Weighted Balls are an excellent muscular strength enhancer. Pitchers, catchers, infielders and outfielders that use weighted balls have shown a significant improvement in velocity, throwing accuracy and ball movement, after a 4-week period. Weighted Baseballs range from 4-12 oz. (Official baseball weight is 5 oz.) Weighted Softballs range from 5-12 oz. (Official softball weight is 6.8 oz.)

Injury may occur if caught by hand or ball glove due to the added weight of the balls. Weighted balls should not be thrown to another individual or hit with a bat. They should be thrown into a net when training for throwing accuracy or held in the hand when used as a strength enhancer. Choose weight of ball carefully. If ball is too heavy, choose a lower weight. Increase to higher weight balls only after strength condition is achieved. These instructions provide general weight guidelines: practice safety when training.

When starting, use the lighter of the balls, then increase one weight per six sessions with the ball.


WARNING
Training with weighted balls is a muscle-loading technique that is much the same as lifting weights. Injuries may occur. Use of any sports equipment and participation in any sport subjects the user to a degree of risk. Weighted balls should be used with caution and with proper supervision and instruction.
