Oct. 30, 2014 0 70 posts | What Are The Settings? This question is for those of you that have or use the Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine. I just got one and I would like to know what are the 3 settings that you use for pitching slo-pitch softball? |

Extra thoughts, replace the 3 inch stakes with 9 inch tent pegs, once you have the pitch location correct, tent pegs on either side of heel. Total 4 pegs. |
