  • The 2nd group of throws were executed with much better movement when one stops the hips, arm and shoulder and lets the arm dangle down to the hip area after release point the delivery stops short of traveling the full distance through the power area it is like when a base runner does not run through first base to a finish point 15 feet past the base his speed slows down a few percentage points the thrower must throw, drive hips, shoulder and arm through the release point.

  • The first three throws were executed with little or no momentum with the arm recoiling up at point of release, "TOUGH ON THE ARM" "OUCH" no follow through which if executed properly allows the arm and all other body parts negatively effected during the throwing movement to momentarily relax, the non following through of upper body and recoiling of the arm at release point eliminates a great amount of throwing velocity, throwing strength and maximum throwing distance.
