How it works
Three Steps. Any Ball. Any Tap.
1
Attach
Insert the adapter into your ball, add a splash of washing up liquid so it keeps its bounce, then attach the adapter to any tap.
2
Fill
Run the water. Water makes the ball heavy. Add or remove water to change the weight.
3
Train
Throw it against a wall. The heavy ball builds the muscles you use in a throw-in, and it bounces straight back so you can repeat the movement.

What players say
Real Players. Real Throws.
★★★★★
“Frank's heavier ball technique gave me real power gains. The results were night and day. The team had a long throw option and I'd added another weapon to my game.”
★★★★★
“I've seen first-hand the improvements Frank's techniques bring. His attention to detail is second to none. I'd recommend any player with the appetite to develop a long throw.”
★★★★★
“I couldn't reach the 6-yard box before. Now I'm consistently hitting the edge of it. The technique and heavy ball training made a noticeable difference.”

FAQ
Does the adapter fit any tap?
It fits most standard household indoor and garden taps and makes a watertight seal.
Will it work if I'm not already strong?
Yes. You start with only 1 to 2 litres of water. Most players add 5 to 8 metres in the first 3 weeks, because technique improves before strength.
Why not just use a medicine ball?
A medicine ball doesn't copy the movement of a throw-in. Training with a football means the strength you build carries straight into your game.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide. UK delivery is free, and international shipping is free and fully tracked.
Do you have packages for coaches and clubs?
Yes. The Coach, Club and Academy packages include adapters, the coaches course and certification, plans for every team and WhatsApp support. See the packages.
