Product Information Similar Products Reviews

The TAP® Ultimate Pitcher Resistance Tubing is a versatile training system designed to support long-term athletic development through varied loading strategies. By featuring both synthetic leather wrist cuffs and rubberized hand grips, this tool allows athletes to toggle between distal unloading (isolating the shoulder/scapula) and integrated grip patterns (mimicking throwing mechanics). This dual-interface approach facilitates refined neuromuscular control and movement quality across all competitive levels.

Design for Efficiency & Hygiene Engineered for the real-world constraints of high-traffic team environments, the Ultimate Pitcher system features non-porous synthetic leather and rubberized grips that are easy to sanitize. The "grab-and-go" design ensures that transitions during the Prepare phase are efficient, whether in the bullpen, weight room, or dugout. The included steel snap hooks provide secure anchoring while protecting the tubing from friction-related wear.

    • Developmental Resistance Levels Resistance selection should be governed by movement quality and the athlete's developmental stage. Note that higher resistance is not inherently "better"; it must be matched to the athlete's ability to maintain mechanical integrity:

      • Green (Heavy): Targeted for the youth athlete; focus on low-intensity patterning.

      • Blue (Extra Heavy): Calibrated for the junior high athlete establishing a consistent routine.

      • Black (Special Heavy): The standard resistance level for the developing high school athlete.

      • Silver (Super Heavy): Intended for mature collegiate and professional athletes with high force-output capabilities.

      • Black (Ultra Heavy): Custom-order resistance for professional-level strength endurance. (Call 936-295-4459 to order).

      TAP® Ultimate Pitcher Resistance Tubing in use

Mechanism & Application The Ultimate Pitcher system is highly effective within the Prepare and Restore phases of training. Unlike traditional weights, elastic resistance provides variable loading that better aligns with the deceleration patterning required in overhead sports. By utilizing the cuffs, athletes can activate the scapular stabilizers without forearm compensation; by utilizing the grips, they can integrate the entire kinetic chain to reinforce sport-specific movement patterns.

Safety & Maintenance To ensure athlete safety and product longevity, do not exceed 300% elongation of the tubing. Inspect the rubber regularly for nicks or signs of fatigue; if wear is detected, discontinue use immediately. Instructions for specific exercises are not included, as implementation should be directed by a qualified coach to ensure proper biomechanics.

⚠ Allergy Warning: Potential Presence of Natural Rubber Latex Please be advised that this product, or its components, may contain Natural Rubber Latex (NRL). This is a known allergen that can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike weights, which rely on gravity and can stress joints during overhead motions, this tubing delivers smooth, elastic resistance for fluid movements, making it a quick grab-and-go tool or a targeted rotator cuff strengthener with less joint impact.

  • Promotes explosive power without overloading elbows.
  • Enables high-rep sets for endurance.
  • Fast setup for instant warm-ups or isolated drills.

Variable resistance reduces joint impact by scaling tension with motion, unlike weights' constant load, promoting rotator cuff health and endurance for quick warm-ups or targeted rehab.

  • Minimizes shoulder strain during reps.
  • Enhances blood flow for recovery.
  • Portable for consistent arm care.

Separate tubes let pitchers anchor each side independently, tailoring resistance for arm-side power throws or glove-side stability drills, unlike joined tubes, which limit placement flexibility.

Yes, the Heavy (Green) resistance level offers gentle, variable resistance, perfect for beginners to safely build shoulder strength through low-impact drills, unlike weights that risk overloading untrained joints.
