The other is a simple pull of the bow. Stand out of your stance and take your right foot straight back, extending both arms with closed fists in front. Pull your right arm straight back like you are shooting a cross bow. When you get your right fist to your shoulder, put your feet back to shoulder width, and hammer home the out, either up top or on your chest - however you want to do it.
Not to make this a hammer/no hammer thread  |
I'm interested in getting some response to my method.
I'm virtually the same as Tuss described but when no one is on base or 2 outs as I start the mechanic I'm looking the batter in the eye, and when I bring my left hand up I point it at the batter, the whole time I'm punching him out (all 3-4 seconds of it) I'm pointing and looking.
I've found it to be a technique that eliminates most grumbling and bad body language when the big dog makes first eye contact and points the punch at them. There's no mistaken I'm confident in the call.
I don't see anyone else doing it this way. Is there a good reason. I'm open for the barrage.
