Japanese Whistle to help you throw the gyroball

Japanese Whistle to help you throw the gyroball
I saw this picture of a japanese baseball product. It's a whistle that teaches you the correct way to throw the gyroball. I don't know what the package says and was wondering if anyone could translate/help me find the product on the web! Thanks!
The pic of the product is located at http://www.yougoprobaseball.com/translate.html

Is it just me, or is the picture really blurry? I can barely make out some of the characters, but not enough to provide an accurate translation.

So has anyone ever actually thrown this pitch enough for it to be worth the effort? Have there been any interviews with hitters who have seen it about what it looks like? Here we are a couple of years after it was developed, and there's still no one claiming any meaningful success with it.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
