I'm back again! Location for screw ball
Hey, y'all. Gotta question. Had two different PCs for a while because one was out with her baby. PC1 taught me to step outside and screw the ball in like normal (firm elbow, door knob spin). PC2 taught the screw ball location as follows: leap on inside of power line and screw the ball like...- peachyvolgirl

Opinions about leg slap
I've got a kid that has started slapping her leg on her release. I did this myself for years. PC tried to change it but ironically not doing it slowed my velocity down. Plus, it was just stuck. I've read where the slap tips hitters and others say it's not that big of an issue. Opinions? Sent...- peachyvolgirl

Trying to learn IR - how far do I have to go?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=APrL-ES6WWg Excuse the poor quality of video and ragged field, but I'm trying to convert so I can better teach my young kids. I went to the local field here at home and as you can see, it's not well kept.Please, be gentle on me! Any tips on where to start? I've...- peachyvolgirl

Misc. stuff from IR thread
I'm starting to make my way through this sticky. I threw a turnover drop back in the day using HE style. It was always 5-7 mph faster than any of my other pitches. Looking at the videos here, my spin was very much like what I presume to be an IR fastball. Think this could explain why my drop was...- peachyvolgirl

I feel like an idiot
I stumbled across this forum not too long ago and since then, I've been hooked. I like to talk softball and pick other people's brains. When I started seeing things like IR right handed pitcher, I'll tell you I had to Google "IR pitching." Those results led me here to the pitching topics, and I...- peachyvolgirl

Advice on first step for OFs
Hey again, guys. I'll make this short and sweet. Anybody have any advice for teaching the right first step for OFs? Or perhaps better put, how to get the best jump on a ball? We're talking varsity girls. They know the drop step and all that jazz, but I've just come to realize how outdated "first...- peachyvolgirl

Will this drill work without resistance?
Came across this gem of an agility drill last night. Think it will be effective nonetheless without the resistance? We don't have any shackles or resistance bands as our funds are limited. Really like the timed tennis ball grab. My DH doesn't seem to think it will be worth doing without the...- peachyvolgirl

Clockwork diving drill!?
Hi, guys! Hoping y'all can help me out here. I pitched in college and during my bullpen sessions, I saw our infield working what our coach called a clockwork diving drill. Problem is I can't seem to find it online anywhere. From what I remember seeing, all the girls starting at a certain...- peachyvolgirl

Just took on a new coaching job. Help!
So I've been playing fastpitch since I was 8. I'm 22 now. From the time I was 10, all I've done was pitch. Living in a rural town on the east coast, I played high school ball at a 2A school. For those of you who don't know what that is, here's an explanation: Public schools here play by school...- peachyvolgirl
