The journey continues from this thread... https://www.discussfastpitch.com/threads/16yo-maddie.39705/
We have come to the point in Maddie's swing development where we aren't trying to add more peak power. Her current swing regularly drives balls 250'+ in practice, and has displayed that kind of power against good pitching. The current focus is continuing to improve her consistency for quality contact at all locations.
As I stated in the previous threads, I'm not necessarily looking for "help". I'm happy with her development, and the coaching she's currently getting (@Mike-Coach Q has been her hitting instructor for the last 3+ years). That said, I welcome input and comments about her swing, and things you're seeing - good or bad. As much as anything, this series of threads has been about documenting Maddie's progress, and hopefully it can help someone else in their own journey.
This fall starts Maddie's last time through the travel ball cycle. In a year from now, she will be wearing a college uniform*. It's been an amazing journey for our family.
A few swings from last night's session with Coach Mike...
