TAP® Connection Throwing Club

Improve throwing mechanics, increase velocity, and reduce arm injuries with the TAP® Connection Throwing Club. This 16-inch solid wood training tool is engineered to promote a connected overhand throwing pattern by enhancing kinetic chain sequencing and correcting mechanical flaws. Designed in collaboration with elite pitching coaches Ron Wolforth and Randy Sullivan, it’s a must-have for baseball and softball athletes focused on performance and arm health.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Connected Throwing Pattern: Encourages proper sequencing of the torso, shoulder, and arm for efficient energy transfer.
  • Injury Prevention: Reduces stress on the elbow and shoulder by promoting biomechanically sound movement.
  • Body Awareness: Improves proprioception and feel for efficient throwing mechanics.
  • Corrects Disconnections: Addresses common flaws like “forearm flyout” and poor trunk rotation.
  • Durable Construction: Made from solid wood for long-term use in training environments.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for warm-ups, drills, and integration with the TAP® Connection Ball™ and regulation baseballs.

Science-Backed Training Tool

The TAP® Connection Throwing Club is based on Dynamic Systems Theory (DST), which explains how movement emerges from the interaction of the athlete, environment, and task.

  • Constraint-Led Design: The club’s center of mass (12" above the hand) guides the body into proper throwing positions.
  • Differential Learning: Subtle variations in movement promote adaptability and long-term motor learning.
  • Control Feedback: Provides real-time feedback to help athletes self-correct and refine their throwing motion.
