THREE Great DVDs from Coach Johnson:

1) The "TRIPLE PITCH" DVD for Fastpitch Softball Pitchers

By Jerry Johnson, Softball Pitching Coach, Mountain State University (WV)

The Triple Pitch offers a brand-new pitch that drops across the plate along an 11-to-5 path while traveling off-speed.

     The Triple Pitch is effective due to its unique spin. When pitched correctly, the pitch can do several different things. The speed is between a fastball and a change up, with a slight curve and a very slight drop. The Triple pitch has two grips and two releases that can be used by the intermediate or advanced pitcher.
 
     The Triple Pitch is a new softball pitch as reliable as a changeup, curveball and dropball. It's a combination of all three that gives you a dynamic new pitch for your pitching arsenal.

 

     As Coach Johnson discovered in 2006, there's a simple way to invent a softball pitch that's as reliable as the changeup, curveball and dropball: Just combine all three. After spending a year experimenting with different grips and release points, the softball pitching coach at West Virginia's Mountain State University unspooled an offering that dropped across the plate along an 11-to-5 path while traveling off-speed.

     The Triple Pitch is effective due to its unique spin. When pitched correctly, the pitch can do several different things. The speed is between a fastball and a change up, with a slight curve and a very slight drop. The Triple pitch has two grips and two releases that can be used by the intermediate or advanced pitcher.

     Suspecting that he had developed a new toss, Johnson e-mailed Ernie Parker, who has coached the likes of Olympians Jennie Finch and Lisa Fernandez on his national teams. Parker confirmed that the "triple pitch" is indeed brand-new and requested to see a video of it in action. Johnson did him one better and made the drive to Parker's home in Memphis for a live demonstration. Impressed, Parker helped Johnson spread the word.

    Then, with the aid of MSU pitcher Natalie Hanson and catcher Jennifer Sloan, Johnson filmed a 40-minute instructional video that displays the triple pitch's two different grips and release points.

"Jerry demonstrated this pitch to me and explained the mechanics of the pitch. I found it to be a very sharp breaking pitch that will be very effective when thrown correctly. I would like to wish all of you the very best. Work hard and be the best you can be."   Coach Ernie Parker

2) The "DROP BALL" DVD for the Younger Pitcher

By Jerry Johnson, Softball Pitching Coach, Mountain State University (WV)

Includes two bonus pitches: The Curve Drop & the Off-Speed Peel Drop

Features Slow-Motion and Split Screen - run time, 50 minutes

"I hope this DVD will inspire younger girls to get more involved in fast pitch softball, especially the pitching side of the game. The pitchers in this DVD, Kelsey and Cassie, have a combined experience level of three years! You, too, can be at this level of pitching if you make a commitment to work hard and practice, practice, practice. Always strive to be better today than yesterday, practice and commitment make the difference."         Coach Jerry Johnson

3)  The Curve and Screw Ball "For The Younger Pitcher"

By Jerry Johnson, Softball Pitching Coach, Mountain State University (WV)

This DVD isn’t just for the beginner or intermediate pitcher… it’s for ALL pitchers.

 

Chelsea demonstrates how to correctly pitch the screw ball and curve ball; and, she also demonstrates drills for pitchers of all experience levels.

 

In this DVD you will discover how simple and easy it is to do drills inside, in a relatively small area, that will maintain your spin, speed, and mechanics on the ball during the winter months. All that is needed is a bucket of balls.
