Physical Laws Govern Command!

By properly managing the gravitational forces impacting your movements, it’s very possible to teach you how to get your hip rotation to whip your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

Swinging Weight Scenario 
What happens when you swing a weight on a string? Put a weight on the end of string, hold the string in your hands and move your hand in a circle. 
The weight makes a circular movement around your hand that’s determined by your hand angle. When you goal is to bring the weight through the same spot on every swing, your challenge becomes finding and maintaining the correct hand angle. 

Bull Whip Scenario 
What happens when you crack of bull whip? You grip the bull whip handle, snap your hand down and up and your hand movement travels down the whip to create a loud snap. 
When your hand snap is at the same angle, the bull whip crack occurs in the same spot. 

Producing Command 
Getting your hand to snap the bull whip handle at the same angle is much easier than maintaining the same hand angle as you swing a weight on a string around your hand. 
  • Bull Whip Scenario - By properly managing the gravitational forces impacting your movements, it’s very possible to teach you how to get your hip rotation to whip your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch. 
  • Swinging Weight Scenario - When you dismiss or ignore these gravitational forces, your arms rotate around your head and, consequently, your release window varies from one pitch to the next.  
Conclusively, whipping your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch is a teachable skill.

YOUR STARTING POSITION PREDICTS COMMAND!

When you can’t help but make a throwing action, your throwing arm is responding to your lower body activity and your throwing hand is extremely likely to come through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

Do you know where your next pitch will end up? 
Let’s test your front leg lift. Hold your position at the top of your front leg lift, separate your hands and slowly bring your glove side elbow behind your body. 
  • Sustainable Command - When you can’t help but make a throwing action, your throwing arm is responding to your lower body activity and your throwing hand is extremely likely to come through the same tiny release window on every pitch. 
  • Unsustainable Command - When you finish your glove side elbow movement and you’re still in your starting position, you created a position where it’s physical impossible to know with any certainty where any one pitch ends up. 

Why does this happen? 
Your natural drive to keep your body in balance produces these responses.  
  • Sustainable Command – Your front leg lift creates a situation like balancing on a balance beam. Any movement and your body does what it has to do to keep you on top of the beam. Consequently, your glove side elbow slowly moving behind your body causes you to take a step (your stride) and, to get you back in balance, bring your back arm forward and across your body (your throwing action).  
  • - Since your body is hardwired to react to the same situations in the same way, your throwing hand moves through the same tiny release window on every pitch. 
  • Unsustainable Command - You end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot. Your slow glove side elbow movement isn’t enough to move your weight off your back foot. Consequently, with your weight over your back foot, to move down the mound, you’re forced to stride. When you stride, your body does what it has to get you back in balance. Your body does this by completing your stride and using your leg to bring your weight back to center. 
  • - With your body in balance, your throwing action becomes a separate and unsupported action, your release window varies from one pitch to the next and you never know where any one pitch ends up. 

What’s the solution? 
The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you how to end your front leg lift where a slow glove side elbow movement forces you to make a productive throwing action. No matter where you live, we skillfully use free Internet tools to make you a better pitcher than you ever dreamed possible.

ACTION-REACTION MANAGEMENT PRODUCES COMMAND

Discover action-reaction pairings that bring your throwing hand through the same productive release window on every pitch.
In nature, actions and reactions come in Pairings. Pitching is simply finding a way to manage your action-reaction pairings to bring your throwing hand through the same productive release window on every pitch.

Action-Reaction pairings are easy to miss.

Everything you see within your motion is both an action and a reaction. Trying to change your action-reaction pairings without addressing your foot placements turns into a complete waste of time.

Disruptive Action-Reaction Pairings

Let’s look at how your action-reaction pairings fail to bring your throwing hand through the same productive release window on every pitch.
  • Your foot placements (action) force you to end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot (reaction).
  • By ending your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot (action), to move down the mound, you shift your weight toward your target (reaction).
  • You shift your weight toward your target (action) and gravity uses your throwing arm to balance your stride (reaction).
  • You continue to use your throwing arm for balance (action) until your front foot gets back on the ground and your legs rebalance your weight between your knees (reaction).
  • With both feet on the ground, your glove side shoulder moving back (action) powers your throwing arm moving forward (reaction).
  • With your upper body working by itself (action), your shoulders tilt within a given range (reaction).
  • Your shoulder tilt (action) means you never truly know with any certainty where any one pitch ends up (reaction).

Constructive Action-Reaction Pairings

Now, let’s look at the action-reaction pairings that bring your throwing hand through the same productive release window on every pitch.
  • Your foot placements (action) force you to end your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees (reaction).
  • With one foot on the ground and your weight centered between your knees, your glove side shoulder moving back (action) powers your back hip forward (reaction).
  • Your back hip coming forward (action) demands your front foot reconnects with the ground (reaction).
  • Your front foot reconnecting with the ground (action) causes your lower body to stop rotating (reaction).
  • Your foot plant stopping your lower body rotation (action) forces your lower body to whip your throwing arm into release (reaction).
  • Your throwing arm whip (action) brings your throwing hand through an easily repeated and extremely productive release window (reaction).

Here’s the good news.

The Pro Pitching Institute freely presents the foot placements that’ll bring your throwing hand through a very sustainable and extremely productive release window. No matter where you live, we skillfully use on-line communication tools to make you a better pitcher than you ever dreamed possible.

TRICK YOUR INNER EAR INTO PRODUCING COMMAND!


The throwing action your inner ear creates at foot plant brings your arm through the same tiny release window on every pitch and, at the same time, shows your opponent the same arm speed on every pitch.

Your Inner Ear

Your inner ear monitors your body’s horizontal and vertical alignment.

Anytime your inner ear perceives a forward movement or senses a gravitational imbalance that jeopardizes your safety, your inner ear automatically and instantaneously replaces your current movements with the actions that’ll bring you back in balance.

What you see isn’t what happens 

You see a Pitcher moving down the mound. You see the Pitcher’s arm move. You may think the Pitcher controls his arm movements, but his arm movements are actually his inner ear response to his body position as he begins his journey down the mound.

Now that you know the Pitcher’s arm actions are actually reactions, trying to duplicate a Pitcher’s arm movements as you move down the mound is a complete waste of your time.

Fooling your inner ear.

Your inner ear uses your arms to offset any front-to-back or back-to-front movements, but fails to recognize rotation as a threat to your safety. Consequently, when you rotate down the mound, your inner ear keeps your throwing arm free to response to your lower body.

In fact, when you rotate down the mound and land your foot plant, your inner ear senses your horizontal and vertical misalignments and, to get your back in balance, forces you to whip your back arm forward and across your body.

Your inner ear keeps you safe by forcing you to make a throwing action.  Your inner ear uses your throwing arm to regain both your horizontal and vertical orientations.

Spontaneous Command

Because your inner ear is hard-wired to respond to the same conditions in the same way, the throwing action your inner ear creates at foot plant brings your arm through the same tiny release window on every pitch and, at the same time, shows your opponent the same arm speed on every pitch.
By using your inner ear to produce your results, you experience sustainable Cy Young-like results every Team wants to have on the mound.

Here’s the good news.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you how to control your inner ear responses. No matter where you live, we skillfully use on-line communication tools to make you a better pitcher than you ever dreamed possible.
