I like it! No need to get caught up in what grip you may actually use in a game, since that's not the point anyway. It's a much better version of the puck.

While I have questions as to how beneficial this is compared to the hockey puck tool or just using a real ball, I'll buy one just because I'm an addict that must have every tool known to man! LOL
And I'd be glad to support you and your endeavor with this product. I'll post a review once I've had a chance to use it with several girls.

Eager to hear your review.

Thanks!

I think you will find value in it, if in nothing else the catcher being able to get it back to the pitcher at more than 3 feet, something impossible with the puck :).

IMO, the real value shows up when the student can accurately see the spin and experiment to self-correct, which a lot of youth have trouble with on a full ball.

Looking forward to your review.

Does it have bebefits for the overhand throw??

Yes, and side arm.

It becomes very clear if you're fingers aren't behind the ball at release, and the spin isn't straight backwards, or has yaw, tilt or roll. And because you can play catch at full velocity, you don't have to alter your throwing mechanics at all to use it.

The person throwing can see it for themselves, and make the small adjustments necessary to get the proper release, and transition back and forth to a full ball with no changes.

My next steps is to get video illustrating all of the uses, and how easy it is to see.

I also hope to get some independent reviews on here, so you don't have to take my word for it.
