			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="clear: both; width: 100%; display: block; border: medium none;"><a href="http://baseballvideostore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=5"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2302" title="3x-ad" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2010/06/3x-ad.jpg" border="0" alt="Ace Pitcher Instructional Videos" width="650" height="381" /></a></div>
<p><span id="more-2295"></span></p>
<p>If you have purchased the Ace Pitcher Handbook and you are ready to take it to the next level then I highly recommend that you purchase the stream to the <strong>3X Velocity System Instructional Videos</strong>. These videos include 1.5 hours of instruction that I have put together for you, like I was working with you one on one through the 3X Velocity System. I put these videos together because statistics show that the average person will only comprehend about 25% of the information in an instructional manual. These videos will give you that visual aid that you will need to soak up the other 75% of valuable information so you can experience the maximum amounts of success from the Ace Pitcher Handbook.</p>
<blockquote><p>The price for the hours of the <strong>3X Velocity System Instructional Videos </strong>for you to stream, for as long as you would like, is based on what it would cost to purchase 8 sessions of personal one on one instruction with me at my Baseball Academy in Louisiana. These videos equal 8 sessions of my instruction because it takes 8 sessions to cover all the information included in the <strong>3X Velocity System Instructional Videos. </strong>Each session is $60 per hour and 8 sessions would total at $480. I know this is a lot of money, so I have an amazing offer for you guys. If you purchase the videos before the end of the summer I will cut the price to a low <strong>$99</strong> for the entire stream. That would be like paying $12 per session for one on one pitching instruction and this isn&#8217;t your average pitching instruction. This is pitching instruction that will give you everything you need to reach your velocity potential. I believe every pitcher has the potential to hit 90mph!</p></blockquote>
<h2>Money Back Guarantee!</h2>
<p>If you are not satisfied with the videos and you want your money back then I will offer a 30 day money back guarantee. It is 30 days because PayPal gives me only 30 days to refund your credit card. I am offering everyone this guarantee because I want you to buy these videos to help you reach your velocity goals. If you follow the Ace Pitcher Handbook from the pitching mechanics to the Fusion System along with the <strong>3X Velocity System Instructional Videos</strong> and you do not gain any velocity within the first month and you are not satisfied then I will be glad to refund your money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main purpose of a Drill, is to practice a component of the delivery that will help to correct a mechanical flaw. I also believe it is important to add resistance to a drill to help imprint the new muscle memory.</p>
<p>The drill below should be performed 2 &#8211; 3 days a week, for at least 3 &#8211; 4 months. The drill should also be performed after completing the “Flexibility Training&#8221; portion of the Fusion System which can be found in the <a href="http://topvelocity.net/ace-pitcher-handbook/">Ace Pitcher Handbook</a>.  You can also find more drills in the handbook. Try to push each drill to muscle fatigue, if possible.<span id="more-2092"></span>What you will need to perform the drill is your glove and some resistance tubing. All of these products can be purchased at the <a href="http://topvelocity.net/store">Velocity Store</a>.</p>
<p>The purpose of this drill is to enforce the “Separation” position. To perform this drill you need a resistance band or tubing. Connect the band to a fence or have someone hold the band behind you.</p>
<h2>Instructions:</h2>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #1:</strong></div>
<p>Start in the “Separation” position, with the band held with your throwing arm. Arm some what relaxed and close to your body. Your glove hand is turned over and you are looking down your elbow. Both your feet are facing the target which opens your hips. Finally make sure your back shoulder is all the way behind you to help build more torque in your core.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #2:</strong></div>
<p>When ready, turn over and tuck your glove hand and then push your belly and chest to your front knee, allowing the band to pull your arm back behind your head. Make sure your hips are positioned under your chest. You are now in the “Pull.” Perform pic #2 from the previous drill before continuing down to pic #3 on this drill.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #3:</strong></div>
<p>Continue to stabilize your landing leg, knee, hip and chest while driving your chest out over your front foot. Once your chest has hit the wall, finish the pitch with your fingers on top of the ball and your hand 6 inches in front of foot. Make sure your elbow pulls through just above your throwing shoulder.</p>
<p><strong>* Remember after creating torque in your core and your shoulders have opened to the target, velocity is based on how fast you can transfer your weight to your release point. So perform this drill with explosive power.</strong></p>

<p>The purpose of this drill is to enforce the “Chest Thrust” position. To perform this drill you need a resistance band or tubing. Connect the band to a fence or have someone hold the band behind you.</p>
<h2>Instructions:</h2>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #1:</strong></div>
<p>Start in the “Chest Thrust” position, with the band held with your throwing arm resting behind you. Your chest is up and your hips are under your chest. Both of your feet facing the target in a full stride.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #2:</strong></div>
