Uses of the Atomic Ball in Baseball and Softball

Do you want to improve your baseball or softball players? Do you want to see them play at their best? Then you should consider investing in an atomic ballto use for practice sessions.

The atomic ballis a type of Total Control Ball (TCB Ball) that was designed to help baseball and softball hitters develop strength as well as power through their hitting zone. The atomic ball provides the hitter with instant feedback on his/her swing.

Developing strength

Atomic balls are heaviest version of weighted TCB balls. Using these balls allows players to get maximum drive through the hitting zone.

Building upper body and core strength

Atomic balls were designed for use in developing the strength of baseball and softball hitters. The ball however should only be used for Tee work or side toss only. Players develop greater upper body and core strength as a result of practicing with atomic balls. It is recommended that players start out with 3 to 6 hits. The maximum hits in any session with the atomic ballshould be 12.

Advantages of atomic balls

There are various benefits of atomic balls for baseball and softball practice sessions. These include:

1. Outdoor use

The atomic balls are made of durable material. They can therefore be used under any weather conditions. You don't have to worry about damaging the surface of the balls or reducing their durability.

2..They provide instant feedback

The balls are designed to provide the hitter with instant feedback on their hitting. If the hit is square on the ball or right on the center line of the ball, the ball retains its round shape. If the hit is off the center of the ball, the ball will change shape into a donut shape. It will then spin up or down depending on where the bat made contact with the ball. The batter will therefore know how to correct his hitting instantly.

3.  They can be used without the need of backstop netting cages

These weighted balls can be used without the need of practicing in a batting cage for safety. The balls do not fly far. They are too heavy for that. They will drop near the hitter. There is therefore no danger of flying balls. There is also no worry about balls spraying all over the field.

4.  They provide good strength training

They are one of the best strength training tools for baseball or softball because you can also work on your swing unlike training in the weight room.
