What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?
Sounds good. I have often had pitchers that start aiming to much throw into the fence or a net from about 20 feet at full power no specific target just working on mechanics. Works pretty well. Take care- stayopen

What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?
A que phrase I've used to help is chin up on release. Push tall & chin up on release. It's worked pretty well for most. Just a thought. Faster arm and waiting for the arm is important. If the kick out/ leap is started before the hand and ball pass the hip from the downswing to the upswing, then...- stayopen

What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?
OK. Yes. I get what your saying about aiming. However in Renard to body and landing positioning, I don't harp on one degree or measurements at all. That will also screw things up.

Yes. I like what you said. My points were definitely more for beginner/ intermediate pitchers who haven't quite got the mechanics down. Of course you can work on buying tighter and tighter spots once you've mastered the mechanics. Again, without very consistent mechanics you can't hit a spot...- stayopen

What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?
I have had a different experience when it comes to hitting spots. I'm a 35 year fastpitch coach & instructor. My thoughts are derived from my experience with multiple dozens of pitchers over that time. It doesn't mean I know everything but I believe my thoughts on the topic are at least worth...- stayopen

Getting the curve
The Drop Curve is a very effective pitch when thrown correctly. It's also a very fast pitch and has lots of spin also when thrown correctly. It is not a roll rover drop gone bad. With the roll over drop you release it with a fully open full resistance body posture. The actual snap is a loose...- stayopen
