At the batting center on the fourth floor of MK Bowl Kamigamo in Kita Ward, Kyoto City, the machines deliver balls that can be adjusted to any speed, to the detriment of batters. Many batters swing and miss at the falling balls, which are like palm balls, and even regulars are impressed, saying, "It's hard to control the ball, it's so authentic." This may be the one and only place where you can experience the modern "magic ball."
