Contact me when you have a better idea of when you can make a trip.

He can't make a decision so I wanted to make a deal, when my dad knows a good date to go can he just call you up and make an appointment any time.

I wish you could make the Velocity Camp so I could make this a lot easier and show you how the Velocity Drills in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program will help solve this fulcrum problem. Basically when you are performing the med throws with separation you need to focus on driving your back hip forward with triple extension while closing your shoulders off at the same time. Your back hip should be moving forward while your back shoulder is moving backwards. The best drill to train this is the med throw sep on knee. Spend a good two weeks on this and see if you notice a difference in hip to shoulder separation and a better tuck of your glove side. Ron,

For example would it be his triple extension or his tilt. One other thing, in my video analysis you say that I triple extend my back leg while keeping my shoulders closed and I accelarate through it to front foot, but at front foot you say my fulcrum is not set, or that my glove is flying in the air and not tucked in and you say that my elastic energy isn't built at front foot until my fulcrum is set or when my glove is tucked in to my chest and when my fulcrum does get set my shoulders are pretty much already commited to home plate. So would this mean that my separation isn't good, . I don't understand how to and what you mean by building the elastic energy right at front foot and setting the fulcrum at front foot. you said the solution to this was not staying closed off enough with the glove side in the beginnging of the delivery, you were right I was just pointing my glove into the sky during the stride instead of making the glove follow my leg during the stride,you did show me this with Tim Lincecum's glove following his leg during the stride. So I tried to fix this by video camering myself closing off with my back to the target, the glove following my leg my leg during the stride but in the end it didn't help. The same thing happened my fulcrum wasn't set, elastic energy didn't build at front foot and when my fulcrum was set my shoulders were already commited to the target and it messed with my force vector. So I need to understand what you mean by elastic energy at front foot, and setting the fulcrum at front foot and how to perform this. If my separation isn't good then how can I fix that, like would I have to pull my arm back at front foot. Brent, what is the most important part of Tim Lincecums mechancis for him to throw 95+.

Let those who do not have your talent's find a way to discover them. Not all of God's given talents are present at birth. You need to listen to the interview I did with Jim Morris, it may open your eyes <a href="http://topvelocity.net/jim-the-rookie-morris-interview/" rel="nofollow">http://topvelocity.net/jim-the-rookie-morris-inte...</a> Nick,
