Snow day=wii ball

[default]

If anybodyhas been lucky enough to have been able to snag a wii it might make todays canceled indoor games a bit more tolerable. Step right up, watch your daughter throw you a drop ball, and see what they go through every game. Makes me respect them even more after playing the wii. Anybody have one? The girls can throw windmill on this to. Makes for at least alittle training on days like this.

Yes I have a wii. It is simply amazing. Havent figured out how to throw underhand on it though. How do you do that?

I think allaboutfastpitch just means that you can pitch with your wii controller using a windmill motion, but the mii's don't actually throw underhand. Please correct me if I'm wrong...that would be really cool if the mii's could pitch underhand!

pigpens right. Just use the windmill motion. Still throws overhand. Although it is nice for the girls to get in "the extra work when theres 16'" of snow. It reacts to wrist angle also, which is a plus! Obiously I'm getting very bored with the white stuff. :-[

mine said she had to have Guitar Hero 3 & that it would be strength training for her fingers. ;D better that than tearing something up in her arm a month before HS ball starts.

My kids throw the ball across the plate and I can't hit the ball. I'm showing my age.

Uber, wow, that would be very embarrasing! I'll have to Google that & show her so I can get more playing time. I've got to beat the medium level.

nw - you just need to practice. If you go into the Wii training, there's a couple different baseball ones that will help you get better & you'll be beating them in no time.

You press either the "+" or "-" button when you are in the field to toggle underhand/overhand. Underhand is really like a submarine pitch, al la Kent Tekulvie <----- am I showing my age?
