If you want the superior baseball training means to elevate your game to the next level Vertimax is your answer
Regardless of your level of play from the Major leagues to youth baseball, VertiMax develops explosive power from the legs to the shoulders to improve all aspects of a ball player's game. From pitching velocity to hitting power and the development of superior offensive and defensive speed - VertiMax can deliver it all. Integrating VertiMax into your baseball strength training program will allow any baseball player or team to successfully reach more of their performance goals. Below we have summarized seven unique power producing baseball training advantages only VertiMax has to offer.
1) VertiMax allows baseball players to perform hundreds of baseball drills that specifically target primary muscles groups that are critical for increasing hitting power, throwing velocity and running speed. With VertiMax's ability to reconfigure the positions of its resistance training bands for on or off-platform training Baseball Demo Video, baseball players are able to perform hundreds of sports specific baseball drills to improve power, speed and acceleration performance for virtually any movement on the field of play.
2) Only VertiMax increases both leg power and arm swing velocity to truly maximize the vertical leap. Great vertical jump ability which is a measure of explosive leg power is one of the most important sports fitness parameters a baseball player can possess. If you improve the vertical leap you'll be more successful fielding hard driven, elevated balls, you'll have more hitting and throwing power and have better acceleration to successfully steal bases. That is why the vertical leap is one of the most important performance parameters athletes are judged by to determine athletic potential. That's why VertiMax is key to every athlete because its the only vertical jump training system in the world capable of loading both the legs and arm swing at the same time when vertical jump training. That's important because arm swing velocity at take-off accounts for 10 to 13% of your vertical jump performance and it can't be ignored if a baseball player is training to develop their full vertical jump potential for performance evaluation by coaches. Vertimax is the only baseball training system that accounts for the arm swing lift component which will make a significant difference in vertical jump performance and overall leg drive for acceleration, hitting and pitching power.
3) VertiMax is the top baseball training system for speed because its the only system in the world that can load the leg drive and swing phase simultaneously for maximum linear and lateral speed gains watch video. Every baseball player wants more speed for successful base stealing and fielding hard driven balls. If you really want to fully develop your speed potential – you have to effectively increase power in BOTH the leg drive and swing phase of the running motion when you accelerate. We're talking about loading the quad, glut and calf when one leg is planted on the ground driving and also at the same time loading the hip flexors, abductors and adductors of the opposite foot when it breaks contact with the ground and accelerates towards the next ground strike so it can begin driving again. This patented training technique is as effective as speed training gets for the serious baseball player. If you're still running around with an elastic band tied to your waist you're only training drive phase and that does nothing to develop power in the muscles that accelerate your foot when it leaves the ground. If you're running around with an elastic band tied to your ankles, you're only training swing phase and what's worse is those elastic bands are almost always slack when you start foot movement and thus they provide no useful resistance for power development at the start of the explosive movement where its most important. The V8 combines the best of both these conventional speed training techniques while correcting the problems associated with each to deliver the most effective baseball training system for speed in the world.
4) VertiMax resistance bands never go slack when training so baseball players can develop power sooner in the hitting or pitching movement and accelerate faster when stealing bases. The ability to develop power quickly in both the leg drive and swing phase for the running, hitting and pitching movements is critical for any player who wants to have great performance in these three areas and that is exactly what Vertimax will give them. Vertimax resistance bands fully retract into the system which means they never go slack and always provide a useful training resistance when athletes initiate any explosive repetition while performing baseball drills. Conventional elastic bands can't do that because they can't retract into anything and when the athlete coils to position themselves for the explosive movement, the bands go slack and don't provide any useful training resistance to develop power at the front end of an explosive movement where it's most important.
Watching this video, you'll see how VertiMax is superior for front end power development in the jumping and running movement. In the coiled position for vertical jump training Vertimax bands retract and can't go slack keeping the full load applied the squatted position. Resistance from conventional elastic training systems will radically drop off as the athlete dips into the squatted position because there's no means to remove slack as the two cord ends approach each other. When training the hip flexors (another critical muscle group for first step quickness), once again Vertimax resistance bands can't go slack and fully load the hip flexor before it even begins the explosive contraction. Conventional bands tied between the ankles won't apply one ounce of load to the hip flexor at the start of any explosive baseball drills because that band will be completely slack every time you begin a high knee drive. With no load at the start, you're tossing power gains that can improve your baseball power & speed performance right out the window. VertiMax's waist and individual foot bands can maintain constant drive and swing phase resistance on every relevant muscle in both legs moving in any direction. That conventional shuffle drill with ankle bands can't apply an ounce of force to either leg if your feet are less than shoulder width apart - and when it does it loads only the abductor - period. VertiMax is simply a smarter, more effective way to radically increase power at the start of an explosive movement and that's just one more reason Vertimax delivers superior gains in hitting power and pitching velocity as well as running speed.
