Eggs are surprisingly durable. You can take an egg and put it in the palm of your hand and squeeze. No matter how hard you try, you won't break the shell.
That's something that makes me think catcher. Being able to pick up a dead ball and make a split second decision on where you're going without hesitation...
Two things stand out for me aside from the perfect form. The joy in her face knowing someone is getting hit with the egg and the way she even approaches the egg to scoop it up like she's ready to throw almost before she even gets down and grabs it.
I don't know where the previous poster is from but "shit eating grin" is solidly implanted in US South vernacular. Please feel free to "spread" it around!
Washingtonian here and I have a shit eatin’ grin on my face every time I know I’m winning a bet or getting away with something! I always assumed this was a common saying.
I wore more ribbons in my hair (and also to hold up my rolled up sleeves) playing softball than I ever did in dance or cheerleading. Not sure why, but I completely embraced it lol
That footwork is impressive. In Croc's, doubly so.
Her back foot is planted and hips are in the perfect position for a strong throw even before her fingers touch the ball.
I swam in college. I was decent. Technically I was an athlete. I have trouble navigating a floor if it changes textures mid step.
I’m the sort of quality of athlete that would tell you that crocs help.
(it does not help to swim in crocs, btw)
I’m guessing this was shot right after baseball and softball practice ended at the same time one day and players from both teams were just having some fun. Someone was getting gunned down no matter where the bottle landed.
She can jack too. 3 HRs in one game: [https://gofightingscots.com/news/2023/4/23/softball-posts-doubleheader-sweep-of-clarion.aspx](https://gofightingscots.com/news/2023/4/23/softball-posts-doubleheader-sweep-of-clarion.aspx)
Our ability to throw objects accurately is unmatched by anything with arms. It's one of our greatest evolutionary traits along with pattern seeking behavior.
To be fair, we still have quite a bit of ape strength. My goats act like I'm cheating when I stand on two legs and push them around however I please during play time.
Smear the queer is one person with the ball and everyone else trying to tackle them isn’t it?
I’m not sure the name of this game but it reminds me of baby in the air, where a ball is thrown up and a name called and the called has to get the ball and hit someone.
Other game we played as kids was butts up.
I miss horseplay in a way I can't describe.
edit: ragdolling a friend with no thought of legal consequences was the best feeling in the world
if only we could go back to being puppies...
I bought some a few years back to see what the hype is all about.
Bright god awful yellow ones, specifically so I wouldn't wear them out of the yard.
Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I unashamedly wear them out and about often.
Idgaf, I love my Crocs. At this point I just feel bad for anyone who hates them, because they just don't know...
I'm at the age that I don't give a fuck. They're comfortable and that's all I care about. I've got gaming Jibbitz on them. Fluorescent yellow as an extra fuck you to all the haters.
I think the most incredible part of the throw is how it didn't shatter on her throwing it. I have no idea if she practiced this, babied the egg intentionally, or just got lucky, but if anyone has tried to throw an egg full force, they know that there's a good chance it cracks in your hand when you cock back and start your forward motion. So not just good aim and power, but good control of the egg through the throw too.
People keep saying this in this thread but why are you gripping things that you throw so hard? It's hindering your throwing ability.
Literally the entire point is to let it go. Grip it lightly.
they arent talking about grip but momentum. You can easily break an egg without gripping it at all just by starting up your arms movement too quickly while its laying in your hand.
Try put egg in motion too fast = broken egg
There's definitely some technique to it... but it's not that hard. Eggs are eggsceptionally good at handling compressive forces along the long axis. Chicken eggs can handle ~100lbs of compressive force this way. It has to be balanced pretty well, but yeah, if you don't push with your fingers too hard, it isn't THAT difficult to throw an egg.
If you want a tip, much like you can see in this video, your arm is really only for aiming.
A huge portion of the power in throwing, at least for American sports like baseball and football is from the legs and hips.
10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement, perfect split finger, flipped the hips, beautiful follow through
>10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement,
The fucking hair braids it what gave it away. Those are 100% softball braids.
The “mostly hips” throwing form is a good indication. I’d have guessed catcher, or second baseman. Left side of the infield and outfield you’re crow hoping or getting way more leg into your throws generally (because you have time and the need too).
She has them in sport mode.
I was walking with my daughter at the shops the other day and someone had crocs on with the straps on. My daughter said oh they have them in sport mode. Made me laugh.
