Pitcher’s Friend Resistance Tubing

TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend Resistance Tubing should be an integral part of any arm health program to prepare the arm for throwing and is equally important for non-throwing overhead athletes as well. The overhead tasks associated with throwing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and golf all rely on similar muscle-activation patterns of the rotator cuff, humeral movers, and scapular stabilizers.

Particularly popular in baseball, pre-throwing exercises and strength training with resistance tubing has been accepted at all levels. Properly performed exercises can activate, strengthen and condition muscles important in the throwing motion while having a low impact on the joints. The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend resistance tubing is highly portable, allowing these exercises to be performed in the bullpen, dugout, locker room, or on the sidelines.

The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend tubing utilizes elastic force to provide resistance throughout functional movement patterns allowing the ability to move freely during exercise. This tool permits the recreation of athletic movements and is not affected by gravity when compared to lifting weights, where gravity factors into the effectiveness of a movement direction.

The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend consists of padded wrist bands (cuffs) made with easily cleaned synthetic leather attached to five-foot sections of resistance tubing. Looped ends provide for attachment to wristband and anchor (sold as pairs).

The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend resistance tubing is an excellent device to assist in injury prevention while strengthening movement patterns used in sports. These portable and lightweight tools can be used both in-season and off-season for pre-activity warm-up routines and functional strength programs. The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend resistance tubing should be an integral part of any arm health program.

The TAP™ Pitcher’s Friend is set apart from other quality resistance tubing products available because of its padded cuffs. The one-size-fits-all padded cuff is made of easily cleaned synthetic leather. Exercising with these comfortable cuffs allows the wrist freedom to rotate to accommodate a wide variety of band exercises and exercise routines.
