TAP? Weighted Baseball

Weighted Baseball

With proper use, weighted baseballs can be an effective tool for increasing the throwing velocity of a regulation weight baseball. A number of training studies have been conducted using underload/overload baseballs utilizing a large range of weight variations (4oz to 17oz with most being 5 ounces +/- 20%). In general terms, overload-weighted balls (more than 5oz) are thought to increase arm strength while underload-weighted balls (less than 5 ounces) are considered to increase arm speed.

The heavy focus on specific weights led Oates Specialties to create weighted balls constructed of high-quality synthetic leather. This material gives the feel of a regulation baseball while 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 weights specific to an individual need, or in one of three sets. The TAP? Weighted Baseball Set 1 is a five-ball set and the lightest of the three weighted baseball sets offered by Oates Specialties consisting of 3oz, 5oz, 7oz, 9oz, and 11oz weights. The TAP? Weighted Baseball Set 2 consists of 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz balls. The TAP? Weighted Baseball Complete Set is a ten-ball set of all weights, 3oz-12oz.
