😂 that's what happens when you buy a tool set off Wish.com.... My tongue got ahead of my brain there apparently.

@@carloscruz-oi7sx you're welcome.

Yeah.. it shouldn't be difficult to gently pull back and allow to fire. That probably has a lot to do with your front pulling up. I was mounting mine into a fairly hard surface under the initial sand layer of the field and even brought a hammer to help tap the spikes down a bit. That proved counter productive because the tops of the original bolts that mounted the spikes ended up breaking off and I had to find some replacement hardware to fix them. As far as movement side to side in the back I ended up using some long bolts that I had laying around and once I got it pretty lined up I would tap them in on each side to keep my left to right aim centered. It can be a challenge depending on field conditions for sure, may have to get creative. I am concerned you may not have something assembled correctly though of it's that difficult to release.. should be firm, but smoothly release with one finger

@@joeglogowski997 Thanks for getting back to my reply, I appreciate it! Good tip to bring some longer bolts to mark where the arm should be in the back and some longer spikes for the front. I thought of sandbags but that defeats the whole portability component. I looked over the assembly again and tried to loosen up some bolts but it didn't help. To me, It seems like the wedge shape that holds the bar down is too sharp of an angle. I can't get the lever to release smoothly from it. I will keep trying though. I'll post an update if I get it working better. Thanks again.

Sounds like a wrong part.

I only ever used it for hitting practice, generally used the bat to send the hard grounders and flys to the girls.

@@joeglogowski997 this thing works great for both pitching and fly balls, thanks for the video and response buddy!

@@apeape06 once you get the hang of setting it up, it can be adjusted fairly quick.

there is a chart on the upper guard that suggests what settings to use for each scenario.

Yes, it's not even worth messing with compressing springs on these. Done plenty on old hot rods and it never gets any less nerve-wracking.

​@@joeglogowski997Hello, bro, do the 2019 Jeep Compass change the same? I'm looking and the rear shock absorbers are very similar

@@dayllenmachin2205 Im not familiar with the compass.

@@joeglogowski997 I already changed them last week, it is exactly the same as the one you changed, easy, it only took me 1 hour.. thanks anyway

Don't believe there was a recall, I just ordered the part and did it myself.

@@joeglogowski997 So the part was so bad that they reengineering it but was "definitely not" defective. Figures as much.

I ultimately ended up having to replace the plastic handled part that tightens the cross bar to the base by re tapping it with a slightly larger thread and putting in a different bolt all together.

How Does this compare to the Louisville blue flame?
