I'm thinking of getting Jaeger's long toss program because I've heard many good things about it.

About the J-bands, if I already have some regular resistance bands(http://www.latimes.com/media/alternatethumbnails/photo/2007-09/32340395.jpg) then do I still need to buy the J-bands, or will the regular resistance bands work?

thanks!

We use Jaeger and I swear by it. In regards to the bands whatever bands you have are fine. Jaeger bands are nothing more than regular bands with there logo on it.

ok thanks and the entire program is in the thrive on throwing dvd right?

To be honest I got as much or more info on the program from youtube videos or other websites than I did from the dvd. Just go to youtube and search Jaeger and then Google the same and you can get good excerpts from the program.

I was told by a pitching coach that the velcro wrist straps are preferred because it doesn't make the hand grip in an unnatural manner. It does allow gripping a baseball if desired. I bought the explanation and figured it was worth a few more bucks after the thousands I have already spent on this journey!
