The 3X to 2X Factor to Pitching Velocity

If you have spent any time on this site you have learned the importance of triple extension to building explosive power in the pitching delivery. The 3X approach to pitching velocity labels this as the 3X Factor to pitching velocity. It is the foundation to the entire approach but it isn’t the only factor. 3X Pitching also describes the 2X Factor to pitching velocity which seems to be overlooked by many who believe that increasing pitching velocity only comes in the discovery of one secret or one component. 3X is important and will have a tremendous effect on pitching velocity but in combinations with 2X it is what the elite pitcher needs to performance at his top velocity.

3X Pitching Mechanics Triggers to Benefit You Game Time

3X Pitching is an advanced approach to pitching velocity. It is extremely effective but requires an insane work ethic to implement the 3X mechanics. It is hard enough to perfect the 3X approach when in practice, when in a game, it can almost seem impossible until you have given it enough time and effort. What makes game time so difficult is the stress factor. Stress effects the brain by overloading it with excessive stimulation. This means all of the new motor coordination, that has just been programmed, is out the window when stress shows up. The only way to battle this is to learn how to reduce your stress levels by giving your brain some triggers to simplify the mechanics commands to help stimulate your central nervous system.

Conquer the Force Vector and Increase Pitching Velocity

The hardest component to conquer in the power pitching delivery is bar far the force vector. Most pitching coaches do not coach this component because they more than likely have no idea what it is. If you want to increase velocity quickly, or you need to increase velocity quickly, then spend your time training this secret component to pitching velocity. It is the foundation of the 3X approach to pitching.

If we compared the pitching delivery of a power pitcher to a high powered riffle then the force vector would be the barrel and triple extension would be the trigger. Without either one, your high powered riffle is junk. It also doesn’t matter how much gun powder is in the gun, without the barrel or the trigger, it is useless. Read more

Increase Velocity for Position Players

The 3X Pitching Velocity Program has made a big name for itself online, due to its ability to produce results for any age and at all levels of the game. The foundation of the approach to pitching is 3X or triple extension, which is a component that is mainly effective for the pitcher. 3X is what allows a pitcher to build their maximum power down the mound. With an outfielder and even an infielder, they do not have the surface of the pitching mound to deal with or do they usually have to start in a static position, like when on the rubber. This means 3X is not a component that will benefit the fielder as much as the pitcher. The two other components from the 3X approach to pitching, which will benefit the fielder, is the Force Vector and Hip to Shoulder Separation. Read more

Arm Path and Pitching Velocity

Conventional wisdom would say the path that the arm takes during the delivery is significant to velocity. If you look at Newton’s Second Law of Motion you will find that the path has nothing to do with the velocity of the ball. Acceleration or the velocity of the ball is determined by the force applied, divided by its mass. We know that the path does not change the mass or the force applied, so conventional wisdom would be wrong in coaching the arm path as having an effect on velocity. Read more
