Contrast-Weight Transfer Overspeed Drill: Cut Your Glove-to-Release Time
Infielders shave tenths off their glove-to-release time by alternating rapid exchanges with an overload (heavy) ball and an underload (light) ball, then finishing with a regulation ball while a stopwatch times the exchange. The heavy ball builds strong, efficient hands; the light ball trains the nervous system to move faster than normal, so the regulation transfer feels quick and clean.
⏱ ~15 min📋 3 rounds. Each round = 6 overload exchanges + 6 underload exchanges + 6 regulation exchanges (18 per round, 54 total). Time reps 4-6 of the loaded rounds and all 6 regulation reps. Rest 45-60s between rounds.
