> It has become commonplace in men's slowpitch softball to use an overlap grip. In fact, Ken Harvey of the KC Royals used it last year (don't know if he still does). Having said that, can the techniques taught on this site still be used with that style of grip (especially THT)? Furthermore, because slow-pitch players (similiar to golfers) have lots of time to swing, most try to hold-off on snapping the bathead until the last possible moment (store and release). I think this may go against some of the teachings here. Thanks in advance for the responses. DJC.

Hi Folks

This last post brings up a great point. DJC, what exactly is being stored and released, in the opinion of the people that teach such a method? How is it created, how is it stored and what muscles or actions are responsible for releasing it?
