Good for you for finally gaining a better understanding if internal rotation and adduction in the pitching delivery. The fact that you are finally embracing the reality of palm up and I/R vs. the fantasy of palm down and push the ball, and realizing after all these years how high level pitchers actually throw a softball shows you are adapting. This is very good for the softball pitching community. HOWEVER......Forearm Fire is a joke. Pitchers do NOT snap the elbow straight from 9:00 to deliver ball my dear. Slight elbow bend is maintained through delivery during the internal rotation/adduction/pronation of the high level pitch.
Fastpitchnut, you are wrong that you maintain elbow bend through the entire pitch. Go watch Jenny Pinch pitch in slow motion. You may learn a thing or two.
Fastpitchnut M sure you understand a lot of pitching . however, I see many high level pitchers using a palm loaded- out position as they pass from 12 to 9 and from 9 downward for another 10 to 45 degrees, taking them right into snap zone sometimes. Also, last time I observed Rita she emphasized the palm out not palm down, as you think. It did appear that she might have pitched palm down at a previous time, however. I don't teach arm fire myself, as I don't see the point in drilling in a fastball with one style of snap but having to burn in dramatically different style s for movement pitches. I'd be interested in your opinions concerning this area of pitching. ..fowlerb44@gmail.com
@@falcon1534 depends on the pitcher . Body type , how they feel comfortable ect. Bill Hillhouse throws his way and he thinks he is correct . Gerald Muizlaar the us team pitching coach throws a different way (which I prefer and works for me ). No motion is right or wrong . I am sick of people having these narrow minded opinions. Branch out see what works ect . The only one I don't agree with myself is the squaring up of one's hips to the plates or opening up.
Dang, this an unbelievably great resource video! Thank you!
This looks like great stuff for muscle memory!
Thank you for showing that forearm fire is not the only way to create arm whip.
this is forearm fire lol
@@itsjess2859 I'm referring to pitching sideways junk.
I think these are great drills and I'm going to buy a wrist snapper :) Thanks!

@@MeLoNHeAd00 there’s definitely room for style but some things are necessary for all pitchers
The lady talking is annoying
Kyle Vance i agree

I just lost 4 minutes of my life..
And gained 4 minutes of great softball pitching knowledge....
