My body does turn, but I don't think I pivot correctly like you say. Well, there is another thing to work on.




For the record, I have never been to a school in my life. I do plan on going to one before next season though (I know I have a lot to learn). everything I have learned I have either been taught from somebody I worked with, or picked up from watching better umpires.
