How the Velocity Bat™ Works
What is the Velocity Bat™?
Two special bats and a most unique workout protocol.
Every Velocity Bat™ set contains a pair of bats, one heavy and one light, and our unique workout protocol. The workout protocol includes techniques and instructions for how to use the bats in conjunction with your regular workout routine. Most users say it takes about 4-6 weeks to see clear, tangible and often dramatic results.
Why it works: Balanced Strength
By balancing accelerator and decelerator muscles, you increase speed and reduce the risk of injury.
In the conditioning world, the common approach is to address the muscles that accelerate the body. Yet little or no time is spent addressing the decelerator muscles. This leaves a void. No matter how strong the accelerator muscles are, if they’re not balanced with decelerator muscle strength, increased speed is impossible without risk of injury. The brain’s own self-protecting governor will inhibit action that could lead to injury. As a result, swing speed is inhibited.
However, if the body can improve it’s BALANCED strength the brain will allow for faster motion without fear of injury. So how do we address balanced strength? Every athlete that uses the Velocity Bats™ will swing them so that they activate and strengthen both accelerator AND decelerator muscles used in the swing. After testing various weights, we calibrated our heavy Velocity Bat™ to maximize strength without compromising speed.
Nerves vs. Muscle
Match strength with speed that will translate to your own bat!
The second piece of the “speed puzzle” is training the nerves to fire the muscles faster than they’ve been conditioned to move. Baseball is a sport of repetition. The more reps you do at a certain speed, the more the brain conditions itself to maintain that speed. In order to override that conditioning, athletes must force themselves to move faster than they’ve been trained to move.
To do this, athletes swing the light Velocity Bat™ as fast as they can in various cross-specific ways. This allows the brain to accommodate moving at speeds not possible with a standard bat. Over time, the brain allows an increased threshold for speed, firing the nerves faster and moving the bat quicker. This, along with increased balanced strength, translates into faster, sustainable swing speeds without additional “effort”.
Will this affect my swing or pitching mechanics?
This IS NOT skill work. This protocol should be part of your regular workout schedule. The Velocity Bat™ protocol compliments work you do in a gym for stability, mobility and flexibility.
Let us be frank: there are no shortcuts
This requires work and dedication. The 10-15 minute workout needs to be done 3 times a week for 1-2 months to see the results.
