Note regarding Step 3. The video (and narration) was produced when it was thought to be best practice for the ball to remain above the power line all the way around the circle. Now I teach that the elbow should remain above the power line all the way around the circle. The resulting hand path moves from to the glove side in the front (ball in front of face) to being off of the power line away from the body in the back then snapping to the power line shortly before release. This path is much easier on the elbow and shoulder and helps prevent injuries. It may also be a contributing factor for Karlyn Pickens' velocity but that has not been proved. The text has been updated to current best practice.
