I must strongly suggest that you stay away from the weighted ball program. I went through the program briefly while in college and felt unusual shoulder stiffness, so I shut it down. I have also watched a few high school and college teammates go down to rotator-cuff surgery after going through the program. While, I can not say with certainty that the weighted ball was the cause of the problem, but I do not want to be the one to find out.

Also, as you previously stated, I agree strongly that the increase in velocity comes fom the throwing program itself, not the weighted ball. My personal velocity increase from a normal long-toss and strength program was equal to my peers that used the weighted balls.
