Getting more movement on my slider...

Mains310+ posts

Hi Guys!
Its been a while since Ive been here. Anyway I have a question for you. I can throw a very nasty slider at times, but most of the time the ball goes way out of the zone( like a good 6+ inches) How can I get it to hit right on the out side edge? Also how can I get it to drop a little more so its more of a slurve type of movement?

Thanks for any help!

For accurracy-Make sure you're staying closed with your front side. This is a personal issue with me, so just some quick advice. You've got to know where to "start it".

For the slurve- I don't fully know since I don't throw a slurve, but I can imagine that you need to pull down more. From the way I've seen kids throw slurves, it looks like it'll be trouble on their arms in the future... just an observation.

Hi, thanks for the advice!

Im actualy not trying to throw a slurve because you are right it can be really bad on the arm.

I just need my slider to drop down more.

Anyways thanks again!

Usually, the lower I throw it in the zone, the more it goes down. If I leave it up, it stays flatter.