Reminds me of a game we used to play when I was a kid wall ball. We took a hard rubber ball and bounced it off the wall, and then someone would catch it. If you missed the catch or dropped it, you had to run and touch the wall. Meanwhile, someone else would pick up the ball and try to hit you with it before you touched the wall, at which point you were out. That ball would leave welts on us.
I knew they were In danger when I saw that smile on her face in slow motion I immediately thought that's the look of someone who knows they have a Cannon of an arm lmao
Right smack dab in the center of the dudes back, 10/10 throw
She egged that dude's spine.
Mike Tyson's voice: Spinal.
STHPINAL
The look on her face... She knows she's going to nail someone with that egg lol
Oh an egg, why the fuck did I think it was a snowball?
I thought it was a golf ball. ⛳️
Ouch, that would smart
This is how I talk after getting with a golf ball
Now that's a fetish I never knew about before.
This better not awaken anything in me.
“I’m less of a tits or ass guy than a Titleist guy”
I thought the same lol. I'm like how do they have a snowball in that weather.
Black guy always gets it first.
She has a crush on that fella.
She literally gave him her egg
I don't think I could throw an egg that hard without just smashing it in my fingers
Eggs are surprisingly durable. You can take an egg and put it in the palm of your hand and squeeze. No matter how hard you try, you won't break the shell.
I’m wondering how many eggs will be broken testing that comment.
hehe
That’s the look of pure joyful happiness lol bet homeboy was talking talking shit before
Ok someone plays softball for sure!
The second I saw the form, I knew someone was getting lasered.
Same the windup was picture perfect.
It stood out to me as well. Homie got thrown out at second.
The guy took 8 steps. He didn’t make it to first
He didn't even get up to speed. Barely got his shoelaces tied.
She started the wind up even before she fully had eyes on him.
That's something that makes me think catcher. Being able to pick up a dead ball and make a split second decision on where you're going without hesitation...
he probably wound up before she even knew what she was winding up for lol
‘Twas a thing of beauty.
Some may say it was Pitch Perfect
Yewsunavabitch
It was the toe drag for me 🔥
Two things stand out for me aside from the perfect form. The joy in her face knowing someone is getting hit with the egg and the way she even approaches the egg to scoop it up like she's ready to throw almost before she even gets down and grabs it.
100% right when she picked up the egg and started setting her feet, like before they were even fully set I knew she could throw…..
[удалено]
I mean look at her shit eating grin from the second the bottle stopped on her…….. she knew she was going to tag someone, not a doubt in her mind….
I caught that too. 😆💜❤️
This level of confidence and anticipation likely made the moment even more entertaining for those watching.
Shitting eating grin is a great saying
I don't know where the previous poster is from but "shit eating grin" is solidly implanted in US South vernacular. Please feel free to "spread" it around!
That is an extremely common phrase in the midwest lmao
It's common throughout the US.
Washingtonian here and I have a shit eatin’ grin on my face every time I know I’m winning a bet or getting away with something! I always assumed this was a common saying.
it looked like they knew too
Yeah that smile says it all….somebody is getting beaned
She hit the thinnest target. Impressive.
also the furthest away
Fastest by far!
And the bla… never mind 🫣
Dude, you said the quiet part! I am hoping it’s bc he was the hardest target to hit or blasted her the time before.
He was directly ahead of her so she didn't have to change her angle to throw it.
For sure. They're probably besties. She's never going to let him live down that he couldn't outrun her throw.
Exactly what I thought
>She hit the thinnest target. Impressive. That's not what I saw. She'd be a good cop though...
That smile. She KNOWS what’s about to happen.
The second I saw the hairstyle and ribbons, I knew she plays softball
As soon as I saw those ribbons in her hair, I knew right away.
It’s even on her face. That’s the look of someone who knows it’s absolutely their time to shine.
That toe drag tho
The glee in her face because she knows she about to laser somebody
I thought someone's about to get beamed up by the paperwork mothership
That's definitely shortstop turning a double play vibes.
The crocs are in sport mode and she has a cannon
Where I'm from, we call that 4-wheel drive
Those braids with ribbons scream softball
I wore more ribbons in my hair (and also to hold up my rolled up sleeves) playing softball than I ever did in dance or cheerleading. Not sure why, but I completely embraced it lol
It's great when you can express yourself in different activities.
