PPL
Free mechanical breakdown

Send two angles.
Get a real breakdown.

A PPL coach breaks down your delivery on video, the same movement-first eye we use with our athletes, and tells you the one or two things to work on. Free, within 3 days. Five spots per location each week.

We ask for two angles because two cameras are what let us measure the delivery instead of only describing it. Film the same pitch from the side and from behind if you can, and if you only have one phone, film one pitch from each spot.

Before you upload

Film it like this.

Game footage is ideal. Bullpens work too, indoors or out, as long as it's close to game speed. Two clips per angle, slow motion preferred.
The same pitch from both angles is what we want most. If somebody can hold a second phone, start both recordings before the pitch and we can measure things one camera cannot see, like how far the hips separate from the shoulders. With one phone, film a few pitches from the side, move to the second spot, and film a few more. That still gets you a full breakdown.
