Now there's a companion videotape to the baseball instructional book The Pitching Edge! This video shows how pitching technique is taught, performed, and corrected for maximum efficiency and effectiveness on the mound. Featuring former major league pitcher and top pitching coach Tom House, The Pitching Edge Video combines practical on-field instruction and drills with expert off-field analysis and explanation. Whether you're in the big leagues or youth leagues, you'll benefit from the many flat-ground and mound practice drills presented. And you'll gain insight into common problems and how to overcome them through Coach House's slow-motion video analysis of each phase of the pitching motion. This expertly produced video demonstrates and explains why the grip is less important than the direction of the wrist at release, why the "Flex-T" position of the upper arms and elbows is essential, why the drop-and-drive delivery reduces velocity, and much more. Words of Praise "Superb. A remarkable companion to the best selling instructional book. Must viewing by all serious pitching coaches and hurlers on all levels of baseball."

You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. - Jim Bouton
