Lesson 11: Optional Arm Approaches

To the Next Level
What follows are some specific approaches that might conflict with each other. Even when they don't conflict, they definitely can't all be taught at once. Details for each approach available to Team Players only. Please login or join. Counter-Rotation Push Back or Coil Back Top Hand Punch Elbow Whip Fewer Segments What's it all mean?
More whip action vs. fewer "segments". Push-pull rotation vs. linear drive. If those confuse you, well, we warned you about reading this, but perhaps we can leave you with 2 thoughts...

If our instruction on this page seems less than absolute, there's a good reason. The instructors we rely on who are contributors to WebBall are of different minds on this. Most would teach "whip" without a second thought. However Perry Husband brought to our attention the results of his tests in a controlled environment with a Zelocity radar system that shows an improvement with "fewer segments". Other of our contributors, including Pete Wilkinson, even after reviewing Perry's findings disagree. We leave it as an "experiment" for the student. |
