Curve/Change

[Stonecrabs02]

Does any one have any info on a curve/change?

Are you referring to an offspeed curve ball? My DD typically throws her curve ball as hard as she can, but when she throws a drop/curve she can vary the speed. We practice throwing it at 50%, 75% and 100%.

My dd throws an off speed curve. Deep in the hand and 2 knuckles, that may differ with your dd. Here is her grip for it. Fast arm, lots of spin and lots of hand on the ball to keep the speed down.

^^^THIS^^^ if you want a massive break. Spot on advice right down to the grip in the photos. With some practice she will be able to make it break the width of the plate routinely. Nicely done Sling.

Is it thrown palm down, up or other? Which fingers pull?

 

[slingnit]

Palm up, ring finger pulls the seam.

Thanks! Looking forward to playing with it!

My DD threw an off-speed curve without the fingers bent. It was a nasty pitch. I just wanted to add that it can be thrown without the bent knuckles. I teach my students it without the bent knuckles.

I can show them this grip, but heavens, my pitchers always freak out when you ask them to bend a finger.
