Pitching Tee Answers

Q:  How does the Pitching Tee help increase a player’s velocity?

A:  The Pitching Tee teaches proper pitching mechanics allowing the player to increase throwing velocity by using their whole body to maximize the force behind the throw.  The Pitching Tee and it’s attachments do this by enforcing proper body alignment, correct stride length, and power generation from hips and lower body.

Q:  How does the Pitching Tee help a player throw more strikes?

A:  The Pitching Tee develops a player’s pitching mechanics to increase consistency and control.  This is accomplished by enforcing proper throwing fundamentals and repetition.  As the player practices with the Pitching Tee, they are able to use the markers and various bars as visual and physical indicators that allow them to build muscle memory and self-correct when they find themselves out of alignment.

Q:  How long until results are seen using the Pitching Tee?

A:  An increase in velocity and accuracy can be seen in as little as one training session using the Pitching Tee for many players, but as with learning any new skills, results depend on repetition and effort.  Often it takes players several session to be able to retain what they are learning and consistency make better throws and pitches.  The Pitching Tee should be used any time a player begins to show improper form and mechanics as they are throwing and pitching.

The Pitching Tee is the premiere training aid for pitching and throwing because it allows players to build muscle memory and helps them self-correct when they find themselves out of alignment.

Q:  Who can use the Pitching Tee?
