Abstract
A ball projecting machine is provided with ball deflector for controlling the direction in which balls are projected from the machine. The deflector is movable from one position to another and is actuated by a ball being projected so that the direction of travel of successive balls discharged from the machine may be varied. The deflector has a mechanism for holding the deflector in a predetermined position until engaged by a discharged ball.
