Here's what users of the BASEBALLANCE are saying:

Baseballance is changing hitters everywhere!

Cleveland Indians Organization:

Bruce Fields, Minor League Hitting Coordinator,

"The BASEBALLANCE is the Magic Wand for the Bottom half. We believe in the power of the board! The BASEBALLANCE accelerates learning and eliminates a lot of dialogue regarding the value and use of the bottom half. Hitters learn and feel balance, load, weight transfer, an explosive back side, a firm front side and staying in line toward contact. They feel it. Every hitter says the same exact thing when they get off and take those first few swings off of flat ground. It is definately making a difference. What has taken weeks, months or even years to explain, hitters now understand in less than 10 minutes. I haven't been this excited about teaching hitting in a long time."

Rouglas Odor, Hitting Instructor, AA Akron Aeros,

"I really believe that the BASEBALLANCE is a great tool that's going to help not just the pro-players, but also kids of any age. Our players are using it on a daily basis, in fact, one of our players is taking it on road trips. They are starting to believe, like we do as coaches."

Lino Diaz, Cultural Development,

"We really love the BASEBALLANCE and believe me, we are seeing and recognizing the results. Guys were really driving the ball in spring training. I will have several guys calling you to get one of these for themselves. We believe in what it is doing for our hitters."

Baltimore Orioles Organization:

Brandon Snyder, AAA Norfolk Tides,

"There was a line to get on the BASEBALLANCE everyday in spring training. We know what it does for us. Thanks for hooking us up, the guys (Tides players) appreciate it. I know that the one in Baltimore is in the cage everyday."

Adam Jones, Centerfielder, O' Birds,

"This thing is legit!"

CJ Beatty, St. Louis Cardinals Organization:

"I truly believe in this product 1000% and know for a fact that it will help every hitter who uses it. It will get you to where you want to be as a professional hitter in a hurry. I am going to take it everywhere. If you want a pro swing, you need to check out the BASEBALLANCE."

Jake Epstein, Mike Epstein Hitting, Inc.,

"The BASEBALLANCE lets the hitter know if his load is too violent or if there isn't enough. Using this tool really allows the player to stay smooth with their rhythm. When the player returns to flat ground it provides a 'feel' to return to. I think it is an appropriate tool for players of all ages and developmental stages. Regarding the learning of hitting fundamentals, it will definately speed up the process."

RIPKEN BASEBALL:

"We receive products and solicitations often and out of the many that we have had delivered to the stadium, yours we actually liked. This doesn’t happen that often. Different inventions and training products are sent to Ripken Baseball with the hopes of getting in front of Cal and Bill. You actually had the opportunity to get in front of both of them to demonstrate your product which almost never happens, not to mention get some advice from Bill Ripken on how to better your product without even having signed a contract with us first." --Karen A. Zoda, Corporate Sales Manager

Steve Hill, Hitting Instructor in San Jose, CA,

The BASEBALLANCE lets the player know that there is a shift from back to front and then back to balance, in terms of weight shift. It really gets them to feel the back leg loading up (quad). The players get to feel the heal plant on the front side which starts their whole weight shift from back to firm front leg. It also shows them that the front leg can’t collapse and get to far out over the front leg. I have become a huge fan. I use the side to side all the time while doing all our warm up drills and also center toss. Right away it puts them on the balls of their feet and in a good athletic position ready to go. The players are realizing the importance of being at a good start and finish with solid balance. To a player, my kids have become better without even realizing it, utilizing the side to side all the time. Some of them feel like they are still rocking, which is the feeling we want. Others rock and don’t even realize which is even better. I use it to get the kids off the back side. I also use for throwing drills to get the feeling of shifting to the front while throwing, especially outfielders. We use BASEBALLANCE from the get go almost. My kids are from 8-18. I feel that the sooner we get the muscle memory going the better off we are. It creates muscle memory."

Jessica Mendoza, USSSA Pride:

"I was able to try it out yesterday when I was up in San Jose. I really liked that it forces young hitters to feel where their weight is and where it should be as they begin their swing. I LOVE that it makes them feel their weight coming back before their swing."

