BM- Going for another golden nugget
"This is Alicia Hollowell. She has one of the best peel drops I've ever seen in a female pitcher. If you notice, I've frozen the frame where the ball is NO LONGER in her hand. She has released it at the exact point then her thumb faced forward/down......Her I/R mechanics worked from 3:00 to release, but instead of allowing the forearm to fully pronate (face the ground) after release, she emphasizes a palm up FINISH........NOT RELEASE........Which causes I/R to shut down AT/AFTER release........Which assists her timing at release to ensure she isn't over rotating the ball early........"
Would you say that the amount of I/R used creates the main difference between an insidespin pitch compared to a peel drop is the amount of I/R which is allowed prior to release?
I feel a little foolish now as I always thought of using I/R as an all or nothing component and never viewed it as a vehicle which could be guided and/or restrained for moving the ball. Thanks for the patience.
