    Question: mechanics and riseball

    Just got back from open gym throwing with DD. She threw pretty well...single knuckle and palm ball working nicely. She has about a 12 mph difference in her knuckle vs fastball with the knuckle actually "dropping" some. Anyway, problem tonite was she was absolutely unable to find the outside...

    rise ball advice

    I would appreciate any and all input on throwing the rise. DD uses "regular" grip...does not curl the forefinger. what is a good beginning drill. Any articles or links/video suggestions are very welcome. Usually I try and do this all myself but this forum has become my base for information...

    pitcher starting

    I would appreciate any thoughts on starting a brand new pitcher. I am going to be starting Sunday open gyms for softball pitchers next weekend. I have started pitchers in the past with the basics. The first thing I like to do is start them out with arm rotation w/no ball and then move to...

    Practicing power and speed before accuracy

    I am a parent/coach and have been my daughters primary pitching "coach" since she was 10 and is now in her first year of college ball. I admit to making more than my fair share of "mistakes" but WE did the best we could with what we had which means youtube, pitching aids and as many lessons and...
