Reply to "Ten Week Weighted Ball Program"

I happen to believe in them....however they should be done only in a controlled program, and AFTER weight training, long toss, and mechanics work. They are not a magic bullet, just one aspect of a total program.

I have the pdf of one done by a HS program if you want to Dialog me. Actually I will see if I can put it up on my Google docs and link it here for discussion.

The program I really like is one that my son's college program uses, which I believe is based, in part, on Ron Wolforth's. They consistently have one of the best, (and hardest throwing) pitching staffs in DIII baseball in the country. They use the sand balls of different weights and it is not just going out and throwing baseballs of different weights back and forth. Frankly it is a very detailed with reverse throws, and is phased. They use it to reinforce mechanics changes as well as velocity increase.
