4 Seam Rise.......Wrist Flexion and "The Barrel"

[BoardMember]

I'm frequently asked: "How do you teach 4 Seam Riseball Spin?"........Here's a snippet from a recent session with another PC........

Although the palm and forearm can't ACTUALLY work up the front of the barrel, especially with good I/R, that thought helps to train the wrist and fingers to work the ball UNDER and THROUGH the ball vs. pulling across the ball........And thinking about trying to gain/maintain some wrist flexion into/through release also helps the fingers work under the ball.........

Just another tool in the box people.........

D*** you and your simple, logical explanations. I want to go back to the old days of voodoo and witch doctors.

I really like the barrel idea... I've been using a hula hoop for years... and I hate answering to people why there's always one in my car. I'm thinking the barrel will look better... maybe a cask...

A keg would be even better IMO.
