spins, spin toys, spin workouts

[fastpitch91]

Hey Marc lets talk about a workout for spins.... Lets say you ahve all the toys you can buy or concoct on your own:
spin right spinner (hockey puck like disc)
fastspin trainer (ball on stick with a loading spring)
zip ball ( little ball from cindy Bristow softball excellence)
cannonball (16 oz ball - hard one not the squishy one)


1. What are people experiences/ ideas for good hand finger stength spin improvement?
2. what is a good routine for training routine - sets, reps, frequency, weekly schedule

As reference and to start the discussion
we use spin right to get the right direction and rotation
fastspin trainer in a combination of hard twists ( 2 x 15 with the spring tight) with fast spins ( 2 x 10 with it all the way loose)
zip ball for live pitching with the finger tips to max spin
cannonball for rise ball spin strengthing and 12 oclock rotation ( spin from stance in open positon onto cement floor and look for ball to bounce staright back up to the hand)

Thanks

Not sure what ever happened to just using a ball as they'd sit on the couch. It worked pretty well for me. I'm sure there's a lot of validty to the gadgets out there but a lot of them are simply junk. Use a ball. That's what he/she will be throwing in an actual game anyway.. not the spinner. The sooner they learn how to spin the ball using the seams, the more ahead she'll be.

Bill, I couldn't agree with you more. My daughter has been using the spinner for over a year working on this rise, with some success but never the "true" riseball spin. And then we watched you clinic where you screwed 2 balls together, we have been using it for 2 weeks and now she can see what the right spin is. I have to now where a mask. Thanks.
