Baseball Grip Ball
People who pitch in baseball only: How do i move my arm to throw a breaking ball?
My friend told me that i need to turn my hand like im turning a door knob. Problem is that i hardly see any break. I know I’m not suppose to be throwing curveballs or anything like that yet, but i have thrown a Knuckle Curve before in the past and no problems with my arm. I’m throwing it slowly so I don’t screw up my arm.
So how do i throw a breaking ball? I got the grip, i just need to know how to throw it and control it
its sort of hard to explain without showing…you want to have your pointer and middle finger on top of the ball at all times and pull straight down to get as much spin as possible on the ball. the more times you get the ball to spin, the more its gonna break. just think about pulling straight down on the ball and snapping your wrist straight down when releasing the ball. try watching this video too, its the best i could find for what your looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuyBRwd1zIQ
hope i helped.
