How do I increase spin rate?

[coach james]

Go to the tennis section of a sporting goods store. You'll find foam balls that are designed for very young tennis beginners or for indoor practice. They're about equal in size to an 11" softball. These are great for pitching into a full length mirror. The pitcher can watch herself getting fully open as well as achieving max arm speed. The ball is light enough that its completely safe for indoor drills!! Three pack is about $8.00

No link...sorry
I've never bought them online. They are yellow and red and I believe "Wilson" is the manufacturer.

Ken,

I think I saw some of these at Walmart. $2.88 for 3.

Why do u want to try these?

 

[coach james]

That top pic of the foam is it!. If you found them for $3.00 that's a steal. I paid $8.00!!!

I'll try anything that helps kids get the feel of something. My worry is that without seams, making a good connection might be tough.

 

[corlay]

I'll try anything

Ken - is that new avatar a 'Bionic Sasquatch' doll?!!

When JJ changed his to Col. Steve Austin, I couldn't help myself...

(And just to be clear, it's an action figure--not a doll... )