5) Vertimax allows baseball players to achieve higher training velocities to more effectively develop power at high speeds required great hitting and pitching performance Watch this video. This is what we call speed strength and VertiMax is specifically designed to excel at developing speed strength in every critical baseball movement. The problem with conventional elastic training systems is they usually involve a short elastic bands connected between parts of our body or the ground or a wall. When you try to perform an explosive movement and stretch these short bands the resistance often goes from 0 to a whole lot in just 2 feet. That radical increase in resistance is basically slamming on the brakes when you're trying to achieve high training velocities. Vertimax solves that issue by utilizing really long elastic bands on retractable pulley systems so you're stretching a long band a little instead short band a lot. Once you set the resistance on Vertimax this allows the athlete to basically feel the same load from the beginning to end of any explosive baseball drill whether it be hitting, pitching or fielding. There's no hitting the brakes when you initiate an explosive movement on Vertimax and that means you're going to achieve higher training velocities with your legs and better speed strength development to improve speed and power required for great pitching and hitting performance.
6) Vertimax implements two balance control mechanisms to help players maintain balance and work with more effort when performing explosive baseball training drills watch video. If you want to maximize power output you have to train explosively with 100% effort and you can't do that if you're not balanced, especially if your vertical jump training with a load. Anyone who has tried to jump with 100% effort when they were off balance knows your brain and physics won't allow it. If you use a conventional jump trainer that simply ties non-retractable bands to a fixed point its almost impossible to train with 100% effort because the system is not designed to maintain your balance. Resistance on these antiquated systems will radically increase as you jump. If you drift off center from the anchor points you have to deal with a lateral force pushing or pulling you and that's going to completely destabilize you because when we jump gravity doesn't radically increase or push us from the front or back. The Vertimax designed appreciates and maintains the stability of gravity by utilizing a design that provides a non-varying resistance and a patented tracking system that allows the elastic bands to move with the athlete when vertical jump training. If the athlete drifts forward or backward while jumping, the anchor point actually moves with the athlete to help keep the force of the bands pulling straight down just like gravity. The VertiMax design gives you more stability enabling more effort on every explosive rep when performing baseball drills for power and speed on or off the platform.
7) Adjustable resistance settings from 2 to 200 pounds allows baseball players from 6 years old to Major League players to train on VertiMax watch video. The Vertimax V8 gives you the ability to adjust the resistance setting on each of the 8 bands routed in the system by extracting or retracting the bands through their individual cam mechanism which automatically locks the cord in place after the resistance adjustment. This feature provides a wide range of resistance settings that allows the same V8 system to accommodate an MLB super star right down to a 6 year old youth athlete.
Testimonials
"After making VertiMax part of our baseball training program, players just seem to play with more intensity. Whatever it takes to make the play, you can see more of it! It's a great device to increase leg strength, core strength, and overall foot speed. During the game I could see the difference and my players loved training on VertiMax!"

"VertiMax opened up a new path in speed, agility, and hand eye coordination in the baseball players we train. We use it to teach muscle memory for all of our young stars that Matt Guliano trains. For our older clients in high school and college VertiMax is the pinnacle tool in gaining that extra split second a ball player needs in hitting. For defensive skills we use the hand attachments and have the client knock down balls thrown at them at different height and speeds. This allows each player to develop coordination and use all those small muscles that a player never thinks about. Our tournament and college bound player’s use the leg attachments to gain an extra step in lateral movement, pivotal for gaining that first step."
Titan Total Fitness President, Rick Antinori
“I coached Tyler Rahmatulla, a shortstop on the Mater Dei High School Baseball Team, who led the 16 & under Junior Olympic team in home runs. He participated in our six-week VertiMax training program. In the beginning we were only trying to lower his 60 yard dash time and increase his lateral movement, and that DID happen. But we noticed another significant improvement! Tyler pitches on the team, and he had increased his fast ball from approximately 85 to 90 mph! VertiMax training, when done right and adhered to by a hard working athlete, produces all around outstanding results! Thank you Vertimax!”
John Elliot, Elite Coach & Trainer