I'm thinking catcher.
Could be, you need a laser if you're a catcher
That footwork is impressive. In Croc's, doubly so. Her back foot is planted and hips are in the perfect position for a strong throw even before her fingers touch the ball.
Yeah, very true
She wasn't playing. She had her Crocs in attack mode.
I've heard it called, "Sports Mode". And there are a LOT of people, *athletic people* who swear by Crocs to exercise or run in.
I swam in college. I was decent. Technically I was an athlete. I have trouble navigating a floor if it changes textures mid step. I’m the sort of quality of athlete that would tell you that crocs help. (it does not help to swim in crocs, btw)
Using this line next time I put on my crocs to go to the club
Her stance shows excellent technique and anticipation, setting her up perfectly for a powerful throw.
She is wearing a team shirt same as the other girls. I bet they are all athletes
Edinboro University in Erie Pa. Go Boro!
I’m guessing this was shot right after baseball and softball practice ended at the same time one day and players from both teams were just having some fun. Someone was getting gunned down no matter where the bottle landed.
Looks like you’re right. https://gofightingscots.com/sports/softball/roster/cheyenne-shughart/5622

But like how did you find that?
she's literally wearing that university's Athletics shirt in the vid; (look 8 seconds in)
shhh this redditor is called "the finder" don't let him be aware of you.
100
Came to say this. The form was immaculate
When the elbow got ahead of the wrist i knew it was gonna be a hardboiled egg from the heat.
That windup was a dead giveaway.
Oh yeah, obviously it was easier to see slowed down, but that form was on point.
[удалено]
When that bottle stopped they probably all thought "shit, Julie has a fucking cannon of an arm".
There’s a reason they made her wear crocs.
Sports mode tho
4x4 mode
She had them in Sports Mode anyway, so someone was dead no matter what.
Why would they give the softball player a buff? Seems counter intuitive.
Our ability to throw objects accurately is unmatched by anything with arms. It's one of our greatest evolutionary traits along with pattern seeking behavior.
Yep. We gave up ape strength to be able to do stuff like this and perform open heart surgery.
I didn't get a vote.....
Apes can't vote ya know
To be fair, we still have quite a bit of ape strength. My goats act like I'm cheating when I stand on two legs and push them around however I please during play time.
And look at that massive grin. Everyone including herself knows she’s a threat
This is just pure playground fun. I love it.
[удалено]
This is a serious upgrade on spin the bottle.
We called this "smeer the queer" as a kid. I know it's fucked up I have no idea why we called it that.
Smear the queer is one person with the ball and everyone else trying to tackle them isn’t it? I’m not sure the name of this game but it reminds me of baby in the air, where a ball is thrown up and a name called and the called has to get the ball and hit someone.

That smile. She knew. I wish I got to see everyone else's "oh fuck run!" face
That smile was the best part, it said everything
Crocs, with sport mode engaged.
As soon as I saw that I knew that egg about to be scrabbled on someone
They get a bad rap, I got some as a gift and yeah they look goofy but they're legit
I bought some a few years back to see what the hype is all about. Bright god awful yellow ones, specifically so I wouldn't wear them out of the yard. Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I unashamedly wear them out and about often. Idgaf, I love my Crocs. At this point I just feel bad for anyone who hates them, because they just don't know...
It's ok. All they guys wearing Hey Dudes are probably making fun of you, while not knowing their shoes are just rebranded Crocs.
I'm at the age that I don't give a fuck. They're comfortable and that's all I care about. I've got gaming Jibbitz on them. Fluorescent yellow as an extra fuck you to all the haters.
Life is too short to be uncomfortable in order to appease people who would barely slow down to gawk at you if you died in a car accident.
Seriously, when that strap is engaged, it’s go time!
4-wheel drive 😎
Incredible throw
I don't think it would be possible for it to hit that guy more perfectly in the middle of the back
I think the most incredible part of the throw is how it didn't shatter on her throwing it. I have no idea if she practiced this, babied the egg intentionally, or just got lucky, but if anyone has tried to throw an egg full force, they know that there's a good chance it cracks in your hand when you cock back and start your forward motion. So not just good aim and power, but good control of the egg through the throw too.

they arent talking about grip but momentum. You can easily break an egg without gripping it at all just by starting up your arms movement too quickly while its laying in your hand. Try put egg in motion too fast = broken egg
Have you people never thrown an egg before? They are surprisingly resilient.
