Baseball products YOU should be using in 2014 

 Part 1 : Ubersense Video Analysis Tools

At pitchpro we use Ubersense video analysis because it is the best way to demonstrate areas players can improve. You cant hide whats on video, and  when you slow it down, it is the best way to see faults that are too difficult to see at regular speed. Ubersense has a user friendly  interface which can record, edit and playback video for frame by frame analysis. There is also a community of baseball players who post useful videos and drills.  Best of all, it is free to use and operate.  If you have a smartphone or tablet, and want to get better, video analysis couldn’t come easier.

Personally, I struggle with dropping my elbow too low through my delivery and getting underneath the baseball. With ubersense, I can slow my video down, mark the elbow, and pinpoint when my elbow drops and how far it drops. I can record one video and split screen another video alongside of it for comparison. I am amazed by the things I can do with the app.   

I wish a tool like Ubersense was availiable to me when I was really getting serious about baseball and working to perfect my delivery.  I remember specifically putting pictures of my favorite players on my mirror and studying their deliveries until I could mimic them.   I kept a picture of Mark Prior at leg lift, foot strike and follow thru on my mirror and would mimic these movements until my delivery looked similar. If I had a tool like this, I could see an actual video of my self and compare it to that of pro pitchers. 

You can find the ubersense app on the IOS appstore….and its free!!
