Pitchers Power Drive

Increase Your Velocity by Using Your Legs! The Pitchers Power Drive is a pitching mechanics training aid that increases velocity and teaches proper lower body mechanics. Available in Youth and Adult models, in metal or turf. Used by High School, Collegiate and Professional Pitchers, this pitching aid is to pitchers what the batting tee is to hitters! The Youth Model is slightly smaller in width and length. The Youth Pitchers Power Drive is a 1/4 inch lower to the ground and weighs 4 lbs less than the Adult version. The Youth Model is appropriate for the size and weight of Little League pitchers and is designed to work with their level of strength. It allows young pitchers to create a natural momentum delivery while using their lower stronger body muscles to create power. It takes the pressure off the arm and shoulder and makes the transition to the bigger diamond much easier. The multisensory training aid gives young pitchers instant auditory click feedback and the kinetic feel of using their lower body muscles. This will aid in their early development of good pitching mechanics. Features Teaches proper hip lead, weight transfer & mechanics Improves efficiency and velocity Teaches through auditory sound and kinetic feedback Sturdy yet portable; Adult model weighs 18 lbs and Youth model weighs 14 lbs Choose between metal or turf models Has a built in handle to carry and transport Can be used on a house floor, flat ground, any outdoor mound or indoor practice mound Can be used with turf shoes in or outdoors and is easy to clean Includes a 12" x 12" anti skid pad for carpet or hard floor surfaces Used by countless pro teams and top collegiate programs Comes w/ free training guide & web based training How it Works The Pitchers Power Drive teaches pitchers to start their delivery from knee lift towards home plate by initiating the starting force with their back hip pushing their front hip out in front of the lead shoulder, This loads their weight back over the rubber for a solid standing foot contact. This weight transfers into the back thigh, knee and ball of foot to allow a back side initiated power drive. This initiates the kinetic power chain of throwing a baseball thus creating more power into landing. This backside power initiation with weight back creates more force at pitch landing by speeding the hips, torso and arm speed creating a more explosive pitch delivery. The pitcher's proper hip move forces the Pitchers Power Drive plate down and produces an audible click on the tee striker plate when the pitcher's weight transfers down the mound from knee lift position. This device teaches proper hip lead, weight distribution, and transfer of weight from the pitcher's knee lift position with immediate auditory feedback. You can have your normal momentum delivery off the device to a down catcher. for me and made my mechanics so much better." - Jordan Purington, Stony Brook University Baseball
