    HE question

    You being intimidated by your way of thinking being challenged does not make what I say BS. It makes you weak. Anyone that wishes to grow is ALWAYS open to differences of opinion. Your clandestine approach to force-feeding IR down peoples throats makes it obvious that you are not someone that...

    HE question

    Do you feel the same about the overhand throw?

    HE question

    The hang up is yours and yours alone. I could care less what it is called. If your point is that everyone does it and it is "natural" then what is the argument. My DD pitches with much success at her age and I don't call it IR or HE. The absence of picking a side/term has not affected her...

    Speed of Motion

    Definitely not arguing the benefits of HE. Which of course I already said of course. Fact is that quantitative analysis should out way poor qualitative analysis.

    HE question

    That is a drop curve. You are taking the title that "Morgan12Stacey" (whoever that is) put on the video as fact. https://www.clubdiamondnation.com/Training/ViewVideo/159

    Speed of Motion

    By focusing on a generalized term that is not the crux of the point are you not in fact trolling?

    HE question

    I believe too much energy is spent on this... although here I am discussing it. What this comes down to is "how do you throw your fastball". Jennie Finch (the most succeessful pitcher EVER) throws her fastball and drop with HE. The rest of her pitches can not be thrown that way as it is...

    HE question

    When you say "more natural finish" what are you basing that on. Kinesthesia or are you just re-stating something you have heard?

    Speed of Motion

    Rhythm and wrist snap is where its at. Check out how relaxed Cat and Farish are through their motion before they launch the ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBLvQBnawew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnPRzQG8s3o Want top speed and movement?? Check out Monica Abbott, but be ready to...

    HE question

    That is not to say that I agree or disagree with Dr Werner, just that there is data out there to make the argument... just to clarify

    HE question

    In short, it is just looked down upon in this forum. If you want to learn more, which any intelligent person would, check our any information you can find on Dr Sherry Werner. She has been working with Doug Finch over 20 years and has proven data on why HE is the safest way to pitch. Fact is...

    HE question

    Senseless response. When an OF throws a ball do they do it underhand?

    I just don't know why she just won't quit

    It is our responsibility as parents to guide our children. To me this means sitting down and having completely open back-and-forth conversations with them about all/any important decisions that affect them. This helps them understand the decision making process and gives them ownership in the...

    What next?

    With only 1 year in and down time for injury setbacks she still falls well within the beginner category. Her biggest set back is that she started late (dependent upon what she wants from softball in the future). My suggestion is that she hunkers down and focuses on mechanics, just as any...

    Crop? Drop Curve

    Here is a good video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0S7fif8jTE

    News Flash: Rise Balls don't Rise!!!!!

    Over the past several years the battle cry of college coaches is that a pitcher needs to specialize in 2 pitches... 1 off-speed pitch and something else. The screw moves much less then the curve so it makes a choice between the two very easy. Now, there is a call for girls to be more well...

    News Flash: Rise Balls don't Rise!!!!!

    A screwball is absolutely possible. Here is a singular example from Youtube. This girl doesn't even appear college age and there is plenty of movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xklHS18jW5Y
