Use your legs
In baseball your velocity is generated by your leg kick and drive. Get low.
In tennis, your service speed is generated by your arm speed, hit in front& down on the ball from its highest point.
You're 45 years old and w basic mechanics you will throw a baseball 75 miles per hour and serve a tennis ball into the mid 90s accurately
Dougie weren't you an infielder in high school or something?Last edited by Fred The Hammer; 07-19-21, 08:18 AM.Comment -

Chapman at Louisville before he made the Reds. See the leg getting ready to get full extension then the arm comes along for the ride. Less stress on his arm and maximum velocity.Comment -

#145Gave me flashbacks being a young kid watching WKRP with my parents. Can only remember the theme song, Lonnie Anderson, and this episode. 1 minute 20 seconds would not be allowed today. 22 minute mark with Lester in right field was just hilarious. My God was Lonnie beautiful.

that radar seems to be working for your tennis serve. That was definitely around 80. Your toss is way too low. You are hitting the ball too early as a result and off balance. I've hit 120 in my day.. lol not to brag, but definitely to brag. My second serve is usually a kick serve and is faster than that one above. I think the ttwarrior video of him taking serves were much faster than this one. Come on dougy! mb stick to the baseball partComment -

#155I pretty much agree with you that probably is low 70s but this might sound like an excuse but I'm really not rearing back & throwing at max effort. Since I first started throwing a couple wks. ago I've been feeling tightness in the lower part of my shoulder so this is probably 90% effort. Once that goes away in a couple weeks I could def. add at least 5MPH.Last edited by Doug tushyterror; 07-19-21, 06:10 PM.Comment -

#156Verifiable proof that I was throwing at least in the 70s. Just had a 20 minute chat with one of their reps who basically said It was a set up issue. Since the radar is only 5' behind me instead of 10' to15' like it should be it's not getting an accurate beam which is only the size of a quarter. He told me to stand 5' to 10' closer to the wall & tilt the radar slightly down to get an accurate reading. He said even though it's less than 60' it would still be accurate because it's providing the reading right out of my hand. I'm gonna start posting 2 vids/wk every Thurs & Sun. 85 might be far fetched but I guarantee I'll hit at least 80 by the end of the summer. That's a link to the phone call but I doubt it will work.

#172I got a ticket one time from a police officer in an airplane
The judge told me they timed me between two points with a known distance
Said it was more accurate than their radar gunsComment -

#174Vid upcoming later today, extremely confident I'll hit 75 pitching & 100 serving with radar properly adjusted. Anyone doubting I'll bet you my available betpoints (48) 36 +12 for logging in tonight. 1st come 1st serve if you care to wager that I'll hit at least 1 of those 2 readings.Last edited by Doug tushyterror; 07-20-21, 02:38 PM.Comment -

#175im in dougie for the bet
rooting for you....but don't think you will do it based on previous videos. Looks like you are casually throwing the ball, not rocketing the ball to generate the speedComment
