As a uspta tennis instructor, an artist who's trying to explain BEN HOGAN'S golf swing, and a repressed 68 yr.old whose father died young who was a pitcher in the 40's, I must tell you how DEEPLY healing this video has been. It WILL change my life as I will strive to reach others at this DEEP visceral level. THANK YOU! I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS MOMENT.
If you break your hands closer to the the rubber instead of the middle of your body can that help with getting into the scap after letting gravity take it down
I personally prefer just about all of your methods and opinions as opposed to other baseball velocity training companies that are online. You seem to really know what you’re talking about and not just pushing a business.
Big facts I started their online coaching learned the most I’ve ever learned in pitching in 3 weeks. I can’t wait to see what will happen when I do this program for 6 months
Question regarding the lead arm glove, an issue I have struggled with is early launch- will an improved lead arm contribute to later launch? Better arm health?? Thanks great video..
Do you suggest pulling down glove arm with athletes who are very mobile especially on the upper body? I feel like I’m trying to create more force by muscling up my arm and not capturing a large loop of energy
Obviously going to be a little different for every guy as far as how that cue makes their mechanics respond. In my experience, thinking about winding the glove arm (internal rotation + pronation) and unwinding during the second part of the acceleration phase (foot strike/arm flipped up to release) has had the best results. Again, every guy is going to be different based on their levers and mobility, but keeping that motion in line with the target (or more linear) has a tendency to balance the vertical and horizontal rotation of the torso/shoulders through the lead leg block. - Coan McAlpine
Clarifying question - should the throwing arm be raised behind the head/the arm spiral be finished when you begin to bring the glove arm in (IR to ER)? My sense is that would give you the best timing, with both shoulders externally rotating in sync, but I also see folks begin to pull in the glove arm/rotate the torso when the throwing arm is still parallel to the ground/flat.
Thanks for the comment! Ben's elbow actually isn't below the shoulder in the "cocked" or flipped up position. The elbow is level with the shoulder; however, the shoulders are tilted back. If you are having issues with your elbow actually being below your shoulder at landing, I would recommend cueing it as well as assessing your lat/pec tissue quality and scap upward rotation. Stay tuned for a video on plane of rotation that will cover this a little further. Hope this helps!
Tread Athletics, LLC gotcha. I actually have an issue with bringing my elbow to high. My arm seems to feel better and more powerful when elbow is below shoulder. I know there is opposing view points on this topic. Where do you guys stand?
KT, if you are associating drag with being more powerful, they are not necessarily the same thing. Obviously, there is going to be some deviation from the elbow being directly in line (above or below) with the shoulders depending on the guy and his anthropometry, movement quality, etc..., but I wouldn't recommend cueing a low elbow to create torque / rotational force. If you are curious about the differences, I would recommend using objective feedback (radar gun) to get a better idea. Again, we are going to be discussing this concept a little further in the plane of rotation video coming out soon. But, in short, you are going to want to be in line with your shoulders' plane of rotation in order to maximize your arm path's efficiency / ability to transfer force.

Great Stuff..Ty...I keep watching to refresh My memory
Love the infinity loop sign analogy! Really helped me visualize the motion.
Really great tips - love the tennis serve cue.
Bro the tennis racket one, 🤯 how tf haven’t I thought of it like that
We arent big brains.
love the glove side cue and thoughts. great stuff
Great Stuff, Ben!
trying to fix my sons arm action & i think this video will be super helpful. thanks for sharing your thoughts/experience in this video! #Subscribed
Such a well spoken video. Keep up the great work 👍
Excellent video. Enlightening. Thank you.
Love this entire breakdown. Very helpful for someone like myself looking to teach young pitchers.
Thank you, this was very helpful
Super helpful video. Thanks for this. Going to keep thinking about the figure-8 and tennis serve cues.

I wish I could super like this video… holy smokes. Great explanation
Ben, this is pretty brilliant arm action philosophy.
this is fantastic.
Been lookin and trying to find ways to cue my arm for a coupke years now and I came across this video and pain is gone and velo is up

This is some good stuff
tennis racket cue is goated

So do you hold the 90degree angle all the way till your arm is up?
한국에서 가르치는 유튜버 코치보다 훨씬 체계적이고 쉽게 설명하네 걔들은 무슨 뭐만하면 코킹코킹 ㅋㅋ good :)
이분은 코킹이 뭔지 풀어서 얘기해주심 ㅋㅋ
like chapman, you have your elbow below your shoulder when arm is cocked... is there such thing as having your elbow too low or is that not possible?
