wait sorry so would a lefty have to do it reversed or should I do it the same way? like for the second way, would I have my fingers on the right side or no?

[@scarrleeporter]

The problem I had with this was the release, i kept releasing it like a screwball, but the when you said doorknob it sort of just clicked. Thank you!

[@SuperSuperstar108]

thanks

What's funny is that a riseball in softball is thrown the same way as a curveball in baseball (as far as wrist action and release). The difference in movement is only because of the release angle.

Hey Amanda , this is not how I pictured tossing a riseball. The other thing? I played HS baseball , and after let's say college, played in a men's fastpitch softball league. So I hit against a riseball and it is 100% the equivalent to the baseball pitch that fools major league players on a regular basis. Myself I just laid off it , most often it was out of the strike zone. Appreciate the flic.

[@Milocys29]

woww! i would like to have youuu as my coach assistant !!

[@AlexSmith-mt3de]

Man a rise ball is impossible to hit. I believe it is one of the hardest pitches to hit

[@electrodoggomusicz2462]

This was made 9 years ago and I am only the 18th comment lol

[@livalittle13]

This is a great video. But rise balls don't actually rise. They are simply high fast balls.

[@dnnyshdy5189]

No such thing as a rise ball. It’s a high fast ball
