Major League Step for V-Flex
With opening day just around the corner, I'm tremendously excited about our upcoming season in the Major Leagues. After using V-Flex with several Cubs hitters during spring training in Mesa, AZ, hitting coach Chili Davis has decided to take V-Flex on the road. He knows increased spatial awareness and strike recognition skills are a premium competitive advantage at the [...]
Next Stop: Dominican Republic
2018 is shaping up to be a historic year for V-Flex. Sales are continuing to grow and the client list gets longer day by day. I'm extremely excited about sending the new VXB-4 to the Dominican this year. The World Champion Houston Astros purchased pieces for their Dominican Summer League (DSL) teams as did the [...]
Fun at ASU
It was a night I will remember for a long time.... "throwing out the game ball at the ASU vs Minnesota softball game on March 9, 2018". Trisha Ford is one of our biggest advocates, she began using V-Flex when she was at Fresno State University in 2015. The Bulldogs put up some impressive numbers [...]
R&D Pays Off....
Research and development never stops at V-Flex. On my recent trip to Arizona I made a deal with the Asst. Director of Player Development for the Rangers, Paul Kruger, to exchange our new overhand model for our first generation V-Screen. We've come a long way since 2013.

The brain can see things that the eyes and cognitive mind can't. As a matter of fact, our perceptual reality arises from the brains interpretation of billions of bits [...]

Overcoming the subjective nature of sports marketing is difficult. It requires credibility be built upon non-bias data and product performance. Four recent additions to [...]
Breaking "Status Quo Bias"
Regardless of how well a coach communicates, it’s impossible to describe something that's invisible. "Swing at strikes" is one of the most used phrases in the game but it is still one of the least understood concepts. Coaches use all sorts of phrases and drills to motivate and manipulate hitters psychologically hoping to affect cognitive attributes of pitch recognition. Cognitive [...]
Sales up 28%
2017 sales were up 28%. Its our largest jump in sales since 2014. Seven years of consistent growth is directly tied to team results. We've never seen a spike in sales due to targeted advertising or big name endorsements. Consumers seem to be immune to advertising these days. [...]
World Champion Astros Set Precedents
On Friday, the World Champion Astros became the first MLB origination to equip their entire affiliate system with V-Flex. The move is one that sets a precedent and expresses confidence in implicit training. It also shows their ability to implement scientific principles tied to strike swinging efficiency. Back in 2016 they placed a couple of V-Flex pieces with [...]
