How Do You Throw A Knuckleball In Slow-Pitch Softball?
In throwing a knucleball in slow-pitch one has to realize that speed of the ball has alot to do with the balls movement. One can still have the ball ‘dance’ so to speak, but it does take alittle more effort and some good old fashion wind to accomplish some of the movement. In the first step, lets look at slow pitch and modified pitch. The modified pitch in softball has a little more speed and alot less arch than the slow pitch. This being said it is alot easier to get movement on the ball because of the speed alone. The challenge is lets say in slow pitch not so much as to get alot of movement but to take the spin off the ball so that if there is any wind that in itself would make the ball move somewhat. The hand placement on the ball is what creates or takes away the spin on the ball. By using the threads of the ball and placing the first two fingers with the first knuckles on the threads in a bent position one has the beginning of the pitch. The problem might be the size of the ball
