Spring Pad

How it works

• A spring pad launches anything that lands on its plate, at the same speed every time.
• Size and weight do not matter: a tennis ball and an anvil leave at the same speed.
• It throws along the direction the plate faces, so turn it to aim.
• A ball can be launched again after a short pause, so a ball dropped on a flat pad keeps bouncing.

Tips

• Tilt the pad to throw a ball sideways. The throw goes furthest at about 45 degrees; tilted more, it flies lower and lands shorter.
• A ball bouncing on a flat spring never stops by itself, so catch it or move it on.
