I did'nt see anything after the third pitch cause all I could think about was boy I sure hope thats plexiglass cause no one knows where a knuckle ball is goin :)
Did you ever think he uses a ball with color so that assholes like you know the balls not spinning? You got a better knuckleball? Post a video or shut the fuck up
I'm a knuckball thrower and would appreciate any helpful advice from fellow knuckleball throwers. I hear a lot of suggestions like use your fingernails to create a dead spin, but I actually use my knuckles and have more control, but if I use my finger tips, I have less control but more movement. Is there any way I can get more movement by useing my knuckles instead of my finger tips? or should I switch? They say the Knuckleball is a gimmick, but tell that to Phil Niekro.
People will tell you it's a gimmick but don't worry just shrug it off. Now if you're really serious about it just keep experimenting, there's really no other way to keep it working or to get it working. Personally I could never figure out the knuckle technique, I'm a fingertip guy, I personally think maybe the fingertips would be the right thing for you, I don't think you can generate enough velocity to make it move off your knuckles. Go with the movement and work on your mechanics. good luck
I like to throw it, so nasty even MLB catchers doesn't appreciate that! What ever peopel may say, if you can throw an almost perfect Knuckler over 90% of the time, you got a MLB ticket.
The idea is to feel how it feels when it works. Keep in your head that feeling and it'll go out like it should.
I grip like the guy on ViewDo. I push it out and feel my wrist kind of shaking and it sort of come out of my hands. Keep your feeling in mind and work hard.
use your finger tips in a game a few times because most people don't have a lot of control over their knuckle-ball thats why you see knuckle ballers getting a lot of wild pitches so just try it with both and which ever gets the most outs use.
I'd see you with knuckleballs. We maybe don't figure all the movement, but sometimes, it just kicks a bit just before he catches.
Even MLB catchers hate to catch this pitch since it's simply unhuman to do. Wakefield has HIS catcher and no other would do this job since he needs someone used to.
Cut him some slack. I've caught a knuckleballer. It is the oddest thing in the world watching it fly. The problem is that it's unpredictable. It could move right for a couple feet, left for a few, right for a foot, left again, down! It's crazy.
i think this pitch is fucking amazing and you throw it great... but just throwing this out there... when the ball hit the ground it sounded like rubber?:s
this is a sick knuckler and you can actually see movement and no rotation on the ball unlike other knuckleball videos on youtube. The knuckleball is such a fascinating pitch and i am obsessed with trying to throw it. I am only like 12 so i dont have much arm strength, but my knuckleball has like no rotation and hopefully it will work when i can throw it faster. Great job on the video, and how fast do you think the knuckler has to go to be somewhat like yours?
Varitek doesn't catch Wake. Varitek just can't catch the knuck, notice most k-ballers have a catcher for themselves because not everyone can catch a knuck.
the one at :42 was his best. Well, they were all good. And that looked like a real ball just one thats not just plain white. Could be colored? just like the gold balls in the HR derby.
does anyone realize the knuckleball is the hardest pitch to catch? it can end up anywhere...why do you think Tim Wakefield has a catcher who only catches him...with the Red Sox regular catcher his ERA was 9.00+ so he has a catcher who specializes in catching knucks...
man don't listen to these jerks half of em' dont know jack about baseball. your doin a fine job catching they don't realize how rare it is to have a decent knuckle ball catcher
Knuckleball pitchers often have their own catchers (ie. Mirrabelli for Wakefield) because their 'knucks are so nasty to try to catch. I've seen Mirrabelli miss-catch 4 or 5 Wakefield pitches in a single inning.
They are WAY hard to catch. My friend is an excellent catcher, but he can't catch my knuckle ball that well because you can't tell where, when, or how it will break. That's why Doug Mirrabelli is EXTREMELY valuable to the Red Sox and Tim Wakefield.
Hey man, how do you film these? Like how do you set up the camera? And what type of camera do you film it with? Cause I'd like t odo the same thing......Nice knuckler though.
Whoever thinks the catcher sucks obviously hasent ever caught a good knuckle
