Throw-Rite Pitcher's Training Device
Learn the proper form and basic bio-mechanics of baseball pitching and throwing. Throw-Rite is designed to show "fluid arm motion" and to give players instant feedback on the correct throwing motion. The two leather cover regulation baseballs are connected by a 2" nylon rope. When the arm moves properly through the arc of the delivery, the top ball travels without touching the thrower. When the player starts to "short arm" the ball, the top ball will flop over to hit the back of the hand. Instant feedback! Can be used for over-hand and side-arm delivery. Used from youth leagues to pro players. Drill sheet included. Patent pending. Great for any player at any level: beginners that are starting out and learning the basics of throwing motion, and advanced players that are trying to perfect their skills until they become routine. When you throw and the ball hits you in the hand, it means that you are not using the proper arm arch and that your entire body is not being used properly.
When proper mechanics are used, the top ball will remain extended from the ball in the throwing hand throughout the entire process, (as shown in the last picture above). If proper throwing mechanics are NOT used, the top ball will fall back onto the back of the throwing hand. This is instant feedback that the arm was not fully extended, information you use to immediately correct yourself.
