Product Overview
The JUGS Long Feed Chute is an add-on accessory built specifically for the BP3 and SP3 Baseball Pitching Machines. Its 14 in. length extends the ball's visible travel path out of the machine, giving hitters more time to track and time the pitch, similar to seeing the release from a live pitcher.
The chute features a matte black interior finish that creates a strong contrast background, helping hitters pick up the ball earlier and more clearly. The exterior is finished in JUGS Blue to match the look of the BP3 and SP3 machines without adding visual bulk.
Installation is straightforward thanks to pre-drilled holes, allowing users to swap out the standard chute for the long feed version with just two bolts in under 5 minutes. It's suited for a wide range of skill levels, from backyard players to professional hitting facilities.
