Turnover vs. peel drop

[sluggers]

This is a video of my DD. She got about $100K in college education from throwing this pitch. She and I worked on it together for about 2 years until she perfected it. She still throws it today. If you live in Chicagoland, call up Centerfield Sports Academy in Naperville, schedule a lesson and she'll teach you how to throw it.

Slugger, I have no dought that your daughter was a great pitcher and has a great drop ball. I'm just saying that you can't see the release in the video so it does not prove your point about the hand rolling over the top and down the front of the ball on the roll over. I'm sure that is her goal and at full speed it may looks like what she is doing but I still don't think that is what is happening. Post a better angle of the release and lets freeze video at release and see.

I'll refer you to an older post about this subject

Guilty until proven innocent? The "roll-over drop" is a commonly thrown pitch. ...and it is NOT a peel drop by any streatch of the imagination

Slugger question ...in the video of CAT is she throwing a rollover or peel

 

[coachdan]

Cat throws a peel. I listened to her speak at a clinic that my DD attended. I'm also positive that she does not throw a rollover based on what she told us. Her hand is naturally going like that after release but she's not trying to turn over the ball.

I agree she is throwing a peel but I think many pitchers throw this pitch and call it a rollover.

Well, my DD's pitching coach knows the difference and she taught my DD the roll over. They're two completely different animals.

Just curious to see if everyone that said that the hand goes over the top of the ball on the rollover drop still believe that after viewing sluggers video in new thread "Roll over drop"?
