    I saw what you are referring to but when I tried it myself (IR) there is no decerlation unless I physically try stopping my arm...I don't see how IR alone cause the arm to decelerate to almost a stop.

    Throwing BP overhand

    I was wondering what everyone thinks about throwing BP to DD overhand as opposed to underhand. Is it good, bad, or indifferent?

    Overall strength for Pitching - Does it help with speed?

    STRIKE3...if you Google Eric Cressey's blog, he has some great information on pitching (mainly baseball but a lot of good stuff on shoulder health, etc. that's relevant to softball). Also, Nancy Newell has some really good softball information on her blog in regards to strength training.

    Recording Daughter's Pitching Instruction

    I have the opportunity to record my daughters next hour long pitching session with her coach. What are your preferred angle(s) of recording for examining the footage later? Would you set up the camera in one specific spot or move it to various angles throughout the session? Thanks.
