Review

About a year ago a video masterpiece hit the market called Pitching Absolutes. The sequel to this critically acclaimed instructional video called Pitching Mechanics is even better in my book. It's 93- minute tape packed full of valuable information on how coaches and players can spot problems in the pitching delivery and correct them through proper mechanics. The video is packed full of hidden treasures. It all adds up to another spectacular tape by Steinfeld and House which is a must buying for the serious pitcher or pitching coach. -- Collegiate Baseball, Oct. 1989

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for all ages, July 1, 2001

This review is from: Pitching Mechanics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

.... I have owned this video for a year now and cant begin to count the number of times I've seen it. House explains in detail how the biomechanics of pitching work at the beginning of the video then takes you to the field to show you some of the basics. Simple things I didnt know, things that not only show you how to develop more velocity and control but more importantly show the correct way to position the body to greatly reduce the chance of injury. When he is on the field working with young pitchers they range in age from 8 or 9 to 21. And these principals apply to all age groups. You cant digest all of this in one sitting. As I mentioned before I watch this over and over as I'm working with the boys. If your serious about teaching youngsters properly I highly recomend this video. I dont have the first one which is Pitching Absolutes, but am ordering it today. I guess I cant say enough about how much this has helped. Good Luck, Alan

Tom House demonstrates proper throwing and pitching techniques to minimize injury and maximize speed and power. After watching this video I now understand why I had previously injured my shoulder through an improper throwing technique. The video shows how to modify and improve throwing techniques easily. I would recommend this video to anyone playing any sport where a ball is thrown, such as baseball, softball and even cricket players would benefit when fielding a ball and throwing.
