Ken Knutson - Head Baseball Coach, University of Washington
"The overall effectiveness of the Leather Pitching Target has exceeded my expectations.  It is an exceptional product with impressive durability and best of all, it makes our program better.  My guys love the quality and sound of your target."

Bill Krueger - Fox Sports Northwest baseball analyst and former MLB pitcher
"My experience with the target has been outstanding.  It has created a very practical way for all of my pitching students to learn and improve their fastball control.  They love the competitive aspects of it also, and it levels the competitive playing field between those that throw hard and those that don’t.  I think it is a fantastic teaching tool, and would highly recommend it to any aspiring pitcher.  I also think that every Little League team should have one to help develop pitching."

Dave Jorn - Pitching Coach, University of Arkansas
"We recently started using the Leather Pitching Target and our pitchers are having a lot of fun with it.  In our program, we put a lot of emphasis on location and the Leather Pitching Target allows our pitchers to work on command every day.  Often times between classes, when catcher's are unavailable, they can get some good work in.  I like the fact that they can get a lot of extra work in on their own.  They repeat their deliveries and work on a consistent release point.  I see this product as a valuable tool for improving pitching."

Troy Cate - Minor league pitcher
"I used to throw into a net, but this off-season I am upgrading my pitching workouts by using the Leather Pitching Target.  It helps me fine-tune my command and get ready for spring training.  I'm impressed with the authentic sound and I get immediate feedback on the location and quality of every pitch.  Finally, a pitching target good enough for professional pitchers!"

Tim Kuykendall - Head Baseball Coach, Auburn High School, Auburn, WA.
"I love it!  The Leather Pitching Target has been a great tool for our High School program and our indoor training facility.  I have used it with players ranging from 7 years old to adult baseball league.  I use it for a lot of reasons such as its durability, visual feedback, and its easy access and transporting.  However, the number one reason is its emphasis on developing fastball command.  We constantly preach the importance of location and the ability to move the ball up and down, in and out.  The Leather Pitching Target has helped us develop a system where our pitchers can work on command in the zone.  Plus, it's fun for our staff to have competitions with the different skill tests.  We purchased another one this year so we can maximize our practice efficiency by having two stations going at once."

Ray Swanson - Pitching Instructor, Performer's Competitive Edge, Rigby, ID.
"The Leather Pitching Target is an innovative breakthrough in training pitchers. It is better than any other target or screen I have ever used. My pitching students have a great time working on control and small adjustments. The impact sound is authentic and the impression gives immediate feedback on the quality of every pitch. It is something that should be used by every team and every serious pitcher. It is perfect for between start bullpens and short distance work. The drills, games, and competitions are addicting and they make working on control and sequencing a lot of fun. I have players from age 9 through professional pitchers, and all agree that it is awesome. Having coached 10 years at the Junior College level, I can honestly say I wish I had this product years ago. It would have changed the way practice was run with our pitchers."

Rusty Trudeau - Baseball/Softball National Sales Manager, Baden Sports
"The Leather Pitching Target stands alone as the highest quality pitching target available.  With Online Ranking, they have separated themselves even further from the competition.  I'm a firm believer in the product and the company that stands behind it."

Ted Buffington - Performance Enhancement Researcher & Consultant
"Mike has always had the vision of a product that would integrate the two key components of learning, 1.) the ability to calibrate performance and  2.) the ability to get immediate & accurate feedback. Success can happen by accident but achievement is purely by design and that is quite evident with his ‘Leather Pitching Target.’  After several years of research, Mike has come up with the best ‘Self-Directed Training’ product that I have ever seen.  I have spent my entire life devoted to understanding and creating high performance skills.  I applaud Mike Swanson’s manifestation of a long time vision.  He has definitely earned the recognition of an Achievement By Design champion.  If you are serious about taking your game to the next level, take advantage of all that the LPT has to offer."

B.A. Garner, Tacoma Community College, Tacoma, WA.
"The target has greatly assisted me in workouts by providing an accurate, realistic and easy to use tool to improve my performance on the mound.  I'm ready for the next level in large part because of it.  I’ve learned the importance of getting into pitcher advantage counts and then hitting pitcher advantage locations.  I started out with the 7-11 skill test at a distance of 30’ and I am now all the way back to 40’, consistently hitting my spots.  Just think how good I will be when I am commanding my pitches at 50’, then 60’.  This new target is simply fantastic!  I’ve never had so much fun getting good."

Kyle Krzyznieski - Thomas Jefferson High School, Federal Way, WA. 
"I think your pitching target is great. It is perfect for practicing location and accuracy with all pitches. I liked being able to practice alone, without a catcher. Usually when you practice baseball you have to have somebody to play with. With this target I could practice by myself on my own time. It also helped my mental side of pitching. It is hard to explain, but with the Leather Pitching Target, I could practice my mental thoughts while pitching. I learned that when I bore down, relaxed, and really focused, I usually hit my spot.  I definitely think this was a big reason for my success last season."