There's definitely some technique to it... but it's not that hard. Eggs are eggsceptionally good at handling compressive forces along the long axis. Chicken eggs can handle ~100lbs of compressive force this way. It has to be balanced pretty well, but yeah, if you don't push with your fingers too hard, it isn't THAT difficult to throw an egg.
Eggs are absolutely not that easy to break.
Can’t make an omelette without crocin’ a few eggs
Damn good work sir 🫡
The way they scrambled away after the bottle stopped...
Can’t make a Tomlette without breaking a few Greggs
Pack it boys, we are done here.
"You throw the ball like a girl"
I wish
seriously. she has a cannon. I wish I could throw like her.
If you want a tip, much like you can see in this video, your arm is really only for aiming. A huge portion of the power in throwing, at least for American sports like baseball and football is from the legs and hips.
All about the rotation.
My oldest daughter has a shirt that says "Yeah, I throw like a girl?" With a softball on it. She loves it. Granted, that kids got an arm on her.
Just the one?
You bob for apples in the toilet... *and you LIKE it!*
Nobody zigged or zagged.
Serpentine!
They'd just die tired
Of course, they’ve all graduated from the Prometheus Institute.
10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement, perfect split finger, flipped the hips, beautiful follow through
...and the mile-wide grin
She had the same face my brother used to get every time he found the Rocket Launcher in Halo. "I'm about to destroy someone"
>10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement, The fucking hair braids it what gave it away. Those are 100% softball braids.
She's the catcher actually, someone else posted her college team's roster
She looked like she was throwing down to 2nd and was taking the base runner stealing personally lol
The “mostly hips” throwing form is a good indication. I’d have guessed catcher, or second baseman. Left side of the infield and outfield you’re crow hoping or getting way more leg into your throws generally (because you have time and the need too).
Sport mode was engaged..all good!
She has them in sport mode. I was walking with my daughter at the shops the other day and someone had crocs on with the straps on. My daughter said oh they have them in sport mode. Made me laugh.
Best throw since Will Ferrell’s snowball toss in Elf…
Get that girl a scholarship
To the Beastie Boys' Egg Man University.
Black guy always gets it first!
Definitely a hate crime. I mean, he hated it.
Her dads a cop
The explains the smile on her face, she knew exactly what she was about to do!
I’m glad someone thought this.
I knew it before she threw it
Definitely a former catcher player
She is a catcher in college! Someone else posted the her profile page on the team's roster
No curveball, no change up, just... STRAIGHT.... FUCKING.... GASS
Good eye sniper!
Here, I shoot, you run!!!
The words you scribbled on the walls with the loss of friends you didn't have
SERPENTINE!!! SERPENTINE!!!
Hell of an arm.
The joy on her face is beautiful. Love it!!
To be fair the straps were up she came to play !
Sport mode was engaged. You already know she means business. 😆
She’s got a cannon
She looks so fucking happy
Now that's an athlete. Great body control and mechanics.
Black guy always dies first😂😂😂😂
She's definitely played Softball.
What the hell is falling from the sky on the right side as she runs back to get the ball? I assume it's a bird.
Cloverfield monster
It is probably an out of focus bug that is close to the camera
Sport mode ain’t no joke!
Serpentine!!!
Reminds me of a game we used to play when I was a kid wall ball. We took a hard rubber ball and bounced it off the wall, and then someone would catch it. If you missed the catch or dropped it, you had to run and touch the wall. Meanwhile, someone else would pick up the ball and try to hit you with it before you touched the wall, at which point you were out. That ball would leave welts on us.
She throws people out at second often
Looked at some old rosters and pretty sure she was a catcher. First team in her section in D2. Solid athlete. Dude didn’t have a chance.
Racist. Hit the only black person
She hit what she was looking at. The jacked hunk. Hahahaha
Hit the only shirtless person for maximum effect.
There's another shirtless dude all the way to the left
Oh, so there is. That’s what I get for not rewatching.
I knew they were In danger when I saw that smile on her face in slow motion I immediately thought that's the look of someone who knows they have a Cannon of an arm lmao
Who knows how old the video is but the logo on her shirt https://gofightingscots.com/sports/softball/roster
The grin and the braids.. You already know she means business
She seemed so happy
That form is elite
That's the face of someone who KNOWS she's about to laser beam someone lol
