That makes so much sense. Played baseball since i was a kid and joined a work slow pitch team. Kept trying to throw it with only two fingers like a baseball
Coming from baseball over 15 years ago, I adopted the three finger grip because I thought it felt better. After playing that way for near 13 years, I decided to change to a two fingered grip like in baseball. My speed and accuracy improved greatly.
@@SnapSoftball I do have a larger than average hand size which makes a two-fingered grip feasible. I play with a guy that grips the ball with four fingers and has one of the most accurate throws I've seen, so I guess it comes down to what works best for you.
I’m going to play in high school this year but it’s my first time playing softball.I have to practice on it but willing to learn.Ive been watching videos and I’m glad this video popped up as well😭🙏
I do a 4 finger horse shoe around the ball for true spin and I don’t grip the ball I put space inbetween the ball and my hand it shows true spin and I also do the same thing pitching.
When exactly are you taking the time to get a perfect grip? As far as I have ever noticed the only time someone has the time to adjust their grip is during pitching. However this is an overhand throwing grip
I'm not sure if you are serious or not. Every single serious player I ever met, worked on getting the best grip possible in the transfer glove to hand, to ensure they are repeating the exact same thing each rep.
players always feel for their grip if they have any extra time. Maybe you don't. But high-level players take any available time to work the ball in their hands for a better grip - even if its just a half a second. Many plays dont allow for gripping the ball, though, as you point out, but many others do.
you do if your good cause if youre an out fielder ir even infielder this can be on the transition from glove to hand and becomes second nature over time
@@SnapSoftball It will allow more roll off your fingers allowing more movement and allow more snap creating greater speed. There is a reason a fastball is thrown with two and a changeup is thrown with three.

for men, two can work, kinda, depending. For girls in fastpitch, three is essential

Every time I go three fingers on the laces, i ALWAYS limp wrist the throw. If I throw it like a baseball, I don't have that problem.

It's all preference, I throw 2 fingers like a baseball and throw a 2 seam ot a 4 seam which ever way I grab it out of my glove 🤷🏻🤷🏻
is it under or over hand throwing techniuqe
Tq sir ❤

Btw I actually play softball and I’m a pitcher anyway make sure you don’t curl ur pinky finger and you hold it on the left horseshoe

Chat my hands not that big 😂
That's called backspin.

Bro we don’t have time to worry about that stuff in a game
thanks bro

If your hands are big enough use two fingers.
using two fingers does not provide any advantage

no, that's just your opinion. This is not baseball. It's softball. the ball is bigger.
Okay I played softball for over 14 years of my life why did nobody ever say this... wtf?!
Fr
Fr? I just grab it

You should come out for 12u

No guys don't listen
for girls playing fastpitch, this is a must. This video wasnt just for slowpitch