<p>When ready, drive your chest out over your front foot while continuing to relax your arm. All of your weight is now on your front foot.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #3:</strong></div>
<p>Once your chest hits the wall, extend your elbow above your head and out in front of your body, finishing the pitch. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR FRONT KNEE TO MOVE.</p>
<p>* The goal of this drill is to shift your weight as fast as possible while relaxing your arm. Velocity is based on how fast you can shift your weight and then transfer that into the ball. This is why it is important to stabilize the front leg and not let it bend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this drill is to enforce the “Load” position. To perform this drill you need a step or box about a foot high or higher based on your leg strength. The higher the lift, the stronger your legs must be to “Hold the Load.” To learn more about the importance of the &#8220;Load&#8221; position read this article <a href="http://topvelocity.net/lift-for-show-load-for-doe/">&#8220;Lift for Show, Load for Doe.&#8221;</a><span id="more-1714"></span></p>
<h2>Instructions:</h2>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic # 1</strong></div>
<p>Start with your basic leg lift. A slight bend in your back knee and shift your weight more over your back leg.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic # 2</strong></div>
<p>As you start your hips to the target, squat hard on your back leg. Hold this position as you lower your front leg to the ground with your hips moving towards the target.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #3</strong></div>
<p>The goal is to land in this position. This is a difficult drill so it will take time to be able to land the drill in the position in the picture. Notice that the back leg is turned over and the hip is pointing towards the target. Also notice that the front knee is not bending over the front toes. The upper body is in full “Separation.” Glove arm pointing towards target and throwing arm is relax with a pinch of the shoulder blade to hold it back.</p>
<p><em><strong>* Do not allow yourself to fall into the final position. Control the stride and focus on holding the load position in picture 2. This is the only way you will be able to match the final position of the drill.</strong></em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main purpose of a Drill, is to practice a component of the delivery that will help to correct a mechanical flaw. I also believe it is important to add resistance to a drill to help imprint the new muscle memory.</p>
<p>The drill below should be performed 2 &#8211; 3 days a week, for at least 3 &#8211; 4 months. The drill should also be performed after completing the &#8220;Flexibility Training&#8221; portion of the Fusion System which can be found in the <a href="http://topvelocity.net/ace-pitcher-handbook/">Ace Pitcher Handbook</a> included in the <a href="http://www.topvelocity.net/">3X Pitching Velocity Program</a>.  You will also find a ton more drills in the 3X programs. Try to push each drill to muscle fatigue, if possible.<span id="more-800"></span>What you will need to perform the drill is your glove, a hiking or weight belt and some resistance bands or tubing. All of these products can be purchased here at the <a href="http://www.topvelocity.net/store/">Equipment Store</a>.</p>
<p>The purpose of this drill is to learn how to develop more momentum in your lower half through triple extension (3X) and use that momentum to build torque in the core. Connect the bands to the belt and then to a fence or preferably have someone hold the bands.</p>
<h2>Instructions:</h2>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #1:</strong></div>
<p>Start in the stretch position, with the bands held tight behind you.  Lift your leg and lead with your front hip towards the target as you drive the belt forward, as if you are pitching the ball. Remember to keep your head over your belt buckle as your hips move forward and do not let your back knee bend forward over your back toes. Now, move into the &#8220;<a href="http://topvelocity.net/the-load-position/">Load</a>&#8221; position (select &#8220;Load&#8221; to view). This will help you build more momentum.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #2:</strong></div>
<p>This picture does not show a good stride because of the frame restrictions. Triple extend your drive leg before your front leg lands into a full stride with at least a 6 inch drag line in your back foot. The goal is to generate as much power as possible, without letting your shoulders commit to the target. Drive your back hip through hard, by kicking your drive leg ankle through before your front foot lands. You should work hard to get your back hip close to your front knee and your back shoulder over your back leg when finished, like in the picture.</p>
<div style="display: block; background: black; color: white;"><strong>Pic #3:</strong></div>
<p>If you are having a hard time holding your shoulders back, as you drive your hips forward, then use a broom stick to keep your shoulder back and loaded.</p>
<p>The goal of the drill is to train momentum by building as much power as possible through triple extension in your back leg. DO NOT let your shoulders travel with your hips. This will prevent you from using your hard earned power to build torque in your core, like in picture #2. You want to generate as much hip to shoulder separation as possible.</p>
<p>Most pitchers do not have any understanding of optimal core torque. If this is the case, when you hit Pic #2 it may feel awkward. Just make sure you are in the same position as the picture. This component is called &#8220;Triple extension and separation.&#8221; This drill should fatigue your hips and legs. Work Hard!</p>
