    IR vs "Non"

    To me this is the perfect quote. My daughter has been taught bad mechanics, in between mechanics where they teach the right placement of the ball around the circle but still teach palm facing catcher at the end, and she has been taught correct mechanics. I would say that the biggest jump I saw...

    When did you know 2.0

    12U here, I gear up during lessons, because who the heck knows where the ball is going to go half the time. There is tough and stupid and after losing two toe nails and a couple deep shin bruises and many close calls to places that give me bad dreams, I was being stupid.

    When did you know?

    Appreciate all the replies. Gives me something to think about. Interesting that most of the replies about when you know she was using correct technique was about performance not about how she corrected this or that. I think I get into the weeds too much and from a lot of these responses it...

    When did you know?

    I'm betting that most people reading that title know exactly what I'm talking about, but interpret two ways; 1. When did you know that your daughter had it or at least was getting there. The other interpretation; 2. When did you know it was over. I'm betting that most in the second...

    Not making good contact

    Daughter is making contact, but nothing that can get through the infield. She is currently sitting at 2 for the last 20, but only 3 strike outs. Below is a posted video, however, this was a nice line drive to the third baseman and would have probably been a hit if not right to her. I'm...

    Little help with overall form

    Thank you for the reply. Is this just a matter of exercising the core to have her get the feel of it or are there specific drills that she needs to do. We did concentrate on her leaping last winter and it is much improved. I think she almost leaps too much.

    Little help with overall form

    Thank you for the responses. This is why I like several opinions. Just me looking at her it looks like one thing and it's hard to get that out my head so I keep concentrating on it. Also, describing it to her as a box is a great tip and one I think she will pick up faster than me just telling...

    Little help with overall form

    http://www.hudl.com/technique/video/view/TGJit4Ku?e=3072029 Hoping to recieve some feedback on what 11yr old daughter needs to work on. What I'm seeing is a front side resistance issue where she is falling over her front leg. Seems as if she is closing her body in before releasing the ball...

    4 weeks later WOW

    Appreciate it. Have not applied the inflatable ball routine yet and now will incorporate it. Have done the knee drill three times a week for about a month and we have seen the difference. It's difficult to pitch distance when indoors, but we have lessons and every other week I rent a lane...

    4 weeks later WOW

    Can you share some of the drills you used and what age is your daughter? We are going through the same thing. My daughter actually grew and it decreased her speed for about 2 weeks. Now we are back to where we were and wanting to concentrate on I/R specific routines.

    Weak bottom hand

    In the post with the gif, what is the difference between the two stances? What is each one trying to accomplish?

    Weak bottom hand

    Thanks. I will get a video, I have some but they are taken from so far away that it is difficult to tell what the arms are doing. One thing i do notice is that her finish is around her waist instead of her arms extending out from her body, but you're right a video would be better.

    Weak bottom hand

    Thank you this was helpful. I like the drill. I have had her instructors tell her to do this drill, but one instructor did not think it was an issue and one told me that she needs to do one arm swings, front ends? About a 100 a week.

    Weak bottom hand

    My 10 year old has a very weak bottom arm. Not sure if this is causing her hitting issues or not. Essentially she is making contact every time, but the ball is always a grounder and mostly weak. She does get occasional hits to the outfield but when that happens it is like the ball is...
