Im asking how do u teach the drop and the droo curve

Drop is a 2seam Peel Drop... started from day one... her first pitch... The other pitch we call the ScrewBall...@ different speeds & location. Slow to faster... inside...closer & closer. Hitter gets one swing. You can see that DD never got defensive... she knew that hitter would never get that drop after being FLUSHED back on her heels & out of the box.....



Had her watch ^^^Then did nothing but a Curve for quit awhile....https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58923514/STK/game2.mp4

Then with curve embedded we turned the knob the other way. Here is the resource thread... EDY !!!

My DD has a pretty good drop curve, but it came naturally since her first pitching coach taught her to throw a curve ball with her hand on top of the ball. It was a natural progression to finishing over her knee (drop curve) instead of her hip (curve).
 
Might be wrong, but I'd call that CH ^^^ pitch a screwball.... JMHO

that was her the last pitch to win WCWS :cool:

PC......this looks a little strange....could have sworn Gasgoine was a lefty.....kind like her numbers being reversed on her jersey. Did you get two videos intermixed?
