Back to All Pitch Types

4S Breaking Ball

This is traditional Fourseam Breaking Ball Orientation. Align your Seam Stamp across the horseshoe of the ball to draw a circle. We suggest drawing a circle on each side of the ball to give visual feedback to you and your catch play partner! This orientation is effective for cutters, gyro sliders, and curveballs. 4S orientation on a breaking ball will Add Depth and Reduce Horizontal Movement.

Four Seam

2S Slurve

This is traditional Twoseam Slider Orientation. Align your Seam Stamp between the seams of the ball to draw a circle. We suggest drawing a circle on each side of the ball to give visual feedback to you and your catch play partner! Two seam Orientation will Add Sweep and Reduce Depth.

Two Seam

1S Sweeper

This is traditional One Seam Sweeper Orientation. Align your Seam Stamp along the one seam and draw a circle. We suggest drawing a circle on each side of the ball to give visual feedback to you and your catch play partner! One seam Orientation will Add More Sweep and Reduce More Depth than Two Seam Orientation.
