Video example from this past weekend. This is probably the best example. Good throw but the ball doesn't leave her hand until the runner is halfway to 2nd.
This is mechanics.
1. Can count the tenths of seconds wasted carrying the ball backwards.
2. While throwing hand is Waiting
(relaxed at that)
(body is waiting) for the glove hand to bring throwing hand the ball.
3. When the glove hand/arm is moving backwards it limits the front side muscles from helping pull/move body into throw.
(waiting is not exploding)
Good news is~
Getting rid of the ball should/can be faster!
We can transition in front and use our front side into pivot exploding forward.
(same muscles used in a cartwheel) with hips/torso/shoulders.
( to erniekru notations can pick up body speed, *ball has to be in throwing hand already to throw, and produce more throwing speed)
Suggestion my previous posted drill.
*Turn Take.
Activate throwing hand get to the glove transition in front.
This discussion could be about what mechanics someone may preffer.
Can say from viewing this and shaving pop time speeds from changing where transition is. Her pop time can come down.
Not trying say you must change. Simply sharing the experiences in the difference in mechanics.
