Reply to "Arm Conditioning/ Velocity Program"

The more folks I speak with the more skeptical I am abt weighted throwing programs _in a vacuum_.

They are usually part of a greater strength, conditioning, long-toss and overall health program. I don't think that throwing a 1 oz heavier and 1oz lighter ball by itself can necessarily help you or harm you.

Driveline is not just a "weighted ball program" per se. It's a carefully crafted strength and conditioning program for athletes who are already at a point in their lives when they are getting bigger and stronger.

If you build out a smart throwing program and include the weighted balls I'll bet it will help.
If you're not careful abt warming up, strengthening the arm and stretching, I'll bet it could cause injury.

Here is another simple one. Have fun and be careful. Your health is important!