Dana Maggs, School of Baseball, Dallas-Fort Worth:

I have had this device in my place for about 3 months doing an evaluation on it and testing it for BASEBALLANCE. It is without a doubt one of the best training devices I have used for my students. It will allow them to feel weight shift while being able to take a full swing at a ball of the tee. It has allowed them to feel how to load and unload while staying in a balanced position. Something young hitters often struggle with in terms of movement. It also shows when they get off the unit in terms of power. If they stay balanced they will hit the ball harder. Plain and simple. This helps them get there quicker with better understanding and FEEL of how to move and shift the weight. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in teaching balance and weight transfer.

Richard Tepera--Texas:

"The BASEBALLANCE is one of the best training aids I have ever seen. I saw it change a hitters swing and approach at the plate in 15 minutes. That's why I am buying two and the extra tops!"

Dr. Bill Harrison, Dan Koosed, Slow The Game Down--California:

"The BASEBALLANCE is a great teaching tool. I used it with all levels of my students and they all benefited from it. It encouraged having a stronger balance point during the swing and gave them a very solid feel when back on the ground. The first part to hitting is keeping your eyes and head as still as you can during the swing and that comes from having a strong, firm base. I would absolutely incorporate this tool into my daily training sessions."

Rodney Longhofer, Kansas City Blues Travel Baseball:

"The Baseballance is coming along nicely. My son Jackson has looked at the DVD and identified drills that he can manage and see improvement. On Wednesday, he took soft toss with the Baseballance and then followed it up with situational hitting. He looked fantastic and said the Baseballance is making a difference in his approach to hitting. His team utilized the Baseballance off the tee last Thursday. It definitely showed the holes in their swings and gave the coaches an opportunity to work on those challenges. The boys had a good time with it and appreciated that it was something different that will help their game. Jackson’s hitting instructor thinks it is a fine training tool. One comment he made was it only takes a little bit of time on the Baseballance to see a difference in a swing."

David Brim, Oklahoma Spikes Baseball Team:

"We have used the Baseballance to build our teams core muscle memory while reinforcing the players sense of developing the correct "feel" while performing various drills. Our boys have turned on quickly to this training aid and we love the quick results."

Cutting Edge Softball- San Jose, CA:

"The BAEBALLANCE is a versitale softball tool. Personally I love the variety of spots the "stoppers" can be positioned too. It allows the needs of each individual hitter to met. The BASEBALLANCE, allows my students to feel the weight transfer of their swing in a very natural way. My students like it and I like to use it as well. The BASEBALLANCE is a great training tool for ball players at all levels." --Cutting Edge Softball Inc. Instructor Alex Sutton.

As an outfielder playing for the Cal Bears, Alex made a national name for herself by hitting an impressive 12 home runs and knocking in 47 RBIs during her senior year. She also picked up such honors as Pac 10 Player of the Week and 2nd Team All Pac Ten during her Junior and Senior Years with the Cal Bears. Alex has spent the last two seasons competing at the Professional Softball level, playing for New England Rip Tide.

Mark Chiappelli, High School Coach, San Dimas, CA:

"The Baseballance board has been a very succesful teaching tool for us. Instead of the players always hearing our coaches talk about loading or staying balanced, they can actually "feel it". This allows our players to quickly make adjustments in their swings. This is the best teaching tool that I have purchased for our team."

Chris Glaize, Brookville High School--Virginia:

"Just wanted to let you know we are off to a great start, (10-1 over all and 4-0 in the conference). We are hitting the baseball a lot better than years past. I think a lot has to do with the BASEBALLANCE. Thanks for a great tool. It allows us to talk baseball with our players on why you need to be in a certain stance, etc. It gives them instant feed back on why they need to be balanced in all aspects of the game. Our little league loves it, too. They use it more than we do. I’m going to try and sell another for you to our Dixie Youth League and Little League programs. Thanks a bunch and hope your season is going well."
