If you are throwing front toss and set up about 15 to 20 feet from the hitter behind a protective screen, which way do you prefer to front toss?
1) Standing up and sling shotting the pitch in?
2) Sitting on a bucket and under hand throwing pitches to the batter?
3) Sitting on a bucket and over hand throwing pitches to the batter?
My thoughts are:
#1 gives a more realistic release point, but for me I lack the velocity and ability to hit spots from this position. Nor can I fully windmill, so slingshot is all I can give.
#2 gives me much more control on hitting spots, but the velocity is worse and the release point is lower than #1.
#3 gives me the greatest control and highest velocity but the throwing motion itself is opposite what the girls see in a game situation.
Also, could someone get Howards opinion on this?
Thanks!
