ACE Capacity Testing provides the benchmarks to measure capacity and direct deliberate training specific to each athletes needs.
Technology used via mobile application to quantify biometrical movements while executing a swing. Measures proper sequence applied to swing.
Kinesthetic Awareness Training device is the only patented device that provides vibration and audio reinforcement in training motor skill movement patterns. This device allows the hitter to "feel" the correct movements and map the neuromuscular needs.
Latella Neuromuscular Training System is the Holy Grail for neuromuscular training. This patented and proven system allows the hitter to train and prepare body for the correct movements in competition. Mobility, Sequence and Timing are mapped to allow the hitter to try better instead of harder producing a better in game result.
ACE testing compliments Hitter Handicap testing by allowing you to know what is "under the hood" and how to best calibrate your Hitter Handicap Approach.
ACE testing compliments Hitter Handicap testing by allowing you to know what is "under the hood" and how to best calibrate your Hitter Handicap Approach.
The utilization of the Hitter Handicap to Test, Train and Develop allows a player to calibrate their swing based upon their Athletic Capacity. A good approach is a good result and ultimately you are quantifying the ability to know what the best approach is for your specific physiological capacity. Test and create benchmark and then Train better understanding what your approach should be and then see your self develop by using the Hitter Handicap to perfect your approach. Contact is most important for this approach and you will see a smaller number for a Handicap and Total MPH.
The numbers presented here represent the approach of a player hitting in the middle of the lineup for their team. They will show more overall MPH but will have a tick up in Hitter Handicap score due to a bigger swing where contact is secondary in many occasions.
Hitters falling in this matrix typically do not have the speed of the leadoff type hitter nor the power of the middle of the lineup hitters.
Testing Top Prospects at camp to see how they match up against current players
7U player shows how to train using 2.5" ball grip on bat while training in proprioception. Mapping movements specific to hitting a ball cognitively impacts the hitters awareness of a good swing. Variation in training techniques requires adaptability from the hitter so they learn to make adjustments.
Hitters have benefit from the utilization of the Hitter Handicap to quantify improvement after specialty grip training. Testing hitters before and after grip training and the use of grips on the bat shows big improvements in the hitters ability to hit the ball harder more consistently.
Hitters benefit greatly by placing grips on bat for neuromuscular training purposes. The hitter increases focus and "tames" their swing so they do not overswing and practice a swing that is not one they can duplicate. Grips on the bat increase grip strength over time, builds better symmetry and improves the bat path to the ball. Cross Gripping adds additional benefits that correct dominant hand impacted swings.
In testing, the 1.75 grips tend to create a better Hitter Handicap score early on in training as it "tames" the hitter from swinging too big. Testing has proven immediate neuromuscular connectivity when using grips on the bat. The variation of grips on the bat from 1.75" , 2.0", 2.5" helps prevent overuse injuries and builds structural integrity.
The Handmaster Plus is a must have to prevent UCL injuries and to prepare wrist, forearms and extensor work . In game use is advised for pitchers so they do not have long periods of time sitting without use. This is a preventative measure to take as well as using it for recovery. This uilds and develops "usuable" grip strength specific for hitting and throwing.
