I thought I might add you don't "push" the ball to the plate. You throw it like any other ball. The only difference is at release point you point your fingers out to home plate. And also remember to always follow through. This pitch was not meant to be throw hard. In fact a slower arm speed is better. The slower it goes the more it moves. But make sure you throw it fast enough so it reaches the plate! Once you do it right youll always want to throw it. Trust me.
