Anytime your weight shifts, your mind quickly picks up gravity’s threat to your stability and makes the necessary adjustments proven to bring your weight back to center.

“Hoping” you do well

In your current pitching motion, 2 weight shifts invite gravity to control your movements.

1. With your current foot placements, gravity ends your front leg lift with your weight centered over your back foot.

(With your weight centered over your back foot, gravity forces you to shift your weight toward your target.)

2.When you shift your weight toward your target, gravity uses your throwing arm to stabilize your foot plant.

A balanced foot plant means there’s no physical reason for your throwing arm to deliver the ball into your target. That said, your throwing action becomes a separate movement and you can only “hope” the ball goes where you want?

“Expecting” to do well

The simple front leg lift presented on the ProPitchingInstitute.com web site whips your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

When you expect to deliver every pitch into your intended target, gravity uses your throwing arm action to get your body back in balance.

1.  Your foot placements neutralize any weight shifts into your front leg lift.

2. From the top of your front leg lift, you use a throwing action to trigger a lower body rotation.

3. Your lower body rotation forces a foot plant that gives gravity the same message on every pitch … use your throwing arm action to get your body back in balance.

Gravity stabilizes your body by forcing your throwing arm action to travel through the same tiny release window on every pitch.
