Do YOU understand what you are doing?
It's like having your own personal pitching instructor - right in your own home.
My pitching book is now on CD-ROM with over 30-minutes of accompanying video. This may be
the best, most easily understood explanation of the fastpitch softball pitching motion ever produced. The CD-ROM plays
on your computer and puts an abundance of information at your finger tips in the form of an electronic book and
corresponding video. This exciting new format allows you to read about the motion, view the included photographs and
then watch the video segments which are related to the section of the book you just read. You can also print the book
out and take it with you. For less than the price of a pitching lesson, you can have the information for the whole motion
from the grip to the follow-through, right at your finger tips. Not sure if your motion is right? My CD will help you
review and make your motion more efficient. Do you know the "Three Points of Failure"? Are you clear on body, feet and
arm positioning? This is an incredible learning tool for all fastpitch softball pitchers.

The Game Face
The GameFace reduces chances of facial/jaw/dental injuries. For use in practice and in the game. Ideal for players with braces or glasses. The GameFace can help aid injured players return to play quicker by providing protection of the injury during recovery. It builds player confidence by reducing fear of injury during the game. GameFace is made of ultra-lightweight and extremely strong polycarbonate (the same material used for bullet-proof glass) and utilizes a unique honeycomb design, which provides superior strength. It is ventilated for cooling and provides for visibility. High-impact adjustable foam pads provide maximum comfort and protection and it has an adjustable strap. Approved by NSA, ASA, ISA AND NFHS.
The game gets faster every year. The pitchers throw faster. The bat technology is constantly improving to hit the balls harder. The players are bigger and stronger. All infielders should wear this protective mask to prevent facial injuries. If you pitch or play 3rd base, you are especially vulnerable to 'come-backers'. But all infielders run the risk of being hit in the face. Many states have already mandated that all infielders must wear a facemask. The reality is that bad hops and 'come-backers' happen in the blink of an eye. Facial injuries in the eye orbit, cheek, nose and teeth can be 'Life-Altering' accidents that impact you for the rest of your life...protect your kids. - Ron Holt
SIZING: Youth=head sizes up to 21-7/8", Adult=head sizes 22" and Larger when measured around the head just above the eyebrows.

More strikeouts! You cannot avoid the fact that spin=movement. More spin=more movement. The only way you are going to produce more spin is to build your forearm and finger muscles so you can snap and release the ball harder/faster/quicker. Here's the tool that will build the necessary strength ** in the shape of the release **. Speed is sexy, but if you can't move the ball around, you are just going to get hit harder as you get older.
The TIGHTSPIN Trainer
This tool is what we have been waiting for! A tool to specifically strengthen the muscles
in the forearm and fingers to produce a stronger release. A stronger release equates to more
speed, but more importantly, it generates a faster rotation on the ball.
A higher rate of spin = more movement.
More movement = less hits.
As a pitching instructor, I am convinced that movement is the key to successful pitching.
This tool provides resistance in the shape of the release which strengthens the muscles
for the specific task. And not only that, it reinforces the necessary muscle memory. This is the first tool that I can honestly say will increase your
number of strikeouts. If you pitch, the TIGHTSPIN Trainer will help your movment pitches more than any other tool.

The Perfect Circle
This tool is fantastic! As a pitching instructor, I am constantly reminding the pitchers to
keep their arm tight to their body. This tool is a constant reminder to keep that release point
tight to the thigh. It provides the necessary feedback to reinforce the proper motion and to help
keep that arm on the power line. I swear by this tool. It comes with a DVD to help you understand
how to use the product. If you pitch, you need this!

The Softball Spin Right Spinner w/ Instructional DVD
The Softball Spinner is a training aid designed to teach the spins and rotation directions of the softball. Endorsed by pitching guru's Ernie Parker and Mona Stevens among others, the Softball Spinner is a great pitching aid whether you are working on the basics of releasing the softball or the advanced spins of the rise, curve, or drop. Used at many of the top collegiate programs throughout the country, the Softball Spinner provides instant feedback to pitchers, catchers, and coaches. Although the Softball Spinner was originally designed for pitchers, many coaches use it to teach correct fundamentals of overhand throwing as well.

The Baseball Spin Right Spinner - $19.95
Like it's softball counterpart, the Baseball Spinner™ will help pitchers, catchers, and coaches
to better understand the rotation of the ball and what is required to impart that rotation. The
Baseball Spinner™ is the exact diameter and weight of a baseball and includes two sets of realistic
seams molded into the edge. Although it is used exclusively by pitchers for learning proper rotation
on a baseball, which is required for movement, it is also a valuable tool to ingrain the proper mechanics
of overhand throwing in all players. All pitches can be thrown with the spinner including fastball, split
finger fastball, curve, change, slider, sinker, and screwball. Following tremendous reception of the
Softball Spinner™ into the highest levels of training (including over 300 colleges, universities,
pro teams, travel teams, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools and many more across the U.S.)
the Baseball Spinner™ seems destined to make a positive contribution to baseball pitchers and players
everywhere. The Baseball Spinner™ has recently been endorsed by Dr. Tom House, former major league
pitcher for the Braves, Red Sox, and Mariners and pitching coach for the Astros, Padres, and Rangers
and owner of Bio-Kinetics, Marvin Freeman, former major league pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, and Sean
Lawrence of the "AAA" San Diego Padres. An Instructional Booklet is included in the package and an
Instructional Video is available for $9.95.

The Glove Radar - $79.95
ENDORSED BY KEN GRIFFEY JR. !!
The Glove Radar® is a small, inexpensive microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor which is attached to a baseball
or softball glove to measure the speed of the ball just before it is caught.
I've personally used one for 5+ years
and I've experienced -zero- mishaps. I was worried that the constant pounding from my collegiate pitchers
would disturb the electronic components...nope...after all this time, it still works.
Q: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GLOVE RADAR®?
A: It will assist in developing baseball and softball players' throwing capabilities by providing a
measure of velocity improvement which results from using proper throwing techniques. The Glove Radar® can
aid any player--infielders and outfielders, as well as pitchers and catchers, throwing from any distance.
This miniature device is worn on the glove of the receiver of the ball during practice, training, tossing
and warm-up sessions. It not only is a great training tool but everyone has fun using it.
Q:HOW DOES THE GLOVE RADAR® WORK?
A:The Glove Radar® is truly a microwave Doppler radar, not an impact sensor; nor is it a timer which depends
upon a precise throwing distance for accuracy. Attached to the back of a ball glove, it measures the speed of the
approaching ball a few feet before it is caught. It "sees" through the ball glove, which is essentially transparent
to the microwave energy, even though the transmission level is extremely low. Operating with power from a single-cell
three volt lithium battery, the Glove Radar® transmission level is much less than that of most conventional "wireless"
electronics control and communications products, such as cellular 'phones.
Q:DON'T OTHER DEVICES MEASURE BALL SPEED?
A:Radar "speed guns" used for sports applications are excellent devices but cost too much,
and are therefore not generally affordable for individual players, coaches and parents. However, the Glove Radar® is an inexpensive and affordable radar velocity sensor that fills this void.
Q:HOW ACCURATE IS THE GLOVE RADAR®?
A:The Glove Radar® typically measures ball speed within plus or minus one mile per hour of popular "radar speed guns"
adjacently located and measuring velocity over a comparable flight path. The most important consideration in using
any velocity sensor is to be consistent in its use so that comparative measurements are relative to those preceding
and following.
