using a computer

another know it all, yes I use the computer, TV and video called the Henson principle and yes I have to refresh my mind a lot therefore I need to review every day to keep fresh in my mind what I want to teach and to be able to visualize the pitching motion that is suitable for that girl. It appears that you don't like my teaching even though you don't have any idea what I teach.

We are just playing with ya. I know exactly who you are and I am sure you have plenty to offer given your experience. FWIW - It is the Hanson principle. Hensen was the guy with the puppets. :)

Riseball

It's like you got to have a lot of strength to throw a rise ball and some good speed.

I see where Michigan beat BAMA easy. Will they win the world series or will Mike White get his team on top? Some of pitchers have pretty good rises.
I wonder if any do the knuckle up.

Well now Ken B you sound like a know it all and since you know everything about pitching, hitting and softball in general then you surely don't need me.

I am 75 years old, started coaching in Indianapolis at Franklin Township league back in 1989 when there was NO windmill pitching with my daughter , Becky. Actually I started trying to coach her in 1987 but was not having as good results as I liked. I pitched back in the 60's, some in the early 70's then had to quit in 1998 due to knee injury. At one time in the 60's I was clocked with police radar at 74mph.

I have understudied the greatest pitchers of all time, some who lived in Indiana, and Ohio. I even got a couple of lessons from the great late Eddie Feigner himself especially on the rise ball

I was taught the cutter, curve, knuckle up rise and several ways of change and off speed. I got all the works on Jimmy Moore of fastpitch fanatics one of the greatest pitchers of all times. I also have studied, Club K, Hillhouse, Mike White, Mike Andrews, Gillis, and the late grate Fireball Warren.
Now if you think you know more than these guys you don't need me.

That's impressive as long as it wasn't for speeding in a school zone.

Seriously though, your input is more easily considered and discussed when you use the 'reply with quote' function to put it in context!!!

I consider myself a student and find that the more I learn; the more I realize how much more there is to know. I'm glad that you've figured out the "Reply with quote" button so I can put your responses into context. I'm looking forward to reading your input from here on. I wish more folks like you would post their experiences and insight here.
