It comes down to practicing until it's as natural as, well, walking. Only amateur walkers are impressed when they slip a little but still catch their balance.<BR/><BR/>Slipping, tripping, and occassionally falling happen even to the best of walkers.

As for Plax, his issue is that he doesn't want to be around Eli more than absolutely necessary. Can you blame him??<BR/><BR/>As for catching... I just like to drop things in my house and see if I can catch them before they hit the ground. Accidentally.

The ridiculous number of reps you put in throwing throughout your career.<BR/><BR/>If fact, I seem to remember talking to you about this very thing over a couple of beers the other night. Eventually, you're so in tune with your body, your hands & fingers can make minute adjustments based solely on the feel of it. Same goes for catching. <BR/><BR/>So much of my time at -89https://www.blogger.com/profile/06004774314842266152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411266245885628595.post-73827159536405682312007-11-25T19:49:00.000-05:002007-11-25T19:49:00.000-05:00gapoole:tight grip. of course.

I don't know what a pincer is (aside from a dog, but I think that's spelled differently), but it sounds like something Ian would use.<BR/><BR/>Ian:<BR/>I can always count on you to be you. That's comforting.<BR/>You seriously *never* lose your grip? That is impressive. I'd say it happens like 0-7 times per calendar year, practice and pickup included.

Do you keep a tight or loose grip, normally? Jackson keeps it loose, I feel it helps to tighten up. Mr. Holt uses a pincer grip for his forehand, which I didn't understand at all, but worked for me when I tried it.gapoolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379733859426588864noreply@blogger.com
