Key Takeaways:

  • When to Start Using Plyo Balls:
    Many athletes wonder when it's appropriate to incorporate plyo balls into their routine. We address this by emphasizing the importance of being ready for high-intensity throwing and the distinctions between fireballs and weighted balls.

    We delve into the debate of using light versus heavy plyo balls, stressing the importance of having a clear game plan based on your objectives, whether it’s arm care or speed training.
