Front Knee First

 

Command does not start on your fingers it starts in your lower body. Sequence builds command. Strength only masks flaws.

"Sequence Over Strength”

When your front knee doesn’t lead, your arm will, velocity drops, and stress rises.

In Sequence Over Strength, the motion is simple: The knee leads, the hip follows, and the arm delivers.

When your front knee stays in front of your front hip, energy transfers cleanly, the lower half drives the throw, the arm stops compensating, and velocity shows up without extra effort.

Miss this position, and you’re not throwing in sequence — you’re surviving the motion.

“Step and Throw” The Right Way

“Step and Throw” isn’t stepping and hoping; it’s a controlled forward movement with proprioceptive balance.

When the knee leads, the stride becomes natural. The foot plant isn’t forced, the upper body stays patient, and the arm delivers on time.

Nothing rushes. Nothing compensates.

The Knee Controls the Throw

The front knee in front of the front hip organizes your arm path, stabilizes your foot plant, and dictates when the ball is released.

Lose it, and the arm takes over. Hold it, and the body works in sequence.

Pitch Smart

Command does not start on your fingers it starts in your lower body.

Sequence builds command. Strength only masks flaws.

And we stand behind it: If we can’t help you get the ball to your target consistently by fixing your sequence, your instruction is free. No questions asked.Top of Form
