XLR8 Balls

Model XLR8 Speed Balls

"HITTING IS TIMING, This is the only product I know of that develops timing!" - Rick Down, Hitting Coach for the NY Mets.

 

“We have a steady group of players everyday that hit the XLR8 Balls. They use their own bats, but the balls are a great hitting tool!” - Don Slaught, Hitting Coach for the Detroit Tigers (2006).


"An outstanding compliment to our hitting stations!" - Sue Enquist UCLA Softball

 

These practice balls fly through the air at different speeds when pitched with the same arm speed. The XLR8 balls are the only product in the world that develop timing for the hitter.

 

The XLR8 Speed Balls were designed with a specific intent: How do we instruct baseball players to hit different speeds of pitches? Answer: Produce a ball that flies at different speeds! Previously, one ball could not accomplish this without some manipulation by the “pitcher”. Not anymore.

 

The XLR8 Speed Balls fly at different speeds with different flight characteristics when thrown with the same arm speed. Presto! Instant off-speed pitch training without any manipulation from the “pitcher”.

 

Now Mom, Dad, your sister or anyone else can throw great batting practice without any effort or knowledge about baseball. Simply throw the XLR8 Speed Balls and they do the rest.

 

Because of the difficulty in hitting off-speed pitches we designed a Youth version of differing colors. The “fastball” is white and the “off-speed” pitch is yellow. This assists the younger players in recognizing the off-speed pitch. The optic yellow color also makes it easier for the younger player to “track” the ball to the hitting area.

UPDATE: The Detroit Tigers set a Major League Record for most homeruns to open the season (2006) in a 3 game series!! The previous record was 10. The Detroit Tigers Hit 15!!!

The soft foam construction allows a "pitcher" to stand or kneel somewhat close to the batter without fear of being struck by the practice baseballs. This allows for more accurate practice pitches. Additionally, these soft foam balls do not break as do the commonly used plastic golf balls.
