  • my fastball floats..wait...what?maybe this could be my secret to winning every game.but please.how do i throw fast?im throwing with all my power with my arm.but i cant get over 130kph.

  • The forkball is a slip pitch, so it has to slide out the back of your grip as you finish the pitch. it is not supposed to spin it will act like a kunckleball the grips right.

  • I like that hat !!!!!!!

  • @Woodhaven1966 cool story bro :)

  • my son's forkball sometimes does not rotate for half the way to home plate, then it starts to tumble. It then acts like a knuckleball and we never know which way it will break.

    He has since learned to make it behave in different ways.

    It does seem to put stress on his forearm which gets sore after throwing too many of them. He pitches D3 college.

  • It is supposed to spin it's supposed to spin forward, you can get this spin by curling your fingers. The pitch is used to get batters swinging early.

  • @dbzrkyyh it's not suppose d to spin. it is a slip pitch...

  • for some reason when ever i throw both these pitches, they dont spin at all and knuckle... is that normal ?
