is also referred to as tires on the Jugs website. So please don't get confused when visiting the company website. Jugs pitching machines can either be one wheel or two wheels, depending on the model you choose. Each style has different benefits, so be sure to do your research before purchasing.

Once you have your Jugs pitching machine wheel going, make sure you take the time to properly maintain it. The machine tires or wheels should have 17 PSI, as that is the recommended PSI for all Jugs pitching machines. Also, routine maintenance of the tires needs to happen as well. Use 40 grit sandpaper (with the machine turned off) to get the wheel back to its rough tacky surface.

If you have a one wheel machine, you also need to make sure that your pad assembly (located above the wheel) is still soft. Once the rubber on the pad is hard or worn away, the ball will no longer be squeezed into the wheel, greatly reducing the accuracy.
