So why do we shorten the stride? Make sure you push off normal and then pull the foot down. When I pull my foot down and shorten my stride, notice all my weight goes over my left foot. So I will call it nose over toes, nose could be past the toes, weights on the ball on my foot, you can also feel the weight roll and shift through your foot on the ball of that foot, okay.
I want to be very tall on my drop release, do not make the mistake of bending at the waist. It's not a body bend; it's a whole body lean. The release of my fastball is this height. Well, the release of my drop ball is higher, it's up here.
Notice I have a downward angle to my arm. The fastball is a straight angle at release. The drop has a downward angle to the arm. The last point where the thumb is in front of the ball is when I need to release it in order to get the ball to move downward. We have topspin on drops. Topspin is same as the fastball. We have to make sure we have early releases. It's released later, even though it might have top-spin, it will stay flat.
So early snaps, shorter strides, weight over the ball. The posture creates the environment to help create the top-spin in the downward action.
