## Caption

The arm did not leave. The legs stopped being invited.

A crow hop puts the whole body behind the ball, so the shoulder is finishing a throw instead of starting one. Throwing flat footed hands the entire job to a single joint, and the ball dies twenty feet short of the cut.

This is not about looking like a pro. It is the cheapest distance available, and it costs nothing: two steps, taken while the ball is still in the air. Most of what feels like a lost arm is actually a base that stopped being used, and that comes back the same afternoon.

The load is the part worth taking seriously. A flat footed throw hands everything to one joint, over a whole season, and that joint is the one nobody gets a spare of.

Try the two steps this Sunday. Did the ball carry? Tell us below.
