| Hitting
and throwing require Ballistic Training. Swinging and throwing
require muscle acceleration through the entire motion. This is why
coaches stress following through. Exercises that let the muscle accelerate
all the way through range of motion are called “ballistic exercises”.
Ballistic training requires equipment and exercises specifically designed
for hitting and throwing. SETPRO has a complete line of ballistic
training equipment.
Smart
power ballistic training tools.
SETPRO
offers several swing training tools. These tools meet the training
principle of "specificity". The specificity principle
of training says that for maximum ballistic benefit, you must train
using the same motions and speeds as the athletic event that you
are trying to get better at. For a hitter this means swing training.
You must also stress the muscle and nervous system beyond what it
is used to. That's what swing training and feedback is 'all about".
All
of our products are designed to work together. SMART POWER COMPUTERS/TRAINERS
work with POWER SWING which work with PROCUT which work with...
and so on. The word used to describe this is synergy. Synergy means
1+1=3. If you use POWER SWINGS you improve. If you use PROCUT you
improve. IF you use POWER SWINGS and PROCUT you improve even more
and faster. If you use POWER SWINGS and PROCUT and SPRT5A REACTION
TRAINER you greatly improve.
 POWER
SWING; WEIGHT + AIR RESISTANCE = SWING STRENGTH. To develop
fast muscle fibers, you must overload them. To develop the fast
muscles that are used for swinging a bat, you need to overload them
using a swing motion. POWER SWINGS are used with your regular bat
to overload the muscles used to swing a bat. Comes with complete
training information.
 PROCUT;
ADD “POP” TO YOUR SWING. One of the newest and most
exciting developments. We tested PROCUT for a year before adding
it to our system. PROCUT attaches to the KNOB (bottom) of the bat.
This changes the balance point of the bat. When you swing, PROCUT
provides resistance at the beginning of the swing PROCUT then helps
keep the head of the bat from rotating out (sweeping) until your
body is fully rotated. Then PROCUT POPS the wrists. This trains
the muscle memory to release at the exact instant of maximum power.
Our tests show that you can put a 12 ounce PROCUT on the knob of
your bat and ADD 5 MPH to your swing speed! When use with POWER
SWINGS, is a great 1-2 training combination.
 SPEED
BAT; A bat designed to your exact needs for overspeed training.
Overspeed training is as important as overload training. The muscles
learn how to be strong at the speed that they train at. If you always
swing at or below your regular bat speed, your muscles won’t
know how to go faster. By using a lighter bat (about 30% lighter)
you get them to still have a load but they learn how to go faster.
Using a wiffle ball bat does not work. It’s too light. Yes
you swing fast, but because the load (weight of bat) is so light,
there is no strength at this speed. As soon as you load the muscles
up (use your regular bat), that speed goes away. Tell us the length
and weight of your regular bat, and we will customize SPEED BAT
to your individual needs. Remember all swing training requires overload
AND overspeed training.
 MEDICINE
BALLS; use for strength to power conversion. With the discovery
of weight training. medicine ball training was forgotten. Then the
Russians and East Europeans started using plyometrics. Medicine
ball training is an important tool for plyometric training. Now
all serious baseball players use medicine ball training. But you
must know how to use the medicine ball for best results. A recent
study on improving throwing speed, compared two groups of experienced
baseball players ages 19-24. One group did two heavy (80 percent
of their maximum capability) weight training exercises. The other
group did two of the more popular medicine ball training exercises.
After 8 weeks of training, the medicine ball trained group showed
no throwing speed improvement. The weight trained group showed 2-3
MPH increase. Two important points of the study: (1) heavy weight
training is important to pitchers. (2) when medicine ball training
exercises are not properly chosen, medicine ball training may be
of little benefit. We supply a complete medicine ball training guide
for hitters and pitchers.
 POWER
BAT; sport specific swing resistance training. We have great
success with resistance tube training. It provides overload and
range of motion training at the same time. Younger players not on
a formal weight training
