KINGOFTHEHILL

 

I have never been a big fan of pitching training devices because I did not believe that one device could solve everyone’s problems but with the King of the Hill I was proven wrong. I was wrong because studies show (1,2,3,4) that the lower half is where most of the energy in all pitching deliveries is created. All the additional movements are unique to the pitchers body type and size which makes the King of the Hill perfect for everyone.

 

Have you ever heard a coach tell you that you don’t use your lower half? Well, know you have the tool that will teach you how to do this! The King of the Hill is the best training device for the lower half you can buy because it forces the pitcher to generate peak ground reaction forces closer to front foot strike which studies show (1,2,3,4) are the same mechanics of a high velocity pitcher. It is up to the pitcher from there to learn how to convert this elite lower half power up their body into the ball speed. 

 

 

The King of the Hill has its competitors but all its competitors fall short because they do not always force the pitcher to create the lower half high velocity movements effectively. For example, these competitors devices can help the pitcher move the drive leg force vector, ankle to knee, more linear during the stride but it doesn’t promote high velocity force production from the drive leg like the King of the Hill. These competing devices also do not promote torsion in the drive leg during the stride either which is the ability to stabilize the drive leg as the force vector moves more linear through the stride. The loss of stability can cause a collapsing drive leg which is devastating to pitching velocity and arm health. 

 

Just like with anything that really works well, it takes a good understanding of what to expect will improve when using it, if you are going to get the most out of it. This is why I love the King of the Hill because it works perfectly into the 3X Pitching Velocity Program which will teach you exactly what the high velocity pitcher is doing mechanically and gives you a years worth of training programs to help you implement it into your pitching delivery. With the King of the Hill and the 3X Pitching Velocity Program you have the best approach on the planet to develop not only effective lower half mechanics but you are guaranteed to add 5-10mph or more in pitching velocity to your game. If I was you, I wouldn’t hesitate on this opportunity to take your game to its true potential.
