 Why not a curveball?

The only way a one-wheel machine can throw a true curveball is if the throwing head is turned to a 45-degree angle and the ball chute is moved to the bottom of the wheel. (For a fastball the chute has to be at the top of the wheel.) Unless both of these changes are made, a one-wheel machine can only produce backspin pitches that have a ‘tail,’ a tilted backspin ball delivery is NOT a curveball, despite what some competitor’s claim.
