With proper use, weighted baseballs can be an effective tool for increasing the throwing velocity of a regulation weight baseball. Many training studies using underload/overload baseballs utilizing large ranges of weight variations have been conducted (4oz to 17oz, with most being 5oz +/- 20%). In theory, overload-weighted balls (>5oz) increase arm strength, while underload-weighted balls (<5oz) increase arm speed.
Made of synthetic leather, protecting the weight integrity of the ball that can result from moisture absorption. The TAP® Weighted Baseballs are offered in twelve weights and are available individually, allowing the purchase of ball weights specific to an individual need or in one of three sets. The TAP® Weighted Baseball Set 1 (odd weight balls) consists of 3oz, 5oz, 7oz, 9oz, and 11oz balls. The TAP™ Weighted Baseball Set 2 (even weight balls) consists of 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz balls. The TAP™ Weighted Baseball Complete Set (all weight balls) is a ten-ball set consisting of ball weights of 3oz-12oz.
