long toss

Long Toss can be accomplished on your own
by simply bringing a bucket of balls, and
go over to the HS field.

1. Have your partner bring a fungo bat and hit it back to you.

2. Have your partner run up a 20-30 feet and throw and then drift back when you throw.

3. Have your partner throw short of you and let it roll up to you.

4. Do bread crumb LT. Leave a trail of balls beyond where your partner is capable of throwing, you pick them up and throw them in.

5. Do relay LT. Bring two friends instead of one.

6. Use the Bear bucket method.

I have used all methods successfully with my son.

If you are rich (or your parents are) go purchase a JUGS pitching machine and have your partner launch balls to back to you.

thank u these are some good ideas i will use them soon well tommorow acutly.

Call your partner a p**sy and laugh at his noodle arm. That should fix the problem.

LOL..When my son was a jr & sr in high school, when he had me long toss with him, he sent me into the next zip code or so it seemed .

As a former F9 with a great arm, he could really chuck it but it got to a point I just couldn't reach him and my while my arm isn't that bad and still play softball, I never had the arm strength he has.

He used to ride me pretty good when the only shot I had at reaching him was to heave it a mile in the air while getting a couple of running steps while he effortlessly hit me on a line.

I had the fungo bat. It was easier on my old wing.

At my age I max out at about 180' on a good day, and it hurts to do that. My son is only about 310' because he gets a lot of tail on the ball and doesn't take a big crow hop. Too far for me to run up. I just make him find another player.

Haven't you revealed your silly sissy HS rookie softball stroke?
