HE question

[3bmama]

I can't see how HE is the safest way to pitch when IR encourages a more natural finish, IMO. Ask someone who never pitched before to do so, what do their mechanics most closely resemble?

Lol @ someone who runs a "Fastpitch academy" advocating the way they teach as the safest. Safest in relation to what? A natural finish?

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

Saying HE and IR are stylistic choices and are on equal footing is like saying a Ferrari and a Gremlin are equivalent cars that just differ on style.

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 impossible to achieve curve, or screw spin with crossing over. As for the riseball, see the riseball discussions.

The reason this discussion is in my opinion worthless is that the fastball is thrown so infrequently whether or not you IR or HE wont impact your overall performance.

Could you please show me where in this drop ball by Jenny she demonstrates the HE finish? I'm curious.

No she does not...her delivery is the same as all the great ones. IR....just because she says she does something does not mean she does it....I go back to the request for a clip of a high level HE delivery. No one has ever produced one, and yet there are 1000s of clips of I/R why is that?

Those pesky videos keep getting int he way of superstition. I hope the response to this is...."OH...my bad"

Sure, but I always thought the Gremlin was totally cool
