Hip Drive - How To Use Your Hips In Your Delivery
Hip drive is a very important piece of the pitching delivery. When we drive off the rubber with our foot, we want to make sure that our hip doesn't just go along for the ride.
As our foot starts to disengage from the rubber we want to make sure that we are firing our right hip for a right-handed pitcher or our left hip for a left-handed pitcher toward the catcher.
One thing we want to make sure about firing our hip toward the catcher is that we want our hip driving down the slope of the mound. Make sure that your hip is not moving up as you are going down the mound. Check out the video for a great visual explanation.
