Down Trainers just plain work!! As a coach of elite

"I
have tested the Head Down Trainers in my hitting and
defensive clinics and private lesson practice across
the country. This tool without a doubt aids in the control
of the head movement and seeing the ball down in the
zone.
Defensively,
I think Head Down Trainers are great. It is a fundamental
of my training to make contact out in front. The Head
Down Trainer does exactly that. It is additional reinforcement
which I entertain any and all help to accomplish this
part of the fielding technique, especially at the younger
development ages."
Gerry Mauro

"One
of the most important skills a baseball player must
learn is to focus on the baseball while hitting or fielding.
Mistakes and errors result from not maintaining eye
contact with the baseball right up to the moment contact
is made when hitting or not watching the ball into the
glove while fielding Head Down Trainers provides an
easy to use device to help teach this invaluable skill
to inexperienced players or reinforce this skills for
veteran players. We plan to use these glasses on a daily
basis during practice."

"The
most important element for baseball players at the youth
level is to establish "good habits. The Head Down
Trainer forces the player to develop the habit of keeping
the head down and eyes focused on the ball when hitting.
The player also develops the habit of "hands out
front" when fielding a ground ball and following
the ball into the glove. The Head Down Trainer simply
helps the player to develop good skills. Players enjoy
wearing them and are more focused on practicing their
drills.
Our little league was fortunate enough to use the Head
Down Trainer as part of a fund raiser for our league.
Instructors came to our complex to give a clinic on
hitting and fielding using the Head Down Trainer. A
portion of each players fee was given back to the league.
This was an excellent fund raiser and a great way to
show players the proper use of the Head Down Trainer.
The Head Down Trainer is a must for all baseball players,
especially at the youth level."

"The
concept of keeping your head down on the ball has always
been taught, but never before has there been a visual
training tool to ensure that athletes actually do it,
until now. Head Down Trainers will help to develop good
technique for the younger athlete, and reinforce good
habits for the more experienced athlete. By simply putting
on a pair of Head Down Trainers you can make drills
that were once boring and monotonous fun again."
Alison Bradley

"I
have found the Head Down Trainers to be an innovation
and invaluable tool in helping young hitters track the
ball. What has been very interesting is that the Head
Down Trainers have not only helped my students track
the ball but they have significantly improved the their
ability to minimize head movement and in turn greatly
increasing their balance. Great hitters always have
excellent ability to track the ball and exceptional
balance. I would highly recommend the Head Down Trainers
to anyone who is serious about becoming an outstanding
hitter."

"Our
team has been using the Head Down Glasses during defensive
drills at
practice & I can clearly see improvement in their
form! The girls also
appear to be more relaxed as they field through the
ball. I consider our
team to be a very good defensive team and I believe
the Head Down Glasses
will continue to make our players better."
