POLL pitching throwing weighted ball

[RADcatchers]

Created this Poll and Discussion post to take a look at the use of pitching with a weighted ball.
Perhaps we can get a thorough response about this training tool.

How many pitchers use pitching with weighted ball?

Has it helped? How has it fit into your pitching schedule regiment?

How many have sustained an injury/issue from pitching with a weighted ball?

Maybe it was a pulled leg or groin muscle. Perhaps felt something in the back. Perhaps felt something in the shoulder or biceps, forearm or wrist? Maybe it occurred after the first time you used it? Maybe it was something that created injury over the use of time?

Dd uses plyo balls in her warm up and in between innings. She does not pitch full circle with them. They’ve actually helped her with her mechanics and velocity.

My daughter does a lot of drills close in with them isolating parts of the pitch. But has never used them pitching full distance.

If one of DD's PCs used them then OK and teach us how to use them.

I know nothing and her random coaches that did not either, she never touched.
