Palm up at 9 oclock?

[BoardMember]

Yep, I'd agree.......Change will be turning earlier........Curve could be also depending the WHAT curve is being thrown. Peel would be turning a bit earlier as well to get the laces squared.......Drop curve or roll drop over may weight longer on the turn over for better I/R over spin........And Rise would of course be palm up........

Just my opinion if anybody cares- The palm facing 3rd base at 3:00 is a neutral position that facilitates the spins for all of the pitches. If you are already under the ball at 3:00 on the rise ball, it reduces some of the rotational potential.

Oh, goodness..... I guess it was posted almost four years ago. Old man may not be around anymore.

Hoping he's still around teaching kids somewhere. Based on the few posts I've read, he sounds like he knows his stuff....

Maybe so, but did he mean 9:00 instead of 3:00?

Many, very good PC's and pitchers would say facing 3B @ 9 o'clock is acceptable.

I know that, but that's not what I mean.

Why is he referring to 3:00. To me, 3:00 is when the ball arm is pointed toward the catcher in the up-swing part of the arm circle, yet he seems to be talking about, what I think of as the, 9:00 position.

Oops... Missed your point. 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock is a regional thing. Send Screwball a PM to confirm this...
