Baseball Tips & Tricks : How to Throw a Slurve

[GLazz85]

when my slider is on its nasty but when it hangs it goes pretty far....does the slurve have a similiar affect?

[87takewarning89]

When I throw a slurve I grip it in a similar way, but I hold it like a 2Seam or 3Seam fastball with the pressure off the index finger. I get a heck of a lot more movement than on this guy, and it usually looks more like a hybrid between a changeup and a curve. If you throw it right it should look like a slow curve coming towards the batter, then drop out of the zone right before the plate while the batter is mid swing. I would usually use it as my "strikeout" pitch.

[brianfighter]

dude every throw look like same when u throw it

[meltonclassics]

I hope I can still throw that well when I am this guys age.

[HalloweenAndCostumes]

Interesting. I was taught this as a kid, but had no idea it was called a slurve.

[xScopedAndShot]

I only came to this video to be the 91,000th viewer. expervillage SUCKS

[cflan98]

he got all dressed up to throw one pitch

[master72501]

thats the same way they said to throw a 12-6

[WidowMakerOU812]

@master72501 an easy way to throw the 12-6 (for me its easy) just hold it like you would normally hold a curveball and grip it with the first knuckle of your thumb, and flick your wrist hard. Its kinda hard at first but it gets eaiser pretty quick

[MrPierce123456789]

all of the pitches look the same

[EYEJAYTEE]

all the pitches are the same and they all just look like an old guys pitch who cant reach the plate dont watch this crap

[HomerSETH9]

[jollaCP]

@HomerSETH9 lol

[textheguitarist]

Which one is your longest finger?

[ben5able]

Guy throws like a vagina

[homeygeorge101]

[IccyTheOne]

WHOA !!!! A Slurve is a combination of curveball and a slider!!! NNNOOOOO!!!

[RBAJACKASS]

is this guy mentall thats not a slurve it breaks the wrong way

[The1olemissfan]

look at em rocken them oakleys

[sk8ordie1998624]

Hey dumbass, thats actually a 12-6 Curveball? I'd get your facts right before you make a video.

[ESPsandEmgs]

@sk8ordie1998624

Hey Dumbass, a 12-6 curve doesn't break away watch 1:13 again and you will see it break away...if you still can't see it just watch the catchers glove move over 9 inches. 12-6 curveball? You're an idiot!

[oftamannen]

Dont use fast sun glasses.

[sublimeplusmmouse]

his pitches have no movement whatsoever. i have a pretty nasty slurve when im throwing well. i buckle so many kids

[Hackedjamin7]

This guys a jackass.

[77toughcanon1]

@Hackedjamin7 you a jackass

[rmroz91]

i really think he just puts in a loop of 1 pitch in all his videos they all look the same...

and the slurve has more to do with arm action and arm slot more than it does grip...

[bigchickenfu]

i like to throw at the opposing players family members in the parking lot after gettin all boozed up

[YoUkNoWiTzFuNnYmom]

how do they have over 100,000 vids lolz

[77toughcanon1]

@YoUkNoWiTzFuNnYmom why do you have 2 vids

[monstersquad123]

learning slurves is ez learn a slider and curve first but the slurve is all in your wrist trust me my slurves are so nasty it breaks from where the batter is and breaks down the pipe

[xxxMrSuspendedxxx]

@monstersquad123 You're release point is farther out front is the big thing I think. You're still pulling-the-curtain, whereas you flick more with a curve back by your ear. And a slider is held tighter and pounded at almost full fastball extension.

[monstersquad123]

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx yeah my slurves are better, but i relsease close so ill try to release further, thanks

[xxxMrSuspendedxxx]

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Yeah you gotta really twist it instead of the flipping gyro of the softer curve. It's a better pitch than slider, 'cause a lot of young guy's sliders haven't broke yet and get tagged in the hitting zone. Also you can pull the tendons right off your elbow with the slider if you arm's not ready for it, or if you overextend the release point.

[IccyTheOne]

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Why are you replying yourself ?

[xxxMrSuspendedxxx]

@IccyTheOne LOL, because nobody else does, except you. I wish we were both gay, lol. jk

[videomaker7877]

All his pitches look the same they are both low and out side for every pitch he does is pretty stupid

[abanda3d]

lmao in all the vidoes all his pitches look THE SAME

[buzzoman111]

when you don't know much about baseball a lot of pitches will look the same

[derekj54]

its a bad angle and i wish they would slow mo his actual release but its handy to see someone do it than just reading about it

[therbert11]

only to the untrained eye

[TylerL9347]

@abanda3d they dont look the same once standing there at the plate batting...

[bjensen111]

[ME16510]

[mikey7best]

[ME16510]

[canttouchmyfastball]

[BLS335533]

[deezo25]

[1masternick]

[omgvids144]

I use the slurve just because i cant get my wrist around on a curve and i dont like to thow my slider that fast. But its really effective, its a good pitch.

[LILBLKNINGA]

this is my strick out pitch mine sits at ur face and right over the plate then it drops at your knees. lol every time sometime i confuse my own cather i call it a slow roller

[poopmunky22]

thats exactly how i throw my curve ball and it works pretty well

[riverrats2O]

Thats similar to how i throw my slider....

[Drag0n257]

it shoudnt be with a slider you pull your wrist inside and put press on your middle finger...similar but the way you throw it is way different

[tannererwine]
