I have been looking at all the forums on IR and was wondering about the release. Where is the hand at release and which way is it facing?
IR is actually more about how the upper arm rotates and less about the forearm/hand/palm. You use IR on every pitch except the changeup, although I suppose you use it on the backhand change but much earlier in the downswing. The forearm/hand/palm have the ability to rotate a lot more than you would think unless you actually test it. To better understand this just drop your arm down to the release point with you bicep pointing at 3rd base and see how much you can rotate the hand/palm, without rotating the upper arm.
The only other problem I am having right now is etting her out of the HE that has been drilled into her. She throws a few pitches with pretty good IR and than goes back to HE. Any drills or tips to help that? Or just reps?
Thank you all. Ill tell her just be natural.
