How to Throw Different Pitches in Wii Sports

"Wii Sports" is a collection of five sports games for the Nintendo Wii. It includes bowling, golf, tennis, boxing and baseball. In baseball, you can throw a number of different pitches, including fastballs, change-ups, curveballs, screwballs and splitters. You can even pitch the ball submarine-style. Mastering the pitching mechanics of "Wii Sports" will help you win games against both the computer and human opponents.

Instructions

Types of Pitches
- 1
  To throw a fastball, flick your wrist forward with a short, snapping motion. An elaborate wind-up and followthrough---while fun---will not help you throw any faster. The trick is in the wrist snap, which will "trick" the Wii sensor into believing you have moved your arm quickly.
- 2
  To throw a change-up, use the same method as throwing a fastball---except don't flick your wrist as hard. It's good to alternate between fastballs and change-ups to keep your opponent off balance.
- 3
  To throw a screwball, flick the Wii-mote forward while holding down the 'A' button. The ball will curve to the right.
- 4
  To throw a curveball, flick the Wii-mote forward while holding down the 'B' button. The ball will curve to the left.
- 5
  To throw a splitter, flick the Wii-mote forward while holding both the 'A' and the 'B' buttons. The pitch will resemble a change-up, except it will drop and hit the ground at the last moment. If the batter does not swing, this will always be called a ball.
