    Making Progress

    We worked some this past week. Here she is with a stride. This is about 10 swings in with a stride. You can swing her now, how she separates just before she steps back then forward again. If nothing else i thought it would help her understand weight transfer...

    Making Progress

    Guys, "locked" is the wrong term. The issue I was having with her was that she was launching the barrel right from go and it was causing her to pull everything and alot of times run out of plate coverage on the outside pitch. So we are trying to keep everything in. Not let the hands get out...

    Please elaborate! These are just my terms to help my daughter understand what we are trying accomplish.

    Making Progress

    Here is my DD. 15 yo. Barely 5' tall. Natural Lefty, slaps and drag bunts. She doesn't have a stride but does load early. Video starts at loaded position. I saw the other thread talking about the wrists. She was having a little trouble with what I called locked and unlocked. Keeping the wrists...

    So I guess for HS ball...

    I guess we are lucky.... All the local high schools have a number of TB players that play on the HS team, which makes the games fun and competitive. The varsity team has 5 girls from the top local TB teams and a number of girls from other competitive TB teams. Our #1 pitcher has already...

    College Coaches Skills Camp

    Have any of you attended one of their camps? They have camps all over the country and I am sure results vary place to place but was wondering about the camp overall. A little pricey but considering the amount of actual practice time, price per hour isn't bad. This might be my DD's first camp. I...

    Indoor Softballs

    What "safety" softballs do you guys like the best for indoor workouts? We are going to have some school gym space this winter but they want us to use a softer ball. I have used the easton incrediball before. Is there something better out there? Something closer to the actual weight of a...

    Slap or hit away?

    We are experiencing this now with my DD. The better teams we face see her and immediately choke her off, expecting a slap or bunt so we hit away. A sharp hit grounder will get through with the defense in so much. Lesser teams play her straight up and she gets on with the drag bunt. The important...

    shortstop body type

    I worry about my DD being judged on size all the time but I think it puts a chip on her shoulder. She is almost 15, 4'-11" and about 105 lbs but well built, quick and a natural lefty. But... alot of the girls she plays against are 5-6"-6'-0" 150 lbs. I feel the coach only wants power but she...

    Ok but could be better

    thanks for the input. We have done the drill where she holds a beach ball between her elbows and goes to contact. Any other drills to help to eliminate "swinging around her body"?

    Ok but could be better

    Guys, thanks for all the input. This is kind of a partial swing for her. She is already loaded in the gif .We were working on not dropping the hands (hence the bat on the deltoid) and getting a little coiled, like what it feels like just before go time. In live pitching, she doesn't stride when...

    Ok but could be better

    She does slap and drag bunts with a crossover step.

    Ok but could be better

    Hi, Below is a video of my DD. She's a solid lead off hitter for her team. Everything she hits is oppo. We do work alot of deep tee and she waits till the ball is on her before she goes but she couldnt pull the ball if she needs to, needless to say she struggles with inside pitches. Being...

    that's the first thing I noticed. Something new to work on!

    Tell me what you see...

    ugh. Sorry for the double post. I was making sure you weren't offended. thanks

    Tell me what you see...

    Not saying he wasn't. I can only hope she can hit like Charlie

    Tell me what you see...

    haha. She is a singles-hitter...

    Tell me what you see...

    Thanks FiveFrame. This is the type of input I was looking for. As I mentioned before I look at her so much, I needed new eyes and some honest input. She is exaggerating the squat some. she doesn't do that in game swing although we were talking about balance and some tilt so.... in her head...
