    Drills for improving timing

    Sarah Pauly Observation

    Forearm fire and Internal Rotation

    Ive am new to forum and pitching but have read all the sticky post on here. Questions? 1) Is forearm fire that I've watched on youtube and I/R talking about the same mechanics? 2) Do we need to work drive, mechanics, releases--or opposite? Hope this makes sense ---trying to learn from scratch Thx
