CAN'T HIT THE CURVE? CHANGE-UPS HAVE YOU SWINGING AND MISSING? THIS IS YOUR INEXPENSIVE FIX!? XLR8 Your Game!

"HITTING IS TIMING This is the only product I know of that develops timing!"! - Rick Down, Hitting Coach for the NY Mets.

"We have a steady group of players everyday that hit the XLR8 Balls. They use their own bats, but the balls are a great hitting tool!" - Don Slaught, Hitting Coach for the Detroit Tigers (2006).

UPDATE: The Detroit Tigers set a Major League Record for most homeruns to open the season (2006) in a 3 game series!! The previous record was 10. The Detroit Tigers Hit 15!!!

Ivan "Pudge" Rodriquez goes 5 for 5 for the first time in his career!

**Don't be fooled by imitations!** The XLR8 Speed Balls were the first small foam ball on the market. Other companies can try to copy them but they simply can't.

The Patent Pending XLR8 Speed Balls were designed with a specific intent: How do we instruct baseball players to hit different speeds of pitches? Answer: Produce a ball that flies at different speeds! Previously, one ball could not accomplish this without some manipulation by the “pitcher”. Not anymore.

The XLR8 Speed Balls fly at different speeds with different flight characteristics when thrown with the same arm speed. Presto! Instant off-speed pitch training without any manipulation from the “pitcher”.

Now Mom, Dad, your sister or anyone else can throw great batting practice without any effort or knowledge about baseball. Simply throw the XLR8 Speed Balls and they do the rest. It's pretty cool when your Grandma can throw a changeup to rival Tom Glavines :-)

Ted Williams (named The Greatest Hitter of all-time) was once asked what the "secret" to hitting was. His answer: "Get a Good Pitch to Hit!" Well, what's a "good pitch"? Answer: The One You are looking for!!

The greatest benefit derived from these amazing balls is the art of learning the pitch count and understanding the probability of the next pitch based on that count. In short, you have the tools to know "what to look for" .. If you know it's coming you should crush it. As Ted Williams said... Get a good pitch to hit. Use these XLR8 Speed Balls and learn the pitch counts. No other product can duplicate this!

Because of the difficulty in hitting off-speed pitches we designed a Youth version to help identify the "off-speed" pitch. The “fastball” is white and the “off-speed” pitch is yellow. This assists the younger players in recognizing the off-speed pitch. The optic yellow color also makes it easier for the younger player to “track” the ball to the hitting area. The Adult version is not so easy.. both balls are white and the player must identify the speed by tracking the ball.

The soft foam construction allows a "pitcher" to stand or kneel somewhat close to the batter without fear of being struck by the practice baseballs. This allows for more accurate practice pitches. Additionally, these soft foam balls do not break as do the commonly used plastic golf balls.
