Momentum Pitching...How To Instantly Boost Velocity By Moving Faster Into A Long Stride

http://www.pitching.com
Momentum Pitching was developed in 2007 by Dick Mills and Dr. Brent Rushall. It is a new way for all pitchers to increase velocity.

By taking a step back instead of to the side and pushing into the pivot, the pitcher automatically will increase his momentum because his body will have to move a longer distance toward the plate while moving faster. In Momentum Pitching the pitcher pushes twice. He pushes after he steps back so he forcefully moves into the pivot and he pushes again once he initiates back leg drive.

Thus that added energy from the body stretching out fast into a stride 100% of the pitcher's height or more...more elastic energy is created which is the source of velocity for all pitchers.

Sport science research has proven that arm strength has little to do with improving velocity. Velocity is all about momentum, speed of movement going from the back leg to the front leg and a long stride...plus getting the arm involved as late as possible.

Sports science research has also proven that the faster an athlete moves the less chance of mechanical error...which is completely opposite to what most coaches believe and teach. Thus why so many pitchers today do not maximize their velocity because they are moving their bodies much too slowly and robotically.

What has been learned since January of 2007, when Momentum Pitching was developed is that it is much easier to teach and learn than conventional pitching where tempo is slow and every pitcher is told to reach a balance point. There is no balance point to get to. All a balance point does is slow the pitcher's forward momentum. Balance is easily corrected by all athletes by simply making them aware they are off balance.

If pitchers want to throw fast...they must move fast like Giants's Tim Lincecum...who has the fastest tempo of any starting pitcher in the big leagues and the longest stride to body height ratio.

In order to maximize momentum and velocity pitchers should move as fast and explosively as possible down the mound and obviously under control. Balance is simply the ability to stay upright and not fall to one side or the other. The body knows how to stay balanced...if not you fall down.

This can effect your control

@RDoctorD u dont go out of the windup when a guys on base...just saying

@tennisbutts if you are in the wind up position whats the difference? read ted williams the science of hitting and how many times he uses the word pendulum ?

Momentum creates velocity, but impulse creates momentum. Impulse = change in momentum = (force)(time). The further distance the body moves, the longer it will be applying force, which leads to more impulse.

I like how the description of this video makes it seem like Dick Mills discovered momentum.

lame.

A lost art indeed in today's youth..the step back or rocker move builds great momentum and stretch to the plates..its like having the advantage of a crow hop from 60 feet.good vid Dick.

Bad form... For most reasons explained below... But also long delivery time would make this easy to steal on

[ThumperOne]

i bet this pitcher has control problems pitching like this... omg...

[staples216]

If while batting force=mass(acceleration) which is more important?
