I/R in the Classroom
Nope, but I know flicking an underhand spiral with a nerf football works wonders. Football spins right and the hand turns over AFTER IT'S GONE, otherwise you can't throw a spiral.- BoardMember

Short term goals for pitching
A really good goal when teaching your own DD is to be able to still have dinner with her after a lesson vs. her not talking to you for 24 hours.....;)- BoardMember

controversy
Hey how is everyone here? How you're all well! To be REALLY CLEAR. All of the posts that I've ever made here on I/R talk about the correct way to throw a ball underhand, and how to teach coaches to teach the underhand throw correctly. That's it. No one will ever convince me that ALL OR EVEN...- BoardMember

For your viewing fun
Ok so I just stopped by to see how the old crowd is gettin along and saw this tread from Bill about Nunthia. I’ve educated Nunthia more then once on here, and had lots of fun doing it. I stopped because I didn’t want to be responsible for his blood pressure. Now I’m gonna have to check out...- BoardMember

Lock it in drill
NJSwampdragon: “Maybe it's just time to give up, as I don't get it.“ Boardmember: “Or, dig in hard and figure it out.” Glad you took the latter road. Paid off in spades. She looks really good from her drill position. She’s getting much closer to playing catch underhand naturally and with...- BoardMember

Change
Here are a couple different things to know/understand when learning to throw change up that might help you. Both involve creating dorsiflexion in the wrist early and holding it through the delivery. 1.). Shutting down any portion of the accelerator in the whipping action allows for the same...- BoardMember

Lock it in drill
Yes Sky the globetrotters were awesome as well. But here’s here’s my point. Old guy loves to tell us how Feigner taught him to pitch which makes him a great coach in his opinion. Who do you think helped hone my pitching skills some 40 years ago when I was an 20yo lad. Hint: it wasn’t the...- BoardMember

Lock it in drill
Ok great old guy, let’s make a deal. I’ll never try to teach an 80+ year old man to pitch (something I’ve never done anyway), and you stop posting how awesome you are in this thread (something you seem to do a lot on this board). Here’s some food for thought. Who do you think was a more...- BoardMember

Lock it in drill
Step 2 in my IR classroom is the 9:00 drill or (Unlock it). That's exactly what your 1st drill video mimics, so good for you guys for not giving up on the progression. I'm gonna say that the lock it in drill helped to teach her to "throw the ball underhand" with a semblance of IR, by...- BoardMember

Bullet spin, spin/ball release.
Fan, even a smooth ball will theoretically move toward the direction that is spinning away from the resistance. On a drop, the bottom of the ball is spinning backwards and helping the air move faster over the bottom surface. The top of the ball is spinning forward into the wind and...- BoardMember
