The Myth of Arm Dominance in Command

The “Complicated Command” Trap

Many pitchers fall into the trap of believing their throwing arm action is the sole driver of accuracy.

The small muscles of the arm sap velocity and do the job of the entire body, leading to frustratingly poor control.

The Foundation of Accuracy

True command isn’t “aimed”; it is built from the ground up through a coordinated sequence:

Starting with weight centered over the back foot allows for a powerful leg lift without sacrificing balance and a clean, controlled lead side sets the “sights” and stabilizes the torso.

The lower body rotates and generates the kinetic energy, directing the momentum toward the target and the arm follows naturally, simply delivering the power generated by the legs and core.

“Simple Command” Defined

Command originates from a stable lower body and a repeatable delivery.

When the foundation is quiet, the arm does its job efficiently.

Think of the arm as the delivery vehicle. The lower body is the GPS and the engine.

Our Guarantee

We are so confident in this “foundation-first” approach that we offer a unique promise:

If we can’t help you hit your target consistently by fixing your kinetic chain, send us a video, and we’ll point out where you can improve.
