Building the House: Mechanics and Fundamentals of Pitching

This is the first of the House of Pitching series entitled, “Building the House, The Mechanics and Fundamentals of Pitching.” A step-by-step progression of the pitching motion from where to place your feet on the mound to falling into the fielder’s position once the ball is released. “Building the House” addresses the importance of leg drive, examines the different styles of pitching, explains the mandatory mechanics within each style, and provides insight into the pitching motion from a pitcher’s point of view. Also included are sections covering the peel drop and troubleshooting suggestions for common mechanical problems. Bill Hillhouse will help you select the correct drills that simulate the entire pitching motion and provides several examples of such drills. Many analyzation aids are included like split screen, slow motion video at every angle, drawings, 3D animation, and keypoints to help illustrate the fundamental concepts of pitching.

2009 ASA Rules Approves Gorilla Gold

for Softball Pitchers

 

Resin-based grip enhancer can be kept in pocket

Lewiston, ID (March 15, 2009) –The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) 2009 Rule Book has included Gorilla Gold, the world’s leading producer and marketer of resin-tackified grip towels, as the only approved drying agent allowed in a pitcher’s pocket.

The new ruling aligns the ASA with NCAA Softball, which has allowed pitchers to use Gorilla Gold for the past four years.

The new ASA ruling states: “Rule 6 Section 6 A Fast Pitch: an Approved manufactured drying agent that is included on the list published by the ASA, may be used by the pitcher. The Resin must be left on the ground and the approved drying agent in the pitcher’s pocket. Effect: If any other substance is found in the pitcher’s pocket the pitcher shall be ejected.”

“Some drying agents are resin and need to submitted to ASA for approval before they can be used by the pitcher. Currently only Gorilla Gold is approved.”

Used by Bill to help pitchers' ensure they are getting the correct spin on the ball. This training aid provides instant feedback.

   The Power-Push is designed to promote a powerful,mechanically correct forward push away from the rubber.The fact that it can also correct bad and illegal mechanics is double the benefits.We have designed the channel of the Power-Push to be long enough to promote a forward push away from the rubber,yet short enough to allow the pitcher to open her hips in the middle of her stride,not on the pitching rubber.Obviously we want the pitcher to open up,just not on the rubber.We promote opening up at the highest point in the pitch(Apex)which is more in the middle of the stride,not at the start,or on the rubber.The channel provides instant feedback to the pitcher,letting her know if she does or doesn't push straight down the powerline.By providing a visual path for her push foot,she will better understand what is expected of her.All of this in a simple,no break polypropylene,lightweight product for only $49.99.That's less than the cost of one pitching lesson! Get your pitcher started in the right  direction with The Power-Push!!!!
