I'm right here.
I found the I/R Bat Drill on You Tube, but there was no audio. Can someone explain the intent of the bat drill? Is it to demonstarte how the energy feels through the motion? Or the sensation the muscles should be feeling? Or how the follow through should feel? Or something totally different?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I'm just about to jump off into teaching my 8yo how to pitch, and have been researching IR. I'm curious to hear what those way more knowledgeable than me have to say about this one.

FYI that's boardmember. search the stickies in the pitching forum by him and you'll likely find that video and his explanation. He's very good at explaining the pitching motion.

Or the sensation the muscles should be feeling? Yes

Or how the follow through should feel? Yes

Or something totally different? Yes. The feeling of how the bicep and forearm rotates from facing backward to facing forward, or from being EXternally Rotated to being INternally Rotated, and from Supinated (palm up) to Pronated (palm down) to gain a basic understanding of how one actually "throws a ball underhand" properly.........

Thanks in advance.

BM, tried to send you a pm. Your box is full.

Oh Crap!........This place never warns you when the box is full, and I forget to check.........Wish they had a way to warn you. Wish they had more storage for sure.

I just deleted 75 pm's to make some room. Probably deleted some that I forgot to respond to. Hopefully they will re-send.
