TESTIMONIALS

Jonathon is one of the most invested teachers I have ever seen. My daughter has been with him for the past 6 years. His compassion and investment in not only her, but also every kid he sees is unmatched. Jonathan understands that not all kids are built the same and is able to find their strengths and weaknesses and build them into the best pitcher they can be. He is proactive in staying ahead in his art, always researching and making connections with others in the field to in order to develop his students into elite pitchers. His background in aeronautical engineering allows him to talk with his students about what they need to do with their bodies to make a pitch perform.

We attended a Tincher pitching summit a few years ago and an instructor stated whoever wanted to learn how to throw a rise ball to see Jonathan. Over half the students there went to him. Shows that his reputation precedes him!

Jonathan takes the time to get to know and understand each of his students. He works on the whole athlete both physically and mentally. I would challenge anyone to find a better person or instructor in the country.

At a very young age, our daughter was diagnosed with Congenital radioulnar synostosis, a rare condition where the radius and ulna are fused together below the elbow, in both arms. In layman’s terms, she cannot do the palms up motion and has some restricted wrist motion. The pitching technique we knew would’ve been hard, or as we were told by many pitching instructors, not possible. But she wanted to pitch, and we weren’t going to let anything hold her back, and neither was she. After a couple failed attempts in finding a pitching instructor that would see past her diagnosis, we were introduced to the Tincher pitching technique. EVERY single motion, technique and idea was a perfect fit for our daughter. We couldn’t believe it but knew we had to start. We began lessons in August of 2019 and have saw tremendous progress each lesson. April has believed in our daughter, instilling confidence in her ability to overcome and push through. She immediately contacted other instructors and an occupational therapist to gather information on the diagnosis so she could offer the best instruction to our daughter. She has been supportive and encouraging but challenges our daughter to strive harder and want more. We are excited to see what the future holds for our daughter on the mound paired with Tincher pitching.

I’ve been working with Denny since I was about 13 years old. He has always been there for me through the ups and downs of my career and has always led me back to good mechanics! Now that I’m out on my own as a professional, Denny has helped me back on the path of reaching my highest potential while prioritizing optimal and healthy mechanics. I still love working on new pitches and things with him every time I see him! I feel like this is only just the beginning, I can’t wait to see where I can end up with him helping me! I am so thankful for all the years and time he’s spent with me.

A year ago, our daughter’s pitching coach relocated and we were in need of a new instructor. I had always been interested in Tincher Pitching “Fluid Dynamics” but most instructors were several hours away. I found out that Abby Tincher Davis had moved closer to us and we were thrilled for the opportunity. Denny and Abby both went above and beyond to answer questions by email and phone as we decided to make the transition. While there were some bumps in the road in the beginning, after a few months and a clinic with Denny, our daughter was all in on Tincher Pitching. One big difference was finally understanding why she was doing certain movements and not just being told and shown what to do. Now a year later we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Her velocity, accuracy and movement all increased while her pitch is so smooth and looks effortless. We have always used the phrase with our daughter “dream one size too big” but with Abby and Denny they take her big dream then develop a plan to push her past her goals. I highly recommend Tincher Fluid Dynamics and would recommend going to a clinic to see the difference for yourself.

My daughter started taking lessons with Denny at 8 years old. She has never been to any other pitching instructor. Working with Denny is the best softball decision that we made. He taught her the proper mechanics at a very young age and connected us with a qualified strength trainer who understands pitching. Denny gave her confidence to dream big and to ignore anyone who doubted her. Everything taught by Denny is research based and proven. Every drill he can explain why and teach how it should feel. He has turned pitching into a science. My daughter had offers from top ranked schools from all parts of the country and recently has accepted her dream offer from her dream school in the SEC. We couldn’t have done it without Denny and Tincher pitching.

Tincher Pitching has done wonders for our daughter. Understanding the mechanics of pitching has enabled her to be able to self-correct, pitch pain free, gain confidence, and be able to get the most out of her abilities. Our daughter is not the biggest kid, but Tincher Pitching has helped her to maximize her athletic and mental potential. Tincher Pitching’s customized and personalized approach is what makes them rise above every other instructor she’s seen. Through the help of Denny, we were able to secure multiple D1 offers and our daughter will be able to continue her love of the game and get a top-notch education through softball.

My wife and I are forever thankful to Tincher Pitching for always believing in our daughter. Somehow, you were always able to find the patience needed to get positive results out of every lesson. My daughter was having back issues along with some bad pitching mechanics when we found Jonathan 5 years ago. Since then she has pitched on the USA Jr Olympic Team in Columbia while playing her part in winning a PGF National Championship the same year. Jonathan has been instrumental in eliminating all excessive movement while always focused 100% on proper mechanics and pitching injury free. Danielle verbally committed during her Freshman year of HS and we look forward to her pitching in the ACC at University of Pittsburgh.

My Granddaughter had a back injury last year and her softball coach recommended that she consult April Damron Charles about the Tincher Pitching method. She began lessons in March 2020 and immediately noticed that, not only was her back pain diminished, but her pitching arm did not require taping before games to reduce elbow and shoulder pain. The transition to a new way of pitching has presented some struggles, but her speed has increased, and her placement is consistently accurate. Our family is so pleased with her progress. We definitely recommend the Tincher Pitching Method to any pitcher looking to increase speed, accuracy, and reduce pitching stress on muscles and back.

My daughter has been taking lessons from her Tincher coach for over three years now. It's amazing how many comments she gets from teammates and other coaches on the efficiency of her motion. Tincher has really delivered on the promise of teaching her effective, fluid mechanics, tailored to the female athlete. I also can't say enough good things about her coach, Laura, and how committed she is to the success of her pitchers. It's truly a partnership between coach and pitcher!

Our 11 year old daughter has been working with Angie Buckem for over a year and she has made tremendous progress in her pitching, self confidence and overall athleticism. We love the constant innovation that Angie and the Tincher Pitching system brings to help evolve her pitching. As this is not a one size fits all approach, Angie delivers customized instruction that builds upon our daughter's strengths and improves upon her areas for development. We particularly like how Angie explains the WHY and not just the HOW when it comes to pitching mechanics and how she keeps the lessons fun and engaging.

I have been with Tincher for two years. I love the technique and everything about Tincher. I have felt so loose and I have picked up so much speed. I have developed some amazing pitches. I now can control what my body does and I am always aware of everything i’m doing. Thank you Tincher Pitching.

Our daughter went in with no experience, but a drive for excellence. Tincher Pitching quickly turned her passion into a reality. It has provided her with the mechanism, velocity, skills, and confidence needed to tackle any game.
