AH a knuckle ball is pretty easy to throw if you have someone who can throw it right show you. my knuckle ball has gotten better since highschool because ive busted more fingers and they are all crooked. really helps w/ the movement. and yea im sure that your arm hurts from throwin a screwball. mine does everytime. i never throw them any more or i wont last 4 innings. once in a while ill throw one to a lefty batter after throwin a 6 to 12 curve. ide say my most reliable pitches would be 2 seem which tends to tail high and right. and my change w/ a 6/12 curve a 2/7 curve will get driven everytime in the league i play in. its all they see. and it pretty much goes w/ out sayin if i throw a knuckle ball that becomes a silvaneer for someone lol i cant throw it w/ any velocity

Never been able to throw one, i tried and tried and tried, could never get it down. Thats ok though, i'll stick with my Slider, Curve(doesn't really curve, it sinks) circle change, 2 and 4 seamers, and my little screwball. Does your 2 seamer move? My 2 seamer breaks right to left naturally. I'm glad i have someone to talk baseball with

All in all, I throw 3 different fastballs, a curve and a knuckleball. I like having the knuckleball because I can't throw a changeup worth a crap.....

No, neither one of my fastballs move. I throw my 2-seamer so straight over-handed that it doesn't have any way to break. It is my speed pitch. There is something about a 2-seam fastball that is thrown straight overhand that intimidates most batters I throw against. It is a wicked looking pitch coming straight down the pipe.

I have tried to throw a good knucle, but mine always starts to spin halfway there. My friend tried to show me, he throws an insane knuckle ball. it just wobbles the whole way there. If i would really work with it, i would have an insane curve. Right now, if i threw one, it looks like your gonna get hit in the head, then it curves down and away from you. Its almost perfect, now i need to be consistent. Anyone here play golf? I would like to play, but i dont know if i could afford the practice. lol.
