Just got done watching Tricks of the Trade. I think Mr. Hillhouse just released the new gold standard for the technical aspect of pitching in general. I would say it is a must have for parents teaching their daughters without the use of a pitching coach and a good aid for those that do.This is...
This is my DD. She is 14.(98). She is a pretty good hitter despite the fact she seems to be doing so much wrong. I see her not loading her bat with her hands. I see her not using her hands(wrists) to swing the bat. I see her over rotating with her shoulders. Where would you start helping her to...
Ok,Iv'e just got to throw this out while this is still a hot topic. Is full IR safe for the younger ones? I have been told five or six times now on this forum and in person(2 different pc's) that full IR by a youngster is not safe. If this is so,then why?
Here is my soon to be 14 year old DD doing some tee work tonight before she pitched.Some things are over exaggerated ,I know,but my question is what does she lack in a solid sequence?

I would like to know why some pitchers glove arm swims toward first more than others? I have heard all kinds of drills to fix it, but why does it happen?

My 13 year old DD ask me an interesting question at the dinner table tonight.

My DD's bat has seen it's better days.Time to get a new one. Her old bat is a 33/23 she has swung it just over a year. She is 5'7" 140 lbs. plays 14 u. I think 33 is still a good length but what weight do you think she needs? She is a power hitter. Suggestions?

I have coached my DD's team the last 5 years(8u-12u) . As of july 31st ,I have retired. She has tried out and made a very good 14u team.
Other than practicing with my DD, what are my obligations to her , her team, the other parents of the team and the game of softball itself as a softball parent ?
Here is my DD swinging a bat during a game . She has done very well this year,but as of late, been struggling at the plate. Not striking out, but hitting most pitches to right field or foul off the right side. I can see her stepping out in the video . I can see some bat drag,when she makes...
My DD needs help, she is 12, she is a very high level pitcher for our area. She has devoted a lot of time practicing the last two years . We practiced hitting a lot more this winter as she started losing confedance in her bat last fall . She has already played one tour this year and hit better...
