Game-Changing Sleeve for Softball - Kinetic Arm
The world's first and only dynamic arm stabilizer, has recently emerged in sports as an imperative arm care tool for athletes and is being worn by softball pitchers, catchers, outfielders, and infielders. The Kinetic Arm is a one-of-a-kind tool that provides dynamic elbow and shoulder support while throwing and swinging.
Softball is a dynamic and physically demanding sport that places significant strain on the elbow and shoulder joints. As softball players strive for peak performance, protecting these vulnerable areas becomes crucial to stay in the game.
This revolutionary sleeve is backed by data and published research and has been scientifically proven to offload dynamic arm stress.
HOW IT'S DIFFERENT THEN OTHER SLEEVES & HOW IT WORKS
The Kinetic Arm K2 Sleeve is a slim profile sleeve that may look similar to compression or traditional elbow sleeves, but it goes beyond traditional compression sleeves and sports sleeves. This is because it has a patented MuscleWeb™ design that offers a range of benefits to softball players that exceed what other products offer.
In this blog, we will dive into how the Kinetic Arm helps softball players in all positions maximize performance and minimize injury risks.
1. Dynamic Multi-Joint Stabilization: The Kinetic Arm K2 Sleeve is designed to be worn in action while in practice and game, to help safeguard the arm by externally offloading dynamic arm stress, by stabilizing the elbow and the shoulder.
2. Externally Offloads Arm Stress: The Kinetic Arm is backed by data and published research and has been scientifically proven to offload dynamic arm stress. It works because it has a patented MuscleWeb™ design which has a strategic network of polymers built-into the sleeve that give unrestricted support the elbow and the shoulder while throwing and swinging. Having this external web of support system over the arm during softball activities such as throwing, pitching, and fielding, gives the arm increased multi-joint stability, that helps contribute to optimized mechanics, throwing control, consistency and accuracy, along with reduced arm stress that can lead to fatigue, pain, and overuse injuries.
3. Reduces Arm Fatigue for Sustained Performance: The repetitive nature of softball can lead to fatigue, which can lead to pain and injury. Fatigue also can impact performance in terms of compromising mechanics, accuracy, and velocity. The kinetic sleeve helps to not only promote cleaner arm actions, maintain proper arm path, but it also helps to reduce arm strain and thus fatigue. Allowing players to achieve longer durations because they have less excess wear and tear on their arm. By reducing stress and fatigue, this kinetic sleeve is a tool that can help players sustain performance throughout games and practices, to help them maintain consistency and minimize the risk of arm overuse injuries due to stress and fatigue-induced compensations.
4. Enhanced Confidence: Wearing the Kinetic Arm K2 Sleeve is instilling a sense of securing and support to players arms, which they claim has been a boost to their confidence while throwing and swinging. Players can concentrate fully on their intention with regards to development and technique while pitching, fielding, and hitting. This confidence boost has translated into their ability to maximize performance enabling them to showcase their skills without unnecessary setbacks.
This is why the Kinetic Arm has emerged in softball as a valuable asset for players seeking to protect their arm while maximizing performance on the field. Wearing this dynamic arm support, that reduces arm stress has given players the ability to play with more confidence by having the support they need to excel in their game.
Embrace the advantages of the Kinetic Arm and elevate your softball performance while safeguarding your elbow and shoulder health. Play with power, precision, and peace of mind!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best sleeve for softball pitchers? The K2 sleeve is best for the softball fast pitch and pitching motions. The compressive nature of the sleeve helps to secure the humeral head of the shoulder so it stays compressed into the glenoid of the shoulder throughout the windmill motion, helping to offload the rotator cuff and biceps tendon.
Can I wear this sleeve while hitting?
Yes, softball and baseball players wear the K2 sleeve on their lead shoulder while hitting. The K2 sleeves has a slim-profile that can easily be worn in practice and game under uniform.
Do other players other than pitchers wear the Kinetic Arm?
Yes, the Kinetic Arm can be extremely beneficial for catchers, infielders, and outfielders, because they are also susceptible to various arm injuries like shoulder strains, elbow issues, and general wear and tear due to repetitively throwing. Catchers especially, endure long and physically demanding games, and their arms can fatigue over time. The Kinetic Arm gives targeted elbow and shoulder support while throwing, to help offload arm stress that can lead to pain, fatigue, and possible injury. Wearing the Kinetic Arm increases overall arm stability and longevity without excessive fatigue so catchers can maintain better throwing mechanics resulting in more accurate and efficient throws, and more confidence behind the plate.
What is the difference between the K1 Brace and K2 Sleeve?
The K1 brace is a soft adjustable brace that has a multi-strap system that can be adjusted to vary the support and be customized for different arm care needs. It is recommended by medical professionals for arm workload management, recovery, and rehabilitation. The K1 Brace is a great workload management tool, and is the best option for arm recovery and rehabilitation option since it has an adjustable multi-strap system to adjust tension to assist with acceleration and deceleration control.
The K2 Sleeve is a slim-profile sleeve that encompasses the elbow and the shoulder, and has one adjustable strap to customize fit and different chest sizes. This kinetic sleeve gives high level dynamic support for everyday practice and play, and is an easy to wear arm care tool that can be worn in practice and under uniforms in game.The K2 Sleeve is also worn by pitchers and catchers as a layer of protection on lighter days, or under uniform in game.Athletes do alternate between the K1 Brace and K2 Sleeve depending on their workload, arm care needs, and preferences.
If you are unsure which one would be right for you, you can try both, because there is a 14-day return policy.
