The Steady Headz ® balance trainer forces players to have good posture and sturdy balance in order to minimize reaction time and maximize power. This is a simple, yet carefully designed solution to a problem that can’t ever be taught – it must be “felt”. This product allows all players to “feel” their balance (or lack of balance) and adjust quickly to the feedback it provides. It’s roots are in tennis, but now baseball players and coaches across the country are seeing the power of Steady Headz® training. Players that train with Steady Headz have “quieter” body movement at the plate and pitchers acquire a tall, powerful delivery with maximim energy being transferred to the ball (aka adding velocity).
How it works –
Players put the ring on top of their head as shown in the images and begin to practice – throwing, hitting, or fielding just like normal. When the Steady Headz® trainer slides out of position or completely off a player’s head, they receive powerful information and can adjust their balance accordingly. Repetitive use enhances muscle memory with a great result. Players will begin to position their center of gravity (cg) in an optimized relative location (More times than not, this position is “directly above the feet” at the optimal height).
