Bonus playing tips... view all the playing tips that appear in HowToPlay.com's "Essential Softball Mechanics"!!!

Softball coaches teach their catchers fielding bunts on the right side of the infield to face first base and keep the ball on the throwing side of the body (tips in the brochure). The throw gets off sooner because the catcher is already in a throwing position.

The catcher's shoulders are already facing the target and, do to the body position, the catcher can easily stride directly to first base for an accurate throw.

To demonstrate how concise and detailed, yet how easy-to-read "EFFECTIVE CATCHER MECHANICS" is for the user,  the actual text for "Throwing Runners Out," one of over 14 topics from this brochure, reads as follows:

"THROWING RUNNERS OUT
THROWING THE BALL
Arms - Glove hand to the right shoulder with the throwing arm extended past the ear. As the throw is made, keep the glove arm parallel to the ground... Shoulders - the left shoulder armed at the target... Wrist - snap the wrist as the ball is thrown. Feet - Depending upon the catcher's arm the footwork may vary.
Strong arms. Right Foot - plants perpendicular to the target... Body - rock back on the right foot while the arm prepare to throw the ball... Throwing Arm - throws the ball.
Average arms. Right Foot - steps forward 6 inches, foot plants perpendicular to the target... Hips - turn... Throwing Arm - pulls back... Left Foot - strides to the target... Movement - throws the ball. In general, the catcher pivots on the right foot, keep the shoulders closed, hips in line with the target, then takes a stride with the left foot to throw the ball..."
