Not only are there a lot of theories as to how you should throw the baseball properly; most of the instructors out there have the most difficult time trying to share that knowledge that they do know to most age groups. They are not great teachers. There are also those instructors who clone each of their students. Should you teach each pitcher the same way? Absolutely not!

I love going to the golf course. You see golfer after golfer handing over cash to get their wired yellow bucket with their trusty golf balls. The crash of the balls as they fall into their own bucket with the typical two left over at the end that drop to the cement as you jump to catch them. Don’t you love the golf course!
