DTS (Differential Training System) Ball Set

The Khaos® Differential Ball Set is an excellent training tool for the elite throwing athlete whose desire is to become more accurate. The balls provide a means for high-level pitchers to adjust, modify and experiment within their environment. This ball set can be used in discovery-based instruction that permits the athlete to discover facts and relationships for themselves based on their personal throwing characteristics. With proper use, the Khaos® Differential Ball Set can be a valuable tool for improving the skills necessary to adjust pitch location while achieving the desired velocity.

Individual training goals are accomplished by throwing with the lighter/heavier, smaller/larger ball while measuring throwing accuracy coupled with velocity. The Khaos® Differential Ball Set provides elite athletes the tools to implement a process-oriented method to analyze and interpret how to alter delivery to achieve a particular outcome. Appropriate use can lead to complex skill acquisition under variable practice conditions and provides the athlete tools for self-directed learning and self-regulated practice.

The Khaos® Differential Ball Set consists of four balls of differing sizes and weights:

Developed for use with Ron Wolforth’s Differential Training System, The Khaos® Differential Ball Set provides athletes a tool that aids in retaining concepts and knowledge discovered through focused practice. They are ideal for use in training models that are based on guided discovery, problem-based learning, simulation-based learning, case-based learning, and incidental learning, among others.

The Khaos® DTS Ball Set was developed to support training based on the differential learning theory. With balls of differing sizes and weights, this ball set provides a throwing variation that requires constant attention and adaptability to achieve target goals.

• Supports differential learning theory
• Promotes experimentation and problem solving
• Varying ball sizes requires adaption with each throw
• Varying ball weights promotes focus and modification
