Basics 1-2-3: The Basic & Fundamentals for the Windmill Pitcher

I was very impressed with the quality and instruction in this video. While I would have liked some more in depth instruction on some of the fundamentals in the video, the video is meant as an introduction to the basics of pitching and it does that very well.

Good for the Parents too

This DVD is great. I did not know anything about windmill softball pitching. My daughter and I watched it together and it was explained in a common sense step by step procedure. I highly recommend this to any beginning softball pitchers.

Mediocre

I bought this to help my 10 yr old pitch. It is a good starter in the absence of no material. The problem I have with this dvd is the material doesn't cover enough trouble shooting. My daughter's form developed very nicely thanks in part to this dvd but her accuracy wasn't improving and there wasn't much if any advice on the cause.

I then purchased Windmill Pitching 101 by Nancy Evans. The cost is twice as much but it is also over two times longer and is much much better in instructing, and adds more clarity than this dvd. Also Better drill exercises and superior troubleshooting.

great starter video

Very informative on the basic fundamentals of pitching. Many coaches have viewed this video and found it extremely helpful when trying to start young girls out pitching.

Basics 1-2-3: The Basics & Fundamentals for the Windmill Pitcher

This video is fairly informative, however, I don't go for the robotics type training. I have trouble getting my students, who have started with this type of training, to get into the reality of pitching.

I pitched fastpitch softball for over 35 years and I wouldn't recommend the robotics type of beginning.
