throw overhand
I gave the best advice here, period
Agree but I would get rid of the knuckle and add a change up which I find effective against power hittersKnuckle, slider, screwball then sinker. In that order. Lights out.
Find that one guy on your team who thinks he's Andy Purcell. Turn him loose.Agree but I would get rid of the knuckle and add a change up which I find effective against power hitters
I beg to differ. No better pitch than the knuckleball, in slow pitch.Agree but I would get rid of the knuckle and add a change up which I find effective against power hitters
Marl must have a knuckleball like mine. At least I have the finger breaking slide piece to fall back onI beg to differ. No better pitch than the knuckleball, in slow pitch.
if your fastball is 11-12mph and you have an effecive change at 7-8 mph you can really throw them off. especially if you're throwing through the same window.
In another video I saw, Purcell said to learn a knuckle ball and throw it exclusively. He did say it was better for USSSA than ASA because it usually moves more on flatter pitches.
i beg to differ.. he gets away with flatter and faster than most.. but i can tell you... you can throw a lot flatter in a local yokel than in conference. you have to put it on a tee thereIf I got the same arc and speed rules as andy does every weekend I'd be a lot more effective too
His knuckle ball is called for excessive speed in nearly every other non conference event going in in utrip across america every weekend, but in the conference you get that pitch
That's like a 27%-42% difference between fastball and change-up, pretty sure if anybody could pull that off they'd already be in the Show.
Then go full-Purcell and throw everything too flat and scream at any umpire that calls your pitches flat.
I thought he was playing softball? Bro, they're called 'runs' in diamond sports.
so, what level are you playing and what upper level are you talking about here?
Recently played a team that was slumming in the lower division. Is there anything I can do pitching wise to get even a slight advantage? We will be playing them again at some point, and I expect to get shelled again, but I want to get....slightly less shelled.
Lol. Yep. It's slow pitch. Your team needs to hit, and you need to throw strikes. That's it.Every pitcher on here has gotten shelled more times than we care to admit. Yours truly at the top of the list. We have a few teams like that in our division. It sucks. Just chalk it up as a learning experience and make the most of it. Mix it up, be safe and try to talk someone else into pitching.
Technically a field goal. It’s only during a power play they call it a touchdown and you get 2 free throws.No idea what you're talking about. When you touch home plate, that's a touch down. Get it right.
Semantics, spoken like a true *******
I find myself throwing knuckles exclusively when I can't find the zone with other pitches (very often) , it does mess with inexperienced player alot, ink try to get corners and different heights to the experiencedI beg to differ. No better pitch than the knuckleball, in slow pitch.
I stole one of your pitches. I don't even think you really think about it, so I can teach it back to you if you'd like.Mix heights, pitch to your defense, field your position.
Mix the depth of where it lands too.
I used to love those knucklerballs and curve balls.I beg to differ. No better pitch than the knuckleball, in slow pitch.
