Beat: I can\'t throw a curveball
Beat: I'm 32 and I've been trying to throw a curve since I was 13. I'll never be happy until I can do this one little thing. The bitch is that my fast ball cuts late about 4 inches.
Variance: I play no organized ball so no hitters will ever hit my hanging curve or swing and miss at my cutter. |

It's not hard. Grip ball across single seam, supinate wrist, pull straight down, finish forward. Curveball.

Re: Beat: I can\'t throw a curveball
I used to not be able to throw ANYTHING but now I can throw a curveball, knuckleball, and knuckle curve. Not sure how any of this helps you but there you have it. Seriously though, if one method isn't working, try another, it's not that bad once you get the hang of it.

Re: Beat: I can\'t throw a curveball
Orel Hershiser put out a pitching video a few years back. I used to pitch and I found his discussion/demonstrations to be very helpful. The curveball is about 4:30 into this clip. Good luck, hope this helps!
