Softball Front Toss Strike Recognition Trainer

Unlock Your Strike Zone Awareness Potential with the Softball Front Toss Strike Recognition Trainer

Enhance Your Hitting Skills

Elevate your hitting skills with the Softball Front Toss Strike Recognition Trainer (FTSRT) from V-Flex. Designed to improve real-time strike recognition, this essential tool helps hitters significantly increase bat-to-ball contact while reducing swings at balls outside the strike zone.

Proven Effectiveness

The patented design specifically targets underhand front toss training. Notably, high school and collegiate players report a 12-15% increase in swings at strikes when using this innovative device, making it an invaluable addition to any serious training regimen.

How to Use the Trainer

To maximize effectiveness, position the trainer 12-15 feet from home plate:

• Instruct the player to swing at any pitch that passes through the "V" focal area.
• Reinforce the primary goal: swing at strikes while consciously avoiding pitches outside the zone.

Training a hitter to recognize the difference between a ball and a strike requires adhering to some basic principles:

• Toss intentional contrast pitches—balls or non-strikes—in random sequences.
• Never toss more than three strikes in a row while using V-Flex.

The design of this training device allows the trainer to throw two distinctively different types of "balls":

• The first non-strike, or ball, will pass through the circle but not through the V focus area.
• The second type of non-strike, or ball, is tossed outside the entire center circle and V focus area.

  • Tracking this pitch helps develop a critical eye movement pattern for recognizing balls that should be instinctively taken.

• This method shortens the track of a non-strike and builds additional contrast patterns between balls and strikes.

For optimal results, be sure to follow the basic training principles outlined in the User’s Manual. Furthermore, consider pairing the FTSRT with our Enhanced Focus Tunnel creating various spatial cues, allowing you to elevate your training experience even more.

Achieve Exceptional Results

In summary, the FTSRT is your key to achieving exceptional results in front toss training. By honing your swing mechanics and strike zone awareness, you’ll develop greater precision and confidence at the plate. Don’t miss the opportunity to transform your hitting game—start swinging at strikes and watch your performance improve!
