I began using this with my catchers a few weeks back. It is a great tool for teaching the catcher to work to the ball with "strong hands." The catcher is assisted by this tool from the beginning of receiving all the way up until the ball is received. One can mix inno-glove drills along with drills using a catcher's mitt. The CRT belt is easy to use and is quite easy to include with the catcher's other tools and equipment. It will fit into the catcher's equipment bag without taking up much room at all. It's a tool that is used at the MLB, NCAA and HS level.
My son’s pitching coach (who pitched at the highest level) has him use a similar product to “stay on top of the ball” at release. My son likes the feel of this product better since it replicates a real ball with seams etc. instead of the hard plastic like at his practice sessions.
These are great. We have both the yellow and red for softball drills. We toss up both and have a coach call out the color ball to hit. Being much smaller than softballs forces the girls to stay focused. Great product!!
