1. A method of practicing the throwing of a ball comprising:
obtaining first and second bands sized and configured for removable attachment to the forearms of a user's body, the first band being attached to an elongated, flexible, substantially inelastic, adjustable-length connector, attaching the second band to the connector to form a practice device, the second band being adjustably attached to provide the connector with an operating length appropriate to press against the user's body at or near the collar bone if the user moves both arms behind the plane of their pectoral muscles during wind-up for an overhand throwing of a ball, the operating length of the connector being configured to provide for an allowed angle of up to about 100 to about 120 degrees between the user's upper arms and forearms when extended in a horizontal plane, fastening the first and second bands to the right and left forearms of the user to position the connector in front of the user, obtaining a ball to practice with, and throwing the ball while utilizing the practice device, including winding up for an overhand throw by moving the forearms backwards in an amount sufficient to cause the connector to become straight, taut, and in contact with the user's body, the connector limiting the separation distance between the forearms of the user during wind-up. |
