Back Hip Tension Explained By A 99 MPH Pitcher

We dive deep into the concept of back-hip tension and its crucial role in pitching. Discussing how back hip tension works as a "spring" for the hip joint, providing maximum power when properly loaded and unloaded. Stability is key, and we'll explore how maintaining tension through the foot, ankle, knee, and hip creates a solid platform for efficient movement.
Creating tension is a three-dimensional process, combining upward/downward movements, weight shifts, and rotations. You'll learn how an individual's range of motion and hip anatomy can affect the degree of hip flexion, knee bend, and coil needed for optimal performance.
We'll also share a quick test to determine your ideal shin angle based on your seated hip internal rotation (IR). Understanding this aspect can help you find the best position for producing maximum tension and power, regardless of your anatomical biases.

So helpful

kind of looks like how a hitter loads into their back hip too

[@jerryx5195]

Yes! I started by putting both hands together and pretend I'm holding a bat. Then i pull my hands back like I'm about to hit. That was how I learned to load when throwing.

@@jerryx5195interesting. I just started trying this yesterday. Then run across your comment.

What do you think of "pushing" with the external side of the back foot against the rubber, not to jump or something like that, but just before back leg rotation, to give more power to the move ? Let's take for example the "King of the Hill" tool which cliks with a horizontal push, which indicates that pitcher must push somewhere in the motion ?

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Arm injury waiting to happen. Pushing like that, I know exactly what you’re talking about, pushing like that results in the arm being left behind and needing to catch up. Eventually it’s going to do some real damage

[@lb9641]

@@TheRoadLessChosen So these tools are useless ? And all said at topvelocity is non sense ?

[@senor-yak3222]

@@lb9641yes

[@russjordan6186]

It’s much more likely that the pushing motion would only worsen the rotation component or cause a leak in energy. There are guys like Shane mclannahan or chase petty who are able to push and still capture rotation but it seems like it’s more of an individualistic habit and not a movement that is feasible to learn.
