Setting the Stage for Success

Your front knee determines whether your motion is reactive or proactive before the ball ever leaves your hand.

The position of your front knee at the start of your delivery plays a critical role in balance, power, and command.

Your front knee determines whether your motion is reactive or proactive before the ball ever leaves your hand.

The Reactive Approach: Front Knee Behind the Front Hip

When your front knee starts behind the front hip, your delivery becomes reactive.

Your body is constantly trying to catch up to your weight, your timing becomes inconsistent, your release points vary, and your pitch location becomes unpredictable

Your balance comes from your arm, and when your arm is forced to stabilize your body, your command suffers.

The Proactive Approach: Front Knee Ahead of the Front Hip

Starting with your front knee slightly ahead of your front hip creates a proactive, controlled delivery that moves toward the target.

Your position centers your weight, establishes a stable base, and allows the body to lead the motion

With proper alignment, your kinetic chain works efficiently, with your energy flowing smoothly from the legs and hips through the core into the arm, and your arm simply delivers the ball..

Our Guarantee

You’re in control of your motion, not reacting to it.

We’re so confident in this approach that we offer a simple full three months to get your motion ironed out.
