Hello, I just wanted to comment and say that I appreciate these videos a lot. I emailed you a while back about lessons and it’s always hard finding time. These videos have been helping a lot so I can prepare for the season. The wrist snapping drills have been helping me improve a lot, due to the fact that’s where i’ve been struggling the most in my windup. Anyways keep up the good work!

I’m so happy to hear that they’re helping! Don’t hesitate to ask questions along the way if something doesn’t make sense or doesn’t seem to be working right :)

Hello. Thank you for these videos. Very informative. Found this while looking for the proper way to snap the wrist, as this is the area where I think my two daughters (ages 11 and 13) will benefit more from, and could improve the speed and movement of their pitches. I have two questions though. First, I see that after wrist snap in a fast ball, the palm of the hand faces down, like if the pitch had been a change up. Is this a sign that the wrist snap/follow through has been done correctly, and therefore not doing so should be a cause for concern? Second, when the elbow comes down and pivots around the hip, it seems the counterclockwise movement of the whole arm continues. At this point, is the snap mainly of the wrist, or is it a combination of both the wrist and the forearm, meaning the angle between the forearm and the upper arm decreases rapidly? Again, thank you for this simple yet good instruction video. I particularly like the sound of a proper snap hitting the glove.

Thanks for these questions Marco! I think my more recent videos (I will paste links below) may be very helpful, but also see my thoughts below: 1. The palm facing down after the snap indicates your wrist is loose and relaxed. Not doing so wouldn’t necessarily be cause for concern so much as a less efficient delivery/less power 2. The arm shouldn’t continue moving along the clock. Mine may have been doing so because this release was pretty new to me at the time of posting. Ideally the follow through should be low and straight out towards your catcher. If you watch my more recent videos you’ll see more of the follow through we’re looking for. The angle of the elbow should not decrease after release :) I hope this was helpful… if you want a more in-depth answer or have other questions pop up, please email me at courtney@plusultrapitching.com. I’d be happy to help in any way!

How long do we practice before we move to the next drill. I’m trying to teach my 7u

@plusultrapitching 27 дней назад

Good question… once you see your pitcher do it well for at least 5 pitches in a row… do at least another 5-10 to get the reps in! Or you can set a certain amount of time for each drill (5 minutes for drill one, 5 minutes for drill 2, etc.) both approaches are helpful!

@ricojones9579 27 дней назад

@@plusultrapitching okay thank you.

@antoniochavers5028 Год назад

How many reps of each should be done?

@plusultrapitching Год назад

Good question! It depends, but in general if you’re just doing these drills go for 10-15 minutes of good quality reps. If you’re warming up for a lesson/practice/game, 10-20 reps. I hope this helped! Plus Ultra! 🥎

how come the ball is going down like that ? most videos i see have it going straight?

@plusultrapitching 11 месяцев назад

Hi Erica, for context this video was shot in 30 degree temperatures (hence the snow in the background for the entirety of the video) and 0 minutes of warm-up. I recommend watching our other videos if you want to see straighter pitches (sunshine and shorts are a good indication that I can actually feel my fingers)! Thanks for the comment and plus ultra!!
