How do you throw breaking pitches with a blitzball?

Question

i'm trying to throw curves and sliders but the ball does not curve or break. does it take a while for the ball to get broken in or used to? tips on pitches would be great

Answer 1

Maybe try scuffing it up a bit to help. Just expiriment with grips you would use on a normal baseball. Or you could do a google search on it to and see what happens.

Answer 2

That is a really cool toy! I just got 4 for my birthday! I have noticed with these, is in order to get the most movement, you can't throw how you would a regular baseball or tennis ball or whatever. It does not need to be rubbed down or anything along the lines of that. I will tell you how to throw some SICK pitches.

Screwball/Sinker: All I do to throw this pitch is get the fastball grip and throw it sidearm. It moves to the right and has some crazy sinking action to it.

Slider: I grip it as a knucklecurve grip. Your middle finger should be out like a curveball and your pointer finger resting like a knuckleball grip, and the rest on the sides. Reach back, and throw it sidearm and flick your wrists. Mine curves about 7 feet!

Fastball: Grip it like a regular fastball and throw it like a fastball. It will rise a bit or stay at the same height and curve right like a screwball.

Sinker: Get the ball wet and thhrow it like the screwball/sinker.

Curveballs: In order to throw the curveball that breaks, experiment with different grips and such to see how it curves best. In my experiences, everyone has a different way to throw it. I have had about 10 people try it, and all of the grips and ways to throw it are different.

Good luck! Be patient! These things are amazing when you master them!
