Holding the ball higher causes slower speed, not higher.
Speed = distance divided by time.
Starting the ball lower, makes the time period from when the ball starts swinging down (going back) to when the ball reaches the bottom of the swing (going forward) shorter.
If you stand is the same place as before, and reach the release point (distance from foul line) the same, you've maintained distance, while decreasing time.
Speed = distance divided by time.
Reducing the denominator increases the quotient (answer to the division problem)
Speed is better generated from the large muscles in your legs, than the "smaller" muscles in your arm.
The muscles in your arm, when activated, tend to have a negative effect on accuracy.
