Low three quarters knuckleball in slo-mo

My brother got a cool new Sony HD camera so he wanted to test it out on some pitches and see what it could do. Unfortunately it baseball doesn't really come into focus until the last few feet. Hopefully he'll be able to figure it out and we can try again later. Thanks for stopping by!

@monkeyszzzz

I'm not an expert on pitching, it's just that I discovered a new grip that worked for me is all. Keep on experimenting and something will happen I'm sure!

@dremlasker changeup is the hardest pitch to master

The knuckleball has to dance, many kids on my squad think they have good knucklers cause the fact that the ball doesent spin..butttt, it supposed to dance, its an unpredictable pitch..just cause you basically throw an eephus that doesent spin doesent mean you have a good knuckleball....knuckleballs may just drop down one pitch, they may just go to the left the next one, or go to the right the next one, or anything in between.but yeah just cause you have no spin, doesent mean you throw it. Dance!

Knuckler is the toughest pitch to master. Most can throw one, the problem is throwing 50 in a row. Unlike a bad slider or curve one that rotates a couple of times is slow (very) and straight. The ball can rotate slightly best is clockwise or counter clockwise as the slight rotation causes the ones that dance. It is a slow pitch as the mechanics of throwing it are different. Niekro threw very slow 50's 60's. A 2d camera won't show it well if it works you will see it there is no doubt about it

the ball can't have no spin at all;

your pitch looks pretty good

@monkeyszzzz

try different fingers and grips eventually one will work best for you.. remember to push the ball more than actually "throw" the ball. it's a different motion on release

@monkeyszzzz u gotta throw it with speed or else the wind dont catch it and it dont dance
