Great "Off-Speed" training tool Learn to hit the curve ball and off-speed pitch, develops hand-eye coordination, pitch count training "Hitting is timing. The XLR8 Practice Balls help to develop timing. Use these ball, be a better hitter!" Rick Down, Major League Hitting Instructor These foam balls were created specifically for players to practice hitting off-speed pitches. The two different densities of foam create different flight speeds with the exact same arm motion from the pitcher. The soft foam construction allows for more accurate practice pitches. Additionally, these soft foam balls do not break as do the commonly used plastic golf balls. In the "youth" version the balls are of different color to help the player learn to adjust to the different speeds with immediate color recognition. The "adult" version does not allow for this luxury, requiring the hitter to visually "track" the ball's flight to determine the speed. |
