Do you want to see what a HUGE difference the ThrowMAX
can make in 45 MINUTES?!?!?!

Check this out...

We recently had the pleasure of working with ex-MLB player and current professional instructor Bob Stoddard. Bob and we at ThrowMAX ran some throwing "tests" with a 14 year old pitcher to see if we could put an end to some serious shoulder pain the player had been developing.

It is extremely important to note that this player was/is the fastest pitcher in his league. He is not only tall but very muscular and powerful player with great talent for a player at his age level. Despite all of these physical assets and that fact he has had excellent coaching during his young career, he naturally developed some mechanical "glitches" in his throw that could have resulted in him having to undergo surgery or worse, stop playing at such a young age.

This type of situation happens time and time again where a terrific player unintentionally alters his/her playing style (usually due to body growth - especially common in pre-tee and teen years) which unfortunately more often than not, leads them to a shortened career due to injury. This is where the ThrowMAX comes in... We had this pitcher throw without the brace which we caught on video. We put the throwmax.com throwmax flexible elbow brace on and performed a drill we got from Tom House call the 'high 5 drill.' We do not know if dick mills, an internet writer, pitching.com, has copied this from Tom House or claims it came from Bill Thurston, but it sure works with the throwmax. There is a big difference right off the bat with this players' throwing mechanics, as corrected by the Throwmax and the high 5 drill, as can be seen in the early clips 6, 7, and 8. We then used the throwmax.com throwmax for a measured amount of throws, and finally, taking the brace off to see if there were any changes. As you'll see, in 45 MINUTES after this player used the ThrowMAX brace, he had the beginnings of perfect arm slot and even some muscle memory!!! In 45 MINUTES he had gone from throwing side arm to throwing a beautiful overhand 90 degree arm slot toss. The ThrowMAX may not work for everyone this quickly, but with a player with like this who had severe throwing difficulties, the results are astonishing because a coach/parent can witness first hand how quickly the ThrowMAX can save their player arm. Please note that we are aware or the player's lower body problems and chose to demonstrate the ThrowMAX fixing the arm slot first. We chose that teach. You will soon see a 6 month after video with this corrected. Please note the external shoulder rotation that occurs when the Throwmax is worn. You should notice that the external shoulder rotation is not hindered by the Throwmax one bit. It is important to also notice the elbow height in the last video shots. Although muscle memory is working on this player you can notice the elbow higher by approximately 2 to 4 inches.

As one can plainly see, there is an enormous difference between wearing and not wearing the brace!!!
