SMART
POWER TRAINING SYSTEMS
All of SETPRO's
products are based on the latest sports research. This means you get the most out of every
training minute.
Mechanics and Training:
Chicken or Egg. Most of us have heard the phrase "which came first, the
chicken or the egg?". This question is used when describing a sequence of actions
that affect each other. This question is an important one for baseball players. It can be
restated as: How does training affect mechanics and how does mechanics affect training? At
SETPRO we put as much effort into understanding pitching and hitting mechanics as we do
designing training systems. Our efforts use the latest in sports science and computer
analysis. We then applied this information to the design of "pitching specific"
and "hitting specific" training programs. These training programs are then field
tested and closely monitored for results.
Batspeed is the single most
important measure of a hitters development. Maximizing your bat speed not only
improves power (distance), it also improves mechanics, allows you to wait on the ball
longer and most importantly, give you the confidence to challenge the pitcher. Confidence
comes from repeatedly training to maximum bat speed. Its the only way to get game
ready in the shortest time. Dave Hudgens (pro hitting coach Oakland Athletics, author of
Hitting for Excellence) says Bat speed is what every excellent hitter
has, and what every mediocre hitter wants. Your most important training tool is the
SMART POWER COMPUTER/TRAINER. By measuring and trying to improve each swing will you
achieve maximum results in the shortest time. Using one of more of our swing training
systems (using Power Fins, PROCUT, SPEEDBAT, etc.) insures maximum results from every work
out.
BASIC SMART POWER TRAINING Swinging
different loads (overload and underload) combined with seeing your bat speed on every
swing will give you the greatest improvement in the shortest time. This is called
sport specific training with feedback. You set up a training program to swing
3-6 times a week, taking 50-150 swings (the number depends on the training desired). It
takes 20-30 minutes to complete. This program is guaranteed to improve your bat speed by
10 MPH in 14 days. If you have the time and desire, it can add 20 MPH or more.
