Troubleshooting
Ball is difficult to catch consistently.
Start with smaller, slower swings and gradually increase speed and amplitude as you become more comfortable. Ensure you are standing at an appropriate distance from the ball's arc.
String seems to be tangling.
Ensure the ball is swung smoothly and not erratically. When not in use, let the string hang loosely or gently coil it around the cup without tightening.
Ball or cup appears dirty.
Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe again with a clean damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.
