ThrowMAX Flexible Arm Brace

My 12yo daughter has good athleticism and power for her age, but she developed a hitch in her throw that we just couldn't break her out of. She would tuck her elbow and push the ball. I knew if she could fix her mechanics she could show off the rocket arm she's had all along. The difference after just a few sessions with this device is astounding! WAY more speed on the ball, and with better mechanics came better accuracy, and all of that is doing wonders for her confidence. Best return on investment on any gear I've ever bought her. She even warmed up my wife before her slow pitch game the other night, and my daughter had one of the strongest female arms out there. If you're on the fence, don't be.

We bought this for our son when he was 7. It worked fantastic for his muscle memory. Fast forward 30 years, our friends son had issues with throwing the baseball. We bought this for him for his 8th birthday. According to our friend, they are very happy with this training tool.

I have two 9 year-old twin boys playing little league. Teaching them proper throwing mechanics has been a challenge, particularly getting their elbows to the correct 90 degree position. They tend to keep it straight, and as a result they are not getting the velocity associated with proper elbow position. I've used video and some other drills, but when they are playing games they tend to regress to the straight-elbow position. Putting this thing on is a bit of a pain. I found the instructions to be intelligible; they could be better. It is pretty apparent if you have it on upside down. The sizing descriptions are accurate, it fit both of my boys well. I had both of them use it for about 15-20 minutes each. I had them get to the above-described throwing position, and they just concentrated on their normal throwing mechanics (stepping towards their target while rotating their hips/body). The ThrowMax definitely helped them understand how their throwing arm should feel when properly aligned and set (they both commented it felt "weird"), which I attribute to them not previously getting the proper elevation and 90 degree elbow position. The first 10 or so throws were clunky, but then they got used to it and started throwing with real velocity. By the end of the lesson they both indicated that they "got it," meaning they had experienced how a proper throw feels. We will keep using it to get them to muscle memory. This brace obviously does not address the other components of a fundamentally-sound throw, but in my experience the elbow-cock is one of the more difficult things to teach with young players. Overall it is worth the money.

Works as should

I coach my sons baseball team. This past year I had several players who had never learned to throw a baseball correctly. These players were pushing the ball. What that means is that at the release point their hand was behind the ball. This is usually due to the player not properly getting momentum going forward, opening up their upper body, and dropping throwing shoulder. When this happens, there is no accuracy, the player is not using their hips to generate arm speed and ball speed. I had tried all types of drills. The wall drill, towel drill, but since their motion was muscle memory, it felt right. It will lead to damage to shoulders and elbow. I got this and tried it on. It's not so stiff that you can't bend your elbow, but it provides feedback when you drop your elbow. I had three players who needed to start from scratch. Unfortunately only one (parents play a role in this) was willing to work with me. After 10 minutes of wearing the brace one player went from erratic throws to hitting the relay throw from the fence. He and his dad (who wasn't offended I wanted to correct throwing mechanics) did it the right way. He ended up assisting in several outs from deep left field.

Great product. Extremely useful. I had one 30 years ago. It worked then AND it works now!!!

This is great for kids who want to drop their elbow and end up side arming or pushing the ball. Used these for both of my boys and they hated it! But it corrected their arm slot and mentally made them want to throw correctly or else I'd make them wear it :) Probably good to wear an arm sleeve with this or it does tend to rub against the arm. This is meant to be worn in practice or during drills. So don't wear it in the game or you'll end up getting funny looks at best or (most likely) the umpire will make you take it off.

I had shoulder surgery a few years back, but have still continued to have pain when throwing. I use this with some red hot while warming up for the game. It gets my arm into correct throwing position. I have had better results using this brace than I have with 7 months of physical therapy. I have gained more strength on my throws and my arm does not hurt near as bad after using this brace to warm up. Getting back into correct throwing position has really helped.

小学生に肘の使い方を教えるは大変ですが、これを着けることにより矯正できるのは良いと思います

外すと元に戻ります。

投げ方の癖を意識づけるために、遊び感覚で、使用。常につけるのでは無くて、使用方法の解説書付きなので、自分に合った使い方が出来る。

フォームが良くなりました。装着時に、痛みもなく投げられています。

画期的な商品です。 付けている間は肘を伸ばしていられ、外すとひじに癖がついていますが、効力は10分程度なので継続的な使用が必要。
