Product Reviews

Emphasizes proper throwing form which allows you to zing a game ball around, but can injure you if you throw with poor mechanics

Play in a slow pitch adult softball league twice a week and have used these to warm up for throwing before games for over 10 years now. There are lighter weighted balls on the market, but I prefer this one because it is heavier than everything else I’ve found.I’ve found that the extra weight helps me focus on proper throwing form or else I’d throw out my elbow if I just flung this around, and it also helps me stretch my muscles a bit quicker than I would if I warmed up throwing a regular weighted softball.For adults who have never used this product, start out close and slow. I’m middle aged and my first few tosses are from about 12 paces from my throwing partner. Start out with a slow and exaggerated throwing motion, being sure to follow through and then work your way to greater distances to what you’re comfortable with.After about 15+ tosses, I finish my warmup tosses with a regular softball that comparatively feels like nothing in my hands and it’s a good feeling to zing the ball around the field in games afterwards.They do bounce funny (like those small rubber “super balls” we played with as kids), so I wouldn’t recommend warming up solo against a wall or trying to short hop them if your throwing partner throws short.READ MORE

Great Weighted Ball For Softball Pitching Drills/Training

The Cannonball comes in 3 colors (Blue, Red, Yellow). In the winter I take my daughter to an indoor facility to practice and for pitching lessons. The blue and red Cannonballs are difficult to see in the florescent light of the indoor facilities. Outside, it is not an issue. If you are going to be practicing inside, I suggest going with the yellow Cannonball.READ MORE
