First off I would like to thank everyone that contributes to these forums, they're a wealth of information!
So I was catching for my 12yo DD last night, she was firing in some fastballs mixing in some very poor attempts at a flip change (we just started working on the flip). She went back to throwing all fastballs and out of nowhere a beautiful curve appeared on one pitch...she's has never practiced a curve. She was thrilled when she threw it...the problems is that she couldn't duplicate it. So my question is...how was she able to throw such a good curveball while she was trying to throw fastballs? It had to be just a slight deviation in mechanics, finger pressure,etc but I'm at a loss of what to tell her. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks,
BG
