Anyone have any experience using chain training w/ products like the torso burner? If so, have you tried to build your own?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

I have no experience with chain training but was interested in it. The problem I see is finding chain cheap enough to make one. I was going to buy a torso burner that has two chains on it and make it so the chains can be removed so you can hook it up to a bat grip and use it for swings.
What I also found out is the torso burner is the only chain training product that comes with instructions(DVD).

The Speed Chains are difficult to build on your own because of the type of chain used. The chains are variable resistance as the link of the chain gets progressively larger as it extends further away from the athlete. This is so that the chain closest to the athlete is smaller and lighter and can be moved more explosively, while the chain at the end is heavier and helps develop strength and power. Therefore, you can't simply get the chain at your local Home Depot.
Hawghauler, there is a bat speed chain that comes with chain attached to a bat grip.
If you are interested, all of the Speed Chain products and a number of training videos are located at: http://www.chaintraining.com
The site also has a blog that discusses the benefits of using the products along with testimonials from coaches and players who train with the chains.

Have you noticed any measurable improvements with your son from using the chains? If so was it bat speed, arm strength? I am considering getting this for my son to increase bat speed. Thanks

Sorry, we haven't used the chains. We have the Oates arm cables. Pitchers best friend I think it's called.
