    The Wrist

    @ArmWhip But would you agree that there still is no "wrist snap" (extension/flexion) in that cricket video? It's the forearm pronating and more or less the shoulder being the axis of the centripetal force creating the velocity.

    The Wrist

    Edit: I meant to say that Ken B's statement is spot on I think. I consider a wrist snap an extension of the wrist to flexion. Some people may have different definitions. The whole point of IR is that the wrist is stable (not necessarily tense) and the ball gets let out right after IR hopefully...

    New Facebook Group to get Feedback from a lot of DFP members

    Hi All, I've created a fbook page Softball Pitching Advice and Analysis (https://www.facebook.com/groups/900987577180529) where you can post videos and get feedback from pitching coaches. The page is to combat a lot of other sites that will have random people commenting bad advice. At least...

    Coach at a click

    She is pretty close. I usually agree with most of things she says.

    Change up help

    A lot of my kids throw the same one with bullet spin titled down. I encourage a faster spin rate usually by cueing them to relax the thumb or feel the fingers roll up the side of the ball. I'm not talking speed. I'm just talking spin rate.

    Need some help

    If you are trying to throw a turn over do you grip it on the 2 seam or 4 seam to create 4 seam rotation? After you answer that when she throws it right which way does the ball actually spin seam orientation wise. Meaning does it spin 6-12 with a 2 seam orientation or 4 seam orientation. An...

    Sorry late to the thread. Besides all the nice cues that everyone provided here sometimes it's in the process. When I start my kids the start at 5' getting the spin right and relaying the spin they are seeing to me. Then when the are at 80% perfection with it they can move back to 10' and...

    New IR drill

    Yes you are probably the only one who doesn't know who they are 🙃. Austin Wasserman has become one of the leading people behind proper overhand throwing mechanics which the softball world has desperately needed. https://www.highlevelthrowing.com/austin/ The Footdoctor, Esia Riveria, is a...

    New IR drill

    @Hillhouse Good question. 🤔

    New IR drill

    I agree with Ken. The drill I think is intended to create some hip to shoulder separation. Not saying I completely agree with it. It goes along the beliefs that the hip should lead the shoulder slightly before release which also creates brush. As Pauly's 4d motion stats will tell you that...

    Hitting self in leg

    I agree with Tony. Arm is too straight. Her posture is not helping but as her inner bicep comes into her body the elbow should be more bent keeping the hand away from the body. If she IR's too quickly then her hand leads instead of the elbow.

    The "No Hello Elbow" instructor list.

    Since this site always has inquiries as to where you can find I/R instructors this was a list that was started. It's editable so please add yourself if you don't teach hello elbow or wrist flips. That is as basic of a criteria as we made the list not all instructors call it I/R or they may...

    Looking for an I/R pitching instructor in Minneapolis Metro area.

    Whether IR is easier or not depends on where the kid starts from. There are kids who are already naturally doing it and kids who are not. If they are not, it's harder for sure. Tincher: doesn't explain in detail what happens from 9:00 on (or keeps it a secret) and just says that's the elbow...

    Pitch Tracker from Diamond Kinetics

    Yes I did. And, I did a short testing with various radars. edit...video not attaching.

    A new spin tool I created

    I have one. I've used it on occasion as a different cue with a kid who I had trouble explaining or seeing other ways. I rarely use it to full pitch just some spins. It was a good visual. Not all kids are going to put in the time to really read spin or to stay focused on it. So I like that...

    Arm circle question.

    I think you need to look a little upstream as to why her posture and arm are doing what they are doing. I'd bet if you could fix the legs more the arm will fall in line more. The last couple frames of the pitch wouldn't pull up for me for some reason.

    Drop Ball Questions

    Most likely your 12-6 fastball axis has a slight tilt where you side the right side of the ball. Making it more 7-1. I get dyslexic with the numbers but I also am trying to be consistent with the pitchtracker ball I use. They refer to it as 6:00 =(6-12 or 12-6 however you want to view it) or...

    I think he meant axis not seam.

    IR Pitching

    You would need to send a video of a pitch. Check her posture though.
