- What guarantee do I have your service works?

Video-conference-style follow-up is as personalized and thorough as face to face instruction. With this in mind, we offer an industry-leading, full money back guarantee to any Pitcher showing he uses the skills presented during his sessions and fails to see a consistent improvement in his results.

- How do I initiate my Professional Pitching Institute On-Line Pitching Consultation?

You enroll in the program most consistent with your pitching level and then use our easy-to-use Video Upload link to upload your pitching motion video.

Back

- What happens after I upload my video?

Within 48 hours, we e-mail you your "Pitching Chain" and the one adjustment guaranteed to improve your location the most in the shortest time. Next, we figure out a mutually convenient to meet for your video-conference-style, real-time Pitching Consultation.

Back

- How much does it cost?

Your cost varies depending upon your current pitching level and your pitching objective.  For more on this, please visit our Enrollment Page.

- What happens after you complete your On-Line Pitching Consultation?

The quickest way to include your new skill into your motion comes from practicing the your new movement in front of a full length mirror at least 25 times daily. We call these rehearsals your "Low Impact Exercises".  You do your "Low Impact Exercises" until you feel they're natural and comfortable.  At this point, you upload another video.

Back

- What happens during your On-Line Pitching Consultation?

We ask you to demonstrate the skills presented in your e-mail Pitching Consultation.  When needed, we model your skills and recommend variations.  You session ends when we see the critical reflex response expected in this stage of your instruction. Finally, we'll answer any questions you have.

Back

- What is my teaching cycle?

2 weeks of daily "Low Impact Exercises" effectively include your new skill into your motion.  Receiving a video at least every 2 weeks insures that no new or old disruptions creep back into your motion.

Back

- Is my information private?

We only share your information with your permission.

Back

- How can I find out more about the Professional Pitching Institute?

You can contact us with your questions. We'll answer any of your questions.  Should the situation require, we'll even meet for a FREE 5 minute On-Line Consultation. When done, you'll realize how passionate and committed we am about making you a world-class Pitcher no one can possibly ignore.

- Who from the Professional Pitching Institute will perform my On-Line Consultation?

"Skip" Fast, Institute President, performs all On-Line Consultations.

Back

- How do I schedule an On-Line Pitching Consultation?

Everything begins with your pitching motion video upload. Within 48 hours after your upload your motion, we e-mail you your "Pitching Chain" and the one adjustment guaranteed to improve your location the most in the shortest time. Any payment prompts us to contact you and work out a mutually convenient time for your video-conference-style consultation.

Back

- When do you perform Video-Conference-Style Follow-up?

We do On-Line Consultations at mutually convenient times based upon East Coast time. To find the time difference between Philadelphia and your location, click here.

Back

- How do I take part in an On-Line Video Consultation?

A free SKYPE download allows you to stream live video and audio directly from your computer to our computer. Video-Conference-Style Follow-up is as personalized and thorough as face to face instruction. To download Skype, click here.

Back

- How much time to I put aside for my On-Line Video Consultation?

Typically, we  only need 10 minutes to make sure we see whether, as you perform you new skill, you produce the expected "reflex actions".  Only when I'm forced to present a skill in another way does your session run longer.

- How do you calculate my Virtual Consultation time?

From experience, each session tends to contain 5 minutes of small talk. In fairness to you, we always reduce your time balance by the time appearing on Skype less 5 minutes. 

Back

- How do I attend my Skype video consultation?

5 minutes before your scheduled On-Line Consultation, you  activate your Skype software. We'll call you. You select the "Start Our Video" button to begin your session. See http://www.skype.com/help/guides/howtoskype_video

- Where does instruction take place?

Summer: We use the FDR baseball fields conveniently located just 3 long blocks from Citizen Bank Park for individual instruction.

Winter: We move to the indoor pitching tunnels located at 368 Berlin-Cross Keys Road, Sicklerville, NJ. The tunnels are less than 2 miles off Exit 41 on the Atlantic City Expressway.

Back

- When does In-Person instruction take place?

We make myself available on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings for In-Person semi-private instruction.

In the event these times fail to fit into your schedule, contact me.

Back

- Why is all your In-Person instruction semi-private?

We teach Pitchers how to execute their motions to produce unsurpassed results beginning with their first pitch.  Semi-private instruction produces Pitchers who do just that.

Also, semi-private instruction keeps your cost lower and produces better results than a 1/2 hour of private instruction.
