Re: Direction of Knob

>>I would say across the oppo batters box toward the base it adjustd after that by pitch location ,#2 just get a comfortabpe load that feels connected usually having some curving action of the hands as they rotate back into the load.picture pulling your rear elbow toward the dugout behind you and that is usually a good load then adjust to what feels comfortable,different body styles have different degrees of load
