IS THE SCREWBALL A SCAM? Physics vs. Tradition 🥎😱 The age-old endless debate… Does a screwball actually “screw”? At Fastpitch Physics, we look at data—the science tells the real story. 🧬 Traditional ball movement depends on the Magnus Effect, which requires a spin axis perpendicular to the ball's path. The problem? Most traditional screwball mechanics actually create bullet spin. Usually intentionally. The Hard Truth: * 🚫 Bullet Spin = Zero Magnus Force. * 📉 Most "screwballs" are actually l

🔥 HOT TAKE: The screwball is either the most overhyped junk pitch in softball… or the most untouchable weapon you’ll ever throw. It either doesn’t exist, or it is a pitcher’s go to. 👉 Some coaches say it destroys mechanics and is just a glorified inside fastball. 👉 Others swear it’s their strikeout pitch that fists batter’s hands or runs from batters’ bats. 🥎 My verdict? If you can’t spin it sharp and command it consistently—it’s the WORST pitch in the game. But when executed with elite spin

Screwballs ares my least favorite pitch, no surprise there! But there is a place for them! Neither of these two pitchers will be learning screwball from me at lessons but they got a taste of it during camp stations last year! This drill helps to learn weight transfer and is an over exaggeration but man does it work! Developed it years ago to help one client with feel of getting inside of it, and man it works wonders for most! Give it a try today! #pitching #fastpitch #softball #pitcher #baseball
