Is Softball Pitching a Rotational Movement?

In this week’s video I explain the importance of rotational movement in the windmill pitching sequence. Although softball pitching doesn’t appear to be powered by rotation in the same way batting is, control of rotation is what allows athletes to achieve critical positions throughout the delivery.

    Greetings to Joe Bonyai
    I’m a PGA qualified golf professional interest in taking my knowledge of studying physical measurements of golf’s kinematic sequence and applying this knowledge to other sports. We use a K-Vest designed by Phil Cheetham using small inertial sensors that have become very popular in the golfing world to make physical measurements.
    I would appreciate being on your mailing list for papers which discus physical motion measurements of athletic performance.
    I thank you kindly for your consideration,
    Fran Harper, PGA
