Pitch Design Bundle

Pitch Design Bundle is a purpose-built package for pitch shaping, spin efficiency, and release awareness, designed for pitchers and coaches who want to refine how the ball moves—not just how hard it’s thrown. It combines off‑speed feel trainers, unstable load tools, differential ball work, and visual spin feedback so you can design and refine pitches with or without high‑end tech.

This bundle includes:

• 6 × TAP® Yakkeraid
• 2 × Weighted Football (2 lb)
• 2 × KHAOS® DTS Ball Set
• 6 × TAP® Spinaid Bundle (1 × 2‑Seam and 1 × 4‑Seam)

Off‑speed feel and spin visibility

TAP® Yakkeraid
TAP® Yakkeraid is a genuine leather training ball shaped like a small football, with baseball laces, a maximum diameter matching a regulation baseball, and similar weight. Its unique shape makes slider, curveball, and changeup spin visible so pitchers can train off‑speed feel at low intensity while clearly seeing how their grips and finger pressure affect movement.

• Football‑like shape with baseball laces offers novel ways to practice various grips, especially sliders and curveballs.
• Lets pitchers quickly assess the efficiency of slider and curveball grips and see whether they’re creating the desired horizontal and vertical movement.
• Enhances feel for ball rotation, helping pitchers build better control and consistency on off‑speed pitches without relying solely on lab data.

Multiple Yakkeraid trainers make it easy to run small‑group pitch‑design sessions on sliders, curveballs, and changeups while keeping each pitcher’s reps high.

Arm strength and release pattern support

Weighted Football (2lb)

Weighted Football is a molded‑rubber training ball that adds resistance while preserving a familiar overhand or option‑style throwing pattern. It helps build arm strength and supports release‑mechanics refinement in a context that many pitchers find intuitive.

• Added resistance activates key muscles in the arm, supporting velocity and durability when blended responsibly with baseball‑specific throwing.football.
• Great for refining arm path and release feel in a non‑baseball context, which can help some athletes separate pattern work from game throws.

Differential load, adaptability, and command

KHAOS® DTS Ball Set
The KHAOS® DTS (Differential Training System) Ball Set is a four‑ball training system that deliberately changes ball weight, circumference, and feel from throw to throw so pitchers cannot lock into a single pattern. Instead of repeating the same 5oz ball endlessly, each rep forces the arm and body to solve a slightly different throwing problem, building adaptability and command under changing conditions.

• Four balls with differing weights (roughly 3–8oz) and circumferences (~7.5–12 in) plus varied textures change how the hand grips, how the arm feels the load, and how the body organizes each delivery.
• Developed to support Ron Wolforth’s Differential Training System, promoting experimentation, problem solving, and self‑directed learning instead of rigid repetition.
• Ideal for accuracy and physical adaptation blocks where pitchers cycle through all four balls to a single target, then blend back to a standard baseball to transfer improved feel and command.

Two KHAOS® DTS sets give you enough differential balls to run dedicated pitch‑design or command sessions with multiple pitchers at once.

Visual spin axis and release efficiency

TAP® Spinaid Bundle (2‑Seam & 4‑Seam)
TAP® Spinaid is a leather training baseball the size and weight of a regulation ball, with two flattened parallel sides that make ball flight, movement, and rotation instantly visible. When thrown, the flat faces either rotate cleanly on a stable axis (efficient release) or wobble noticeably (inefficient release, finger pressure, or grip issues).

• The 4‑Seam Spinaid helps pitchers learn to get directly “behind” the ball on fastballs and to achieve stable topspin axes for curveballs.
• The 2‑Seam Spinaid is designed for pitchers who throw 2‑seam fastballs, sinkers, and pitches gripped along the narrow seams—including certain curveballs and changeups—making axis and wobble easy to see.
• Supports practical pitch design: once a pitcher can see their natural spin axis, they can intentionally align fastballs, breaking balls, and changeups off that axis to build a coherent pitch mix.
• Works across fastball, off‑speed, and breaking grips; can be used in virtually any throwing drill, then blended with regular baseball throws to transfer improved release and axis control.

Six Spinaid bundles (each including both 2‑Seam and 4‑Seam) give you enough visual spin trainers to outfit a full staff, making spin‑axis work and pitch shaping a regular part of practice rather than an occasional lab session.

Why choose the Pitch Design Bundle

Pitch Design Bundle is built for coaches and pitchers who want to design better pitches—not just chase velocity.

• Yakkeraid trains off‑speed grips and feel with instant visual feedback on slider, curveball, and changeup spin.
• Weighted Football supports arm strength and release‑mechanics patterning in a complementary context.football.
• KHAOS® DTS Ball Sets build adaptability, release‑point awareness, and command under varied ball loads and sizes.
• Spinaid bundles make spin axis, wobble, and release efficiency visible, tying what pitchers feel in their fingers to what the ball actually does in flight.

This bundle is ideal for organizations that treat pitch design as an ongoing practice—not a one‑time event—giving them practical tools to work on spin efficiency, movement shaping, and command every week, with or without expensive pitch‑tracking technology.
