There are things in nature that people can sense, but not know how to explain.Originally Posted by fordman1
When you play catch with a friend, do you apply the math and calculate the forces, and trajectories so the baseball will leave your hand, and be catchable by your friend?
When you let the ball go, can you see into the future and know it was a good throw or bad?
My point is how do you achieve that "really good idea" that allows you to see into the future?

Well I usually have a pretty good idea of where I need to throw the ball to hit the pocket, so once I let it go if I'm aiming over second arrow and let it go 2-3 boards left of that I can usually figure where my ball is going somewhere left of the headpin.
Ok for you it's a visual clue.... not really the instant you let go of the ball, but once you can see it's path.
I know what it is, I was just curious if someone else did, and knew how to describe it.
Yes it comes with practice, and knowing the feel of a proper release, but what exactly are you feeling.
It's best described using the language of physics.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
For every force you apply with your hand, to the ball at release, the ball applies an equal force back to your hand.
Over time, you get to know that force and no longer are conscious of it.
When the force is different (you mistimed the release, or it slipped off your fingers before release, or you caught it extra strong) and unexpected your attention is drawn to the forces.
Again, over time, you recognize the differences, and the outcome they lead to.
So you're really not looking into the future, but into your stored knowledge of the past.
This is why when everything feels wrong, it's best to go back to the basics.
Yea basically. I mean sometimes u get lucky and it catches a little oil and holds or it gets to far out but I got more revs on it then usual and it will find a way back, but usually I know pretty quickly after I throw it where it's gonna go roughly
