    Oklahoma is killing me in the 4th inning

    The rain should be no excuse for OU. When their coach stated that they where ready to play even in the snow. Whats a little rain. OU will be back next yr. The first baseman for OU will be a beast for the next 3 yrs.

    IR--one more time

    I would love to hear a little more about "turning corners" and whip. Where are those corners? Would having a arm circle that is more like a circle (locked elbow or slightly bent elbow) not " turning the corners". This maybe what DD could be missing. I know video is best. Will work on that.

    Using string throwing dropball ?

    I have read on here using a string during a dropball drill. My question is how far from the plate do you put the string. I know the higher the string is the sharper the break must be. What is the starting height of the string when starting out 2ft, 3ft?
