Can't hit the curve ball? Change-ups have you swinging and missing?

This is the #1 small training ball in Baseball and Softball! XLR8 Your Game with XLR8 Speed Balls!

The Patent Pending XLR8 Speed Balls were designed with a specific intent: To answer the question: "How do we instruct baseball players to hit different speed pitches?" Answer: Produce a ball that flies at different speeds!

Previous products could not accomplish this without some manipulation by the "pitcher". Not anymore. The XLR8 Speed Balls fly at different speeds, with different flight characteristics! All by being 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 Pedro Martinez's or a Fastball like Cliff Lee's... just by sitting on a chair and tossing Speed Balls!

Versions

Because of the difficulty in hitting off-speed pitches we designed the Speed Balls to help identify the "off-speed" pitch in the Youth version. The "fastball" is white and the "off-speed" pitch is yellow. The optic yellow color also makes it easier for the younger player to "track" the ball to the hitting area.

In our Adult version – both "fastball" and "off-speed" balls are white.

This is not to say that Youth must use one version and Adults need to use the other. The yellow color assists ALL players in recognizing the off-speed pitch. As any player becomes faster in their pitch recognition, we suggest using the white balls only.

Superior to Plastic "Golf Balls"

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. They can even be used indoors.

Testimonials

"HITTING IS TIMING and 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).

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.

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 Speed 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."
