Interesting timing that this clip came out on the FP chat show while there is that other riseball thread going on. Thank you to FP Chat and Gary Leland for making this video. Funny how this clip debunks a lot of what my oldest daughter was initially taught about the rise. "Turn the doorknob", etc. And just as it's explained, all we got for years was bullet spin. It never even occured to us that the wrist "drills" we were doing was actually killing the pitch's ability to spin backward. Another example of a dad just believing someone's 'credentials' instead of doing research: "Jane Doe" played in college and had a killer rise!! But did she actually teach what she did in games? One more "dumb dad" thing I did (which I hope will help someone reading this). I tried like mad to make my own doubleball after going to this coach's lesson. I would either line the balls up wrong or spent countless hours trying to figure out how to make the balls stay together. All in the name of saving $20. LOL. Looking back on it, I laugh at myself.

If this link doesn't work, go to the FP chat show or google FP Chat.
