Customer Reviews

Excellent tool for beginners!
This highly accessible DVD gave us what we needed to help our daughter improve her pitching mechanics. Each aspect of windmill pitching is broken down, explained and demonstrated. Coach Todd talks to his pitchers about what they are doing right and wrong--and how to improve everything from gripping the ball, to arm motion, to footwork and follow through. Our daughter's mechanics have improved 100%. She uses the lessons in this video to judge and correct her own motion.
I highly recommend this video to beginning pitchers, parents, and to coaches as a way of mastering the basics of windmill pitching.

Best Pitching Techniques Video
This video is truly worth the asking price. In a few minutes of watching the video, my 10 year old daughter went from not being able to reach home plate from the pitchers mound to being able to reasonably throw pitch after pitch over the plate at speed. The techniques are simple and easy to emulate. The video shows the things to do correctly and also the things to NOT DO and trouble areas. It is geared towards both older and younger players with no experience. My 10 year old watches it daily and then runs outside to try what she just learned. It is a world-class coach in a box. Unlike many sports training tapes this video is long and filled with key tips. It is not just 12 minutes of a single tip leading you to another tape to get the other techniques. This video stands alone. Well worth the money a dozen times over!

Easy, step by step...
I will immediatly use this with my young pitchers. The coach is clear and concise. He breaks down each step and then puts it all together. I highly recommend this DVD!
