1.
Using a softball, practice the proper grip-and arm position:
The shot should be cradled-not gripped-with the
thumb holding the ball at the base of all four fingers.
The put begins with the shot hold under the chin with the
elbow up and behind the shoulder.
2.
Using softball, practice the proper release:
- The shot is propelled with a, pushing action--not
a throw-with the elbow staying behind the hand and the heel
of the palm advancing in front of the shot as the arm straightens
out.
3.
Practice putting softball:
Have each student stand at the front of the throwing circle
with both feet against the shot too board, turn the shoulders
90-degrees, and push the ball from under the chin with the
elbow raised behind the hand. Have students who demonstrate
the proper grip and release repeat the drill using a 4kg
shot.
4.
Practice standing puts:
Have right-handed cutters '1) place the outside of the left
foot against the toe board at the front of the throwing
circle, and the right foot near the middle of the ring with
the toe of the left foot in-line with the heel of the right
foot (opposite positioning for left-handed throwers), 2)
turn the shoulders toward the back of the ring, 3) bend
at the waist, 4) rise, turn and release while driving off
the right foot
