"By increasing the strength and speed of hip rotation in pitchers, the Somax Power Hip Trainer eliminates arm strain and increases control and velocity."
Somax Performance Institute (web swing-speed.com/pitching.php), the world leader in analyzing, measuring and improving pitching mechanics, has received reports from two professional pitchers that using the Somax Power Hip Trainer has eliminated stress and strain on their arm. Both Independent League pitchers also report a big increase in control with the Power Hip Trainer. One of them raised his strikes thrown from 40% to 70%. Both no longer need to ice their arm after a game.
By providing resistance to hip rotation with its special, high tensile strength spring, the Somax Power Hip Trainer enables pitchers to effortlessly increase their pitch speed and reduce the stress on their arm.
"Inside every pitcher is a hidden speed multiplier: the 10:1 ratio of the 3" distance of their hip joints to the center of their body, and the 30" distance of their hand to the center of their body," says Bob Prichard, Director of Somax Performance Institute. "This means that any increase in hip speed will be multiplied 10 times at the ball. But since there is no natural resistance to hip rotation, the hip rotation muscles in most pitchers are very weak. The Somax Power Hip Trainer provides the resistance needed to increase the strength and speed of these muscles. The result is more pitch speed with less stress on the arm."
The Somax Power Hip Trainer is the only aerobic exercise machine to increase the strength and speed of hip rotation for baseball.
The Somax Power Hip Trainer adds speed, but also improves control by transferring work of powering the ball from the small rotator cuff of the arm to the much larger hip rotator muscles, enabling the pitcher to use his arm primarily to control the ball.
