Tips	Procedure: Set the apparatus up as shown. The supporting stick should be placed green side down. Placing the green end of the stick on the yellow dot (on the base of the apparatus) should produce consistent results. Quickly grab the supporting stick from between the hinged pieces. The ball that is on the end of the stick should land in the cup. The foam pad in the bottom of the cup will help prevent the ball from bouncing out. Works extremely consistently with a tennis ball and a billiard ball.
