Pitching a softball correctly is difficult and requires tremendous muscle memory. Perfect circle is a training system that improve this muscle memory on every pitch.
Are you constantly reminding pitchers to keep that bottom part of the circle in close to the thigh. If you pitch, you've probably heard it over and over. However, what do you do when you are practicing without someone to notice and remind you when your arms get to far away from your thigh at the bottom?
The last thing you want to do is to develop this mistake into your muscle memory.
The Answer is the PERFECT CIRCLE.
It is simple, compact, and easy to use. It fits in your bat bag, in your training bucket, or even in your pocket.
If you are a windmill pitcher, this is a must! It will be the best investment you make in your pitching.
The PERFECT CIRCLE is a training system designed to teach the proper placement of the hand in the release zone. This training system is a great pitching aid whether you are working on basic mechanics or on the advance pitching mechanics of the windmill motion such as: FASTBALL, CHANGE-UP, DROPBALL, SCREWBALL, RISEBALL, AND CURVEBALL.

Developing the Windmill Pitcher
The Body is behind the Pitch
Before you begin the actual pitching motion, the upper body leans forward with the weight transferring from the back heel to the ball of the front foot. This transfer of weight provides additional power in the pitch by aligning the upper body with the intended flight of the ball, directly toward the batter
A Perfect Circle in the Line of Force
The pitching arm travels in a 360 degree circle in line with the intended direction of the pitch, allowing the shoulder to rotate fully and the arm to move straight up in front and straight down in back
The Proper Shoulder and Hip Rotation
As you begin the perfect circle after the weight transfer, the left (lead) shoulder extends forward toward the target. Once the arm has reached the downswing the hip thrusts outward and slightly toward first base which allows the pitching arm to follow a perfect circle in the line of force
The Proper Release and Timing
The ball is released at the bottom of the circle, with an extended arm somewhere between the hip and thigh area. The arm brushes the hip at the bottom of the circle for an indicator of your release and prepares the forearm, wrist and fingers for the follow through
The Proper Follow Through
At the release the arm does not stop. Reach the arm through, out and toward the batter, fingers toward the sky. Use finger to shoulder follow through
