Common Catcher Mistakes
Learn how The Blocking Buddy fixes the most common catching mistakes.
Knees hit the ground before the glove, causing the glove to be late and the body to get stuck, forcing the glove to "pick" the ball.
The glove doesn’t go deep enough and stays in front of the knees, leading to flinching or a picking motion.
The Blocking Buddy helps you build the right muscle memory by teaching you to get your glove down and deep, locking you into the proper blocking position. It trains you to use your gear correctly and feel the right movement.
