Watch on YouTubeWhat to watch for
Follow the delivery
Watch the release and the ball’s flight as parts of the same sequence.
Think beyond turn
Consider accuracy and the batter’s response as well as the amount of spin.
How to review it in a session
Ask your coach which grip and release details to focus on. Record a target before a coached spell, then compare the outcome with your intention. Keep one clear learning point for the next session.
Take these questions to the nets.
- What line and length am I trying to repeat?
- What can I see about my release from a front-on video?
- How should I respond when a batter attacks?
