A proper balance, guided by accurate proprioceptive feedback, enables the kinetic chain to operate efficiently, resulting in optimal velocity and remarkable accuracy.
Proprioception: The Foundation of Balance and Accuracy
Fundamental to balance, proprioception is your “sixth sense” that allows your body to know its position, movement, and effort unconsciously.
You feel your center of gravity precisely over your back foot instep.
You sense the natural upward turn of its palm, guiding your throwing arm.
This means your brain is receiving clear signals about limb positions and muscle tension, allowing for smooth, coordinated movements.
Kinetic Chain: The Mechanism for Power and Direction
Driven by proprioception, the kinetic chain is the sequential transfer of energy from the ground up through the body.
Not just for balance, the glove arm plays a crucial role in the kinetic chain, counter-rotation, and directing energy.
As the lower body rotates, the glove arm’s controlled movement across your body leads the shoulder and arm, creating elastic energy, and ensuring that the force generated up the kinetic chain is directed precisely towards the target.
Pitch Smart
The glove arm’s role is indeed crucial in both maintaining balance, contributing to the efficient direction and transfer of energy through the chain.
We’re so confident in our instructions that, if we can’t help you get the ball to your target, via live or zoom instruction, your instruction is FREE, no questions asked.
