I vote for the rose colored glasses also. I grin just thinking about it.

I/R in the Classroom - Board Member
Drive Mechanics - Javasource

IMO - These are the Holy Grail of pitching instruction.

Honorable mention to Basic arm-body Sync - Sluggers and Front Side Resistance - Rick Pauly.

I second these nominations. These are Pitching gold!

I third them...

If this board only had those two threads it would still be the most valuable fast pitch resource on the web. That and the rose colored glasses.

Hitting

• Rose olored Glasses and The Elephant in the Room
• Early bat speed
• Turn the barrel???
• What does the corner mean to you
• Forward by coil ...

Pitching

• I/R in the Classroom
• Drive Mechanics
• Creating Correct Core Torque

These were and still are the best hitting & pitching threads that have helped both DD and I the most.I go back and reread these often and always seem to find something new everytime I revisit them.

If we are talking hall of fame threads, número uno in my book http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-pitching/1348-internal-rotation.html. Post #4. Absolutely rich with insight and new terms: internal rotation, show it and throw it, and palm to the sky concepts. It also has a detailed description and drill to really understand how the rotation of the lower arm is the fastest part of the body. If you actually try Boardmember's drill where you hold your arm straight out and rotate the palm up and palm down several times quickly and see your hand blur. Wow, there is no way an instructor could teach hello elbow mechanics with a straight face after performing that demonstration.

Why is nobody mentioning all the thread "gold" that Hal Skinner contributed?? Always entertaining reading.

Isn't it about time to let Hal out of the SHU? For dang sakes, put Pete Rose in the HOF and bring Hal back to DFP. Bring. Back. Hal. BRIng. BAck. HAL! BRING BACK HAL!!!..............

Come'on Boardmember, You start chanting it as well..... "Bring back Hal.... Bring back Hal."

Ever seen the movie Unbreakable? Boardmember (the Bruce Willis character) and Hal (the Samuel Jackson character).

OMG! Just read maybe half of Rose Colored Glasses. That was surreal. Kind of like tackling the novel "Infinite Jest."

I made a pot of coffee and got through about half of the pot and half the post. I didn't get far reading it when it first got started as I got tired of the fighting...I should have kept reading.
