Apparatuses for improving throwing technique and methods of using same

摘要

Various embodiments provide apparatuses configured for improving a ball throwing technique of a user thereof. The apparatuses generally comprise one or more body portions configured to at least partially surround at least a first portion of an arm of the user, and one or more flexible portions configured to at least partially surround and secure at least a second portion of the arm of the user, the second portion being oppositely positioned relative to the first portion. The apparatuses may further comprise at least one connector element configured to selectively attach the one or more flexible portions to the one or more body portions. Various embodiments still further incorporate a wedge portion that creates a gap between a user's palm and the ball being thrown. Still other embodiments comprise extension and rotation mechanisms for apparatus adjustments. Methods of using the various apparatuses are also provided.

主权项

1. An apparatus configured for improving a throwing technique of a user thereof, the apparatus comprising:
a first body portion configured to at least partially surround an upper arm portion of the arm of the user; a second body portion configured to at least partially surround a lower arm portion of the arm of the user, wherein the first and the second body portions are further configured such that a relative angle is formed there-between; a third body portion configured to at least partially surround a palm portion of a hand of the user, wherein the third body portion comprises a wedge portion, the wedge portion being configured to protrude from a substantially planar surface of the third body portion and toward the palm portion of the hand of the user so as to create a gap between the palm portion and the substantially planar surface of the third body portion such that the wedge portion is positioned intermediate the substantially planar surface of the third body portion and the palm portion of the hand of the user; one or more flexible portions configured to at least partially surround and secure at least a second portion of the arm of the user, the second portion being oppositely positioned relative to the first portion; and at least one connector element configured to selectively attach the one or more flexible portions to the one or more body portions.
