My DD-14 is just now experimenting to learn a movement pitch or two. is there anywhere on the internet that we can see different grips & maybe short explanations for different pitches??
At an indoor practice last weekend I watched an older girl throwing a pitch that seemed to move really well . she gripped the ball much like my DD grips a circle change except maybe the circle with the forefinger wasnt quite closed & the pitch was definitely a drop, & seemed to be a drop curve to me. I had DD try it this week & wow could she make it move, but had no control whatsoever. 90% hit the dirt well in front of the plate. I intend to work on this one some more- maybe if she gets it in the air more I can tell more about the curve or not. thanks for the help.
