Maybe I'm seeing this wrong but it looks like IR mechanics and the corkscrew curve to me. When I think of the the palm up curve, I think of the elbow blocking at the hip and the palm/wrist extending away from the body while keeping the palm facing the sky. Any palm up video from the front view?
I wanted to bump this thread. My daughter is 12 and learning the curve ball. She is being taught the "palm up" curve ball but, in reality, it is a corkscrew curve ball. Does a true palm up curve exist? Any video of it?
Thanks for the bump on this great post by Rick. I could tell that my daughter (turned 11 today) was not generating the proper resistance but now I can understand the 4 points as described by Rick. She was taught HE early on and has a weak core. She has particular difficulty with achieving a...
She looks much better. My daughter takes lessons from a Tincher instructor too. If you continue with the Tincher instructor, her drive mechanics will continue to improve. Our instructor doesn't emphasize the I/R mechanics. I supplement with things I find here on the Forum like Rich Balswick...
It makes sense that there are less RPS measured on the RevFire with increased speed due to the fact there is less time for the ball to rotate. However, I'm unable to figure out if the ball is rotating at the same speed, what is the drop in measured RPS on the Revfire given an increased...
Thanks for the detailed answer. You are right. She tries to muscle the ball with her shoulder at times. She has been practicing with taking a step back after the pitch and this has helped.
