JZZ Technologies Wows Athletes, Coaches, Scouts and Former Major League Baseball (MLB) Players During The Inaugural Breakthrough Series 2008 In Compton California

Phoenix, AZ - (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - August 27, 2008 -- JZZ Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: JZZI) is pleased to announce today that the Company achieved tremendous success at the recent Inaugural Breakthrough Series held on July 21-25, 2008 in Compton, California.

As part of an agreement made with Academy Director Darrell Miller, JZZ Technologies was a sponsor for the event and donated testing for the participants. Athletes from all over the country were able to leave the testing site with a report and review their assessment the same day. Many in fact took them back to their hotel room to review on their own computers and see if there was anything they might try different the following day.

Each player received a three-dimensional (3D) motion capture assessment which measured how biomechanically efficient they performed their swing. Things identified were: where they maximized their bat speed, what their bat speed was at contact (in every direction) and all of the positions their body was in during every aspect of the swing. The data was collected through the use of electromagnetic sensors, NOT CAMERAS, which allows the software to measure efficiency through the use of OBJECTIVE DATA and gives exercise recommendations to address the inefficiencies in individuals’ swings. The animation of their swing which can be viewed in multiple angles, sizes and speeds and their reports were delivered to the athletes in a CD-ROM format.

Most of the athletes wanted to know their bat speed immediately, but all were excited to find out HOW to improve their swing. Coaches and scouts who were present were impressed and some even requested copies of reports.

Darrell Miller was quotes as saying, “The feedback has been tremendous.”

“We are very excited to partner with the Urban Youth Academy,” said Aaron Pines President and CEO of JZZ Technologies. He went on to say, “it’s a rare opportunity these days to find a direct way to impact the inner city youth and provide them an opportunity to showcase the very impressive talents they have. They are doing a great service at the Academy and we are proud to be a part of it.”
