ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a ball throwing device having a main frame, a wheel support frame within said main frame, said wheel support frame having at least three projecting and spin imparting wheels rotatably mounted to said wheel frame at even intervals about a common axis. A motor is mounted adjacent each wheel and connected to their respective wheel for driving said wheels at selective rates of speed for each wheel. The wheels are adapted to receive the balls along a common axis between them and engage and project the ball forward along the common axis with the speed of each wheel being selectively determined to impart a selective spin to the ball at the engagement points of the three wheels with the ball-about the common axis, with the three wheels lying in the same plane perpendicular to the common axis to engage the ball simultaneously with one another for the projection and imparting of the spin to the ball.
