The IsoBaseball Arm Trainer is a Cure-All to the catcher that reaches back and has a long arm path. This path is usually created from catchers playing different positions like outfield and pitcher when they are developing as a player in the younger years. We are not trying to tell everyone to give up on those positions (we won't have a game anymore). We are simply saying, when you choose to catch and make that your primary position, you need this training tool. It has a magnetic release and it easy to use. I wouldn't promote a product unless it was. Visit IsoBaseball.com for more information and to purchase.
"I have been working for the past few years to gather all of my catching knowledge in one place...and it’s finished! Everything that is in this book I have learned from coaching at a top 25 NCAA Division I program (University of Louisville) that has been to
the College World Series in 2007, playing professional baseball in the Atlanta Braves organization, and playing in a top 10 ranked NCAA Division I college program at the University of Mississippi."

It also breaks down stats and gives

The Catcher's Thumb works by protecting the second joint in the thumb from hyper-extending (getting "thumbed"). Most catchers get "thumbed" when a ball is foul tipped directly back into your thumb, either causing a hyper-extension or a bruise.
Any catcher who has been "thumbed" before will tell you that this is a nagging injury that could last an entire season. Not only does the Catcher's Thumb help players who havec already been "thumbed", it helps prevent the injury from ever occuring.
Our goal is to help catchers of all ages prevent an injury that could keep you out of the game!

"Coach Weaver is teaching players how to be the best defensive catchers in their respective leagues. His drills were in depth but easy to understand. With repeated practice, these drills lead a catcher to have FAR fewer passed balls, accurate and consistent throws, and a pitcher with full confidence in his backstop. A solid catcher is a leader on the field that a team can be built around. Any coach that desires to have full confidence in their catcher should buy the DVD."
