A special report featuring ideas from the WebBall community
We challenged the WebBall community to tell us the toughest pitches they face as hitters. Then we turned to experts, our own in-house teaching methods, and survey respondents to come up with answers. The result is a special report unlike anything you've ever seen. This "how to hit" PDF explains why pitches like the curveball, slider, change-up, and high-heat are so tough on batters. You'll learn the physics behind each pitch, how to model their flight paths, how to set yourself physically - and mentally - to handle the worst of the worst.
Thunder & Lightning
In answer to a growing demand to make the tips and techniques featured on our site available in hard copy, we've produced "Thunder & Lightning, the WebBall Field Manual for Run Production." Compiled and edited by head coach Richard Todd, this 150-page, large-format, spiral-bound book contains not only the best of our website, but illustrations and ideas that have not yet found their way on to the pages of WebBall.
