    I love the emphasis on the glove arm to guide the direction of the ball. I’ve always thought of it as a way to get some leverage too. I often see people throw and drop their glove not using it to point it as leverage. This is an excellent video!

    Hooray! Someone teaching the proper way to throw-Sadly, I estimate 90% of softball players, at all levels, throw incorrectly. In the mid-90’s I attended a coaching clinic by California Angels manager Rene Lachemann lamenting that a huge percentage of of Major League Baseball players didn’t know how to throw a baseball when they arrived at the professional level. So he taught us, using rookie Tim Salmon as his demonstrator.

    Thank you so much for this. I am 55 and still can not throw a ball properly. I didn’t start playing until 6th grade. In 7th and 8th grade made All stars. But my confidence always lacked as i was always told i was not a good at throwing. And i do not remember anyone ever taking the time to coach me. I did not play in high school. Then just adult women’s teams after that. So here i am at 55, joining a women’s team after not playing for about 18 years. And that voice is still in my head telling me i cant throw and I haven’t not been able to. I am trying to relearn and stop that voice in my head.

  • @giannabanana6347
    @giannabanana6347 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I saw that you covered the tuck method of the glove hand, (where you tuck the glove into your chest as you throw) but I was wondering if you could cover the flying technique, (where the glove arm flys behind your back as you throw) or if anybody knows if that is a bad habit or makes a throw less accurate or anything like that, that would be helpful to know as well.

  • @danocatster
    @danocatster 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Absolutely should not be pointing hand rearward, that is, should not be pronating before arm goes forward. Pronation should be part of the release. Forearm should just be in a comfortable neutral position when ball is up.

    • @msmatthe88
      @msmatthe88 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The wrist should be neutral with the ball facing away from your body. Your neutral position would be about 135 degrees from your face. Im hoping as you say the pronation to reach and 180 degrees is just an exaggeration to prevent supination (turning thumb toward back of hand).
