Mike, Just a note to let you know that my girls really liked the perfect circle. All of them. If- you remember me telling you about the girl I had problems with making a good arm circle.... well this solved her problem. I told her to feel it on her hand on her back swing then make the ball slap the perfect circle against her leg on release. She loved it. "Great product"!!!

Thanks for you vision, Robert Boyles

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. I WISH IT WAS AROUND 8 YEARS AGO WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS PITCHING. I WILL PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THE PARENTS OF MY PITCHERS ON MY TRAVEL TEAM, AND ALSO THEIR PITCHING INSTRUCTOR WHO IM SURE WILL RECOMMEND IT TO HER STUDENTS.

GREAT IDEA As a pitching instructor who deals with young ladies who are just starting out learning to pitch, this product is a must for all new pitchers. Building the perfect circle gives continued feedback each time she throws the ball. I would recommend this product to all pitching instructors and new or experienced pitchers. This is a great idea.

Hi Mike: Being a pitching instructor/varsity softball coach (since 1978) & owner of Shootingstar Fastpitch Softball,LLC (a softball school in New Jersey) I applaud you for inventing the Perfect Circle. Since I have been giving private pitching lessons & group pitching instruction I have used many different things (cut pieces of paper or cardboard,old gloves,pieces of pipe insulation,ect.) to accomplish what your device does. Since getting your pitching aid I have discarded all those things & use your perfect circle exclusively. It teaches my students the proper wrist snap-hip relationship, gets them to use their lower body more aggressively/correctly & gives them the instant feedback they need to more quickly incorporate these into their "muscle memory". Any pitcher (regardless of their ability level or age) should use the perfect circle to become "the best they can be".

Yours in Softball, Coach Bob Di Bernardo (Owner & Lead Instructor-Shootingstar Fastpitch Softball,LLC)

Mike, You've come up with a real winner! As a pitching coach in Southern California I made all my students wear The Perfect Circle it for a session. My students along with their parents loved it. It provides instant feedback to beginners as well as advanced students. My newer students made immediate improvements, and served as a reminder to the advanced students in the importance of proper arm rotation. I now require all my students to use it in their sessions with me.

Good Luck, Steve Polk Pitching Coach Westlake Village, CA

Hi. I am a father of a reasonably successful pitcher at North Penn High School and next year in college somewhere. For years my daughter and I attended pitching practice with Mike as our coach in Bensalem. It was here where we were first introduced to the perfect circle trainer. I must say it straightened out my daughter's circle problems and helped her to control her arm and hand rotation to deliver different pitches. The reinforcement is self derived, so without saying anything, my daughter knew whether or not the pitch was delivered correctly.

Hi. I am a student who takes pitching lessons from Mike Fairchild. I have used the perfect circle at practice and found it to help me a great deal. By using the perfect circle trainer I was able to correct my circle on my own, because I knew I was doing something wrong if my hand didn't hit the perfect circle at my release point. I strongly urge any pitcher to use the perfect circle because it will correct any problems they would be having with their pitching circle.

I have used the perfect circle for 6 months now! It has helped me in different ways. It keeps my arm in a perfect circle at all times. It has also helped with my timing. I would recommend this to a hard working pitcher.

After watching my two daughters learn how to pitch various pitches, the 'perfect circle' turned out to be a good pitching aid with positive feedback. The perfect circle immediately told them if they were out of there circle. The perfect circle is a very valuable teaching aid

COACH MIKE,
I USED YOUR INVENTION TONIGHT AT PRACTICE. THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT! IT REALLY HELPED MY ARM STAY ON A TRUE CIRCLE. IT WAS COMFORTABLE TO WEAR AND DID NOT INTERFERE WITH MY PITCHING AT ALL. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

SARAH

COACH,
YOUR PERFECT CIRCLE IS A VALUABLE TOOL AND A WONDERFUL TEACHING AIDE!

REBECCA

I have used the Perfect Circle and it has helped teach me where my arm should be with every pitch I throw keeping it in a perfect circle motion. It's great.

As the father / catcher of a 13 year old pitcher, I have found the "perfect circle" to be a great training device for our practice sessions. It can be used at home or on the field. Now my daughter knows right away if she is out of her circle. Alot of hard work goes into pitching and this helps eliminate release point problems. Using this for 6 months has really been a great help

Dave

Coach Mike,
I have been using the perfect circle for about 6 months and it has helped me learn my new pitch the "drop".  I know right away when I am out of my circle with this pitch. I can use it any time, any where and it has truly helped me with all of my pitches.  It has turned into a great off-season training device.

My name is Stephanie Spicer. I am a sophomore at St. Mary's Hall/Doane Academy. I've been playing softball for two years for my school. I usually play either second or third base and occasionally shortstop. My coach asked me to take pitching lessons to become our team's pitcher. I have been taking lessons for approximately two months. I am using "the perfect circle" to help improve my pitching skills and it is a tremendous help to me.

I have been using the Perfect Circle for 6 months and it has helped me with every pitch, new and old.   It is an instant way of finding out what you are doing wrong in your motion.  With the included dvd, you will see how it should feel and look while using it. I recommend it not only to pitchers who are just beginning, but also those who are advanced and have been pitching for years.

Jenna

Stacie started pitching lessons in June of 2002. She progressed slowly during the following four months. In November 2002, she began using the "Perfect Circle." There was a complete turn around. The progress she is making while using the "Perfect Circle" is remarkable. She now can pitch with much more ease, speed and accuracy. She has gained more confidence in her pitching abilities which promotes her to practice without being prompted or reminded. I highly recommend the "Perfect Circle" to anyone with an interest in learning to pitch or improving their pitching skills.

I'm in ninth grade at Carl Sandburg Middle School and I have been pitching for almost five years. I have been using the perfect circle for about a year and it has helped me be more consistent with my delivery and has made me more aware of my hand position when throwing different pitches. I would strongly recommend this learning aid to any serious pitcher. It has been a big help to me.

Katie Razler

I am the father of two aspiring pitchers. I spend a lot of time catching for my daughters. During the process of their learning new mechanics and pushing for more out of already learned pitches, there are days when things do not go well for them and I can see the frustration rise in their faces. Trying to determine the problem can be difficult because I do not want to make a suggestion for correction that would be incorrect. Since They started using "The Perfect Circle System" I have seen a great decrease in their frustration. They are getting instant feed back and are telling me, rather than asking me, what they did wrong on a particular pitch. Their confidence has increased tremendously. 
David Veacock

I have been pitching for seven months now and have had trouble knowing if my mechanics were right. I kept bruising myself on my hip and thigh trying to make sure I kept my arm close. Now using the "Perfect Circle System" I have a better way of telling if my arm is close or not. It's also helping me with my hand position on different pitches. Its helping me a lot.

Danielle

I've been pitching for a year and a half now. When I started out, I would practice in front of the mirror and then go out and practice my pitching. However, I always had a hard time knowing if I was doing it correctly. Now that I've been using the "Perfect Circle" I can tell immediately whether my arm is in the right place and if my wrist is the right position for the specific pitch I'm throwing. I can now determine myself, whether my mechanics are correct or not.
