Baseball Trainer

Dura-Band - Complete Baseball Trainer

Has proven medical science behind it - The University of Pittsburgh Sports Medicine Facility preformed an independent study with 160 AAU players ranging in age from 9 - 19 years over a nine-week period with two 1-hour sessions scheduled each week. Using the Dura-Band Complete Baseball Trainer as their key component, after only nines weeks players had:
- Velocity increase in rage of 2 MPH to 14MPH, with the overall average of 5 MPH
- Experienced less arm fatigue
- Decrease in post-throwing soreness
- Recovery faster after throwing
- Core strength increase on both sides (necessary for increased bat speed and power)

Dura-Band resistance benefits - Attaches to both the Dura-Band Baseball and Durabat to create the resistance that allows both of these products to provide their amazing benefits. Dura-Band is a design patented resistance band that uses a unique layering process that binds multiple layers together, forming a tough resilient band that is one-inch wide and thicker than traditional six-inch elastic resistance bands. It is also different than tubular or six-inch wide resistance bands as it comes pre-attached with a specially designed clip and band-adjuster. The clip and band-adjuster allows two important features to take place:
- It allows Dura-Band to be easily clipped onto a wire Fence or to D-Ring of Attachment Strap or Excercise Handle; and,
- It allows the player to simultaneously use more than one band, as well as adjust any band for an endless number of resistance levels quickly and easily.

Dura-Band Baseball - This patented adapted baseball is worth its weight in gold. Nothing on the market today or in any gym creates resistance throughout the entire throwing motion including at the wrist snap and release of the ball like the Dura-Band Baseball. Due to its non-rotating ball design, resistance is placed on the wrist and forearm muscles which helps prevent all types of elbow injuries. Rotator cuff injuries decreased also as the player simulates their own unique throwing motion with resistance, targeting their specific muscles used in the shoulder region. This targeted overloading of the wrist, forearm and shoulder muscles can only be duplicated and created by strengthening with the Dura-Band Baseball.

Durabat - This patent pending adapted baseball bat is revolutionary and provides training that has never been available before to hitters. The unique design of the Durabat improves a player's performance by:
- Increasing core muscle strength
- Increasing strength in wrist and forearms
- Increasing strength in lower and upper back quadrants
- Decreasing rotational injuries
- Increasing power at impact
- Increasing bat speed
- Assisting in alignment of hips, torso and wrist through functional movement pattern
- Ensuring wrist snap at impact
- Assisting swing path is kept on correct plane
- Ensuring correct grip is being used

Propricoception training - Through using Dura-Band and the accessories contained in each Training System, pitchers and hitters will improve their balance, a key to maximizing their performance.
- For Pitchers - will directly influence their ability to throw strikes and to accelerate through the throwing phase, which affects the maximum velocity they can throw.
- For Hitters - Helps to improve the players weight transfer during hitting, a key area to hitting that goes untaught much too often.

Increases compliance - Countless numbers of coaches have reported that anytime a player, regardless of their age or level of expertise, can perform their conditioning exercises while using the ball of their sport, compliance to perform their exercises increases. The Dura-Band Baseball and Durabat not only increases compliance, but increases the quality of the conditioning as the player is specifically overloading the exact muscles they use during their throwing and hitting motion.

Can be used by players 9 years of age through professional athletes - Each Dura-Band Complete Baseball Trainer comes with four Dura-Band Resistance bands. The bands vary in resistance including: extra light to light; and, medium to heavy. Resistance can be varied further by adjusting the length of each band or using two bands simultaneously. Children 14 and under should use under adult supervision.

Can be used indoors or outdoors - A Dura-Band resistance band comes pre-assembled to a specially designed clip and band-adjuster so there is not tying and untying of knots. Simply clip the Dura-Band onto a wire fence if outdoors, or use the attachment strap to create a fixation point to a stationary object. Indoors create a fixation point from almost any door by slipping the Dura-Band exercise handle behind the door, then close the door with the D-Ring protruding. A safe and easy fixation point is created and is adjustable to best suit the player's height.
