Description
ACCURACY - BATA machines have our unique Goodyear Rubber Soft-tread pitching wheels. The JUGS have pneumatic (air-filled) tires. Our Soft-Tread wheels are solid, die-cast flat faced treads, molded onto a machined aluminum core. The JUGS tires have a convex (rounded) pitching surface, and are mounted on a standard stamped rim, like those used on trailers. The faster the JUGS wheel turns, the more convex it becomes, and therefore less accurate.
DURABILITY - BATA machines are constructed of welded solid steel plate. JUGS machines are constructed primarily of sand-castings. Solid steel is several times stronger than sand-castings, therefore, we are able to make our machines much lighter (in weight), yet at the same time stronger. BATA machines weigh about 25% less than JUGS machines.
SAFETY - BATA machines have steel plates in front of and behind the pitching wheels. JUGS pitching wheels are are fully exposed. We also have heavy-duty steel plate in front of our motors to protect them from line-drive hits. JUGS do not.
