Stop grinding and start shining!

Your inner ear determines your location

Your inner ear is responsible for your balance. Your movements send signals to your inner ear. Your inner ear then tells your body what it needs to do to keep you in balance.

You continue to grind when, as you move down the mound, your inner ear uses your throwing arm to balance your body.

You stop grinding when, coming into your foot plant, your inner ear keeps your throwing arm free to respond to your lower body activity.

What is your “inner ear” measuring?

Anytime your nose stays over your bellybutton your inner ear won’t use your throwing arm for balance.

You stop grinding when you come into your foot plant with your nose over your bellybutton. From this position, your inner ear frees your throwing arm to respond to your lower body. At foot plant, to get your body back in balance, your inner ear dictates you make a throwing action where your ball will automatically travel directly into your intended target.

You continue to grind when you come into your foot plant with an upper body tilt. When this happens, at foot plant, your inner ear uses your legs to bring your upper body back to vertical. With a vertical core, your body is in balance. Once in balance, your inner ear frees your throwing arm to complete your motion and, consequently, your throwing action becomes an unsupported, independent action.

The right adjustment at the right time

How and when you adjust your movements changes the signals you send to your inner ear.

You continue to grind when, as you move into your foot plant, your new movements fail to bring your nose over your bellybutton, but there can be some good news. When your adjustments bring your nose/bellybutton closer to vertical into your foot plant, your inner ear won’t use your throwing arm as much for balance and your target area will shrink.

You stop grinding when, coming into your foot plant, your change brings your nose over your bellybutton. Do this and you spontaneously reduce your target area to the size of your receiver’s glove.
