    Thoughts on a crazy idea?

    Step-Style Pitching

    my DD was a stepper for her first 2 yrs pitching and we switched her to L&G. she struggled with her timming and release for the first 2 months in the offseason but she has a great coach. they worked it out and her speed is awsome and she hits her spots very well. I think for MY DD it was the...

    Revfire owners help please

    you are right about the seams but thats what different grips on pitches do, a 4 seam is flat and a 2 seam has movement. the faster the spin on the 2 seam the later the break at the plate, the same for the screw and curve. more spin and and speed on the 4 seam makes it flat and strait. a knuckle...
