Ok.... Had 3 girls scheduled this morning... Only 1 could make it. Here she is.
14u freshman. This is her 4th lesson with me.
Shes slow for her age and size. Peaked at 48 this morning.
Worked on drive, posture, and resistance.
Final on the pocket radar at the end was 51.

This last clip show her learning Riseball spin with the queen placed on the front side.

Again she's new to me and my style. Was a HE kid, and still tends to avoid brush and not whip as much as we'd like. Overall she's making good progress, and I feel like using the queen today really helped her feel both drive and resistance!
3 mph increase today!!

Like using it for riseball.

Well..... 2 of my regular girls played this weekend.
Both went 3-0 in the circle, and both were reported as throwing harder than ever by their dads... I know that last statement is subjective to opinion. Both of these girls hit new high speed records while working out with the QUEEN.
I'm sold!
This thing is the real deal!

The company gave me another one to take to Louisville next weekend to give to Coach Pauly. I'll let Rick tell you his opinion after he has a chance to use it with with his students!

Thanks Coach James, I figured we were due for another follow up, progress post! It really seems that this thing would offer important and timely feedback that DD couldn't dispute.

I have not seen the clicking tool used in the second video. Been trying to get my daughter to be more aggressive at the point of release and think this could help. Tried to do a quick search and couldn't find one. Where could this be found or did you make something?

thanks

After about 3 weeks and approx 25 students, my final opinion of this product is WOW.
I love it. Every single one of my students have gained 1-3 mph in speed in just a few lessons with it. I can only imagine what will happen if they all used it 4-5 times a week!

Using this will really get her to FEEL what we mean by "push" or "drive"... Its not until they feel it, that they'll really understand!
One of Isaac Newtons 3 laws of physics states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That's the hidden bonus here. As the tension spring is increased, she must drive harder to get the 2 "clicks". If she drives harder, she now must resist harder to compensate the additional momentum. Its now through the magic of the kinetic chain that the ball is delivered faster.

I have decided to really promote this... because it actually delivers.
Feel free to call me with questions (765)914-3047

Dang, the rich get richer and the poor.... ;-) All joking aside, it would be great to have a few PC's in our area who embrace the pitching motion and techniques that we discuss regularly here. I'd gladly buy one of these and offer to share it with a PC that would be willing to up their game and learn more about IR, Drive Mechanics, etc... I know the cost is roughly equivalent to what we pay for a new bat but it all adds up. Guess, I'd better figure out a way....

Coach James, again thanks for the review and your assessment of this tool. Drive, detachment and timing is currently our main focus and I can really see (ok, maybe just imagine) how this device could aid my DD in gaining that little extra "feel".

Thanks Coach James and great to see that the DFP community is being offered a discount code. When I saw the product being utilized on an Instagram fastpitch profile that I follow, I knew that I had to bring this to the gurus of DFP for their thoughts. So glad that you had a chance to give it a real life trial so that we can purchase with confidence.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad the company chose to give someone on here one to tryout. That was a good move. When products work companies are generally willing to allow people to try. I am contemplating buying one and with the review I am more inclined to do so.
