2. Types of throw-in: throw-in from left to right, throw-in from front to back, throw-in from behind, etc. The basic action of throwing requires throwing the ball along the tangent direction of the arc, and it is not allowed to pick up the ball; Take the initiative to catch the ball. When the ball enters the racket, it should be quietly pulled in time for arc guidance.

Taiji softball technique 1, welcome: welcome is the premise. Observe and judge in advance when the ball comes, and the person who uses the racket will face the direction of the coming ball and reach forward at an angle tangent to the ball.

2.Na: Na is the foundation. Na is the tangent angle between the racket and the ball, and the ball will be tightly merged into the racket face in the future. It is the beginning of ball inertia buffer control and the beginning stage of arc induction.

3. citation: citation is the core. Swing with the shoulder as the axis, the racket should move on the arc, take the edge of the racket frame as the guide, and carry out arc induction with the ball. There are changes in speed, strength and direction, as well as changes from defending to attacking.

4. throw: throwing is the result. Throwing is the ball-out stage of arc induction process. The racket runs along the tangent direction of the induced arc and throws it with the trend. "Lead" and "throw" are closely linked, in one go. When throwing the ball, the frame of the racket should face the direction of the ball.

How to practice softball

1, control racket and soft ball.

(1) grip method: master the correct grip method, relax the wrist during the swing of the soft ball racket, make good use of the wrist retraction and wrist lifting movements, and pay attention to the twisting of fingers when retaking, so that the racket can move freely in the hand.

(2) Grasp the relationship between the racket and the ball: make rational use of centripetal force and centrifugal force to keep the dynamic balance of centrifugal force and centripetal force in the racket, so that the racket always moves around the ball, that is, the racket follows the ball and the ball sticks to the racket, and the racket never leaves.

2, do a good job in the coordination of upper and lower limbs

The basic exercises of upper and lower limbs are mainly lunge and standing posture. Pay attention to changing lunge and standing posture in time, and make good use of foot movements when doing various movements such as rotation, rotation, forward and backward.

3. Use the strength of the waist and legs.

This is mainly to control the center of gravity of the body, so that the torsion of the waist and the pedaling of the feet should be coordinated, so that the upper body can stand upright and unyielding.

4. Control trajectory

All motions of the soft ball are arc motions, and its trajectory is circular or arc. Therefore, we should fix the center of the circle and keep the radius unchanged when doing the action, so that the big circle is connected with the small circle, the round circle is connected, and the arc is connected; Don't stop your arms, hands and legs; A center, a radius, an arc, a force.
