How To Use The SpinDr
Watch the videos and learn the tips to achieve that perfect pitch
The SpinDr is a spin trainer that is best used as a stand-alone practice tool or as a warmup for your pitching workouts.
Begin by determining which pitch(es) you want to focus on and select that pitch from the Find You Pitch video list below.
After you find your grip and understand the correct spin axis, perform 10-20 "perfect spins" for each pitch that you want to learn for each of the following 4 drills (drills outlined below):
1. Spins To Self
2. Spins To Partner
3. Spins from K-Drill
4. Controlled Motion Spins
Spins To Self
Start with the ball in your throwing hand, wrist and elbow locked.
Without bending your elbow, roll the ball down your fingers to create spin.
Spins To Partner
Stand 3'-5' from your target.
Start with the ball in your throwing hand, wrist and elbow locked.
