My guess from what your describing is she is drive leg dominant, but of course a vid would help. Is she coming off the plate by 3:00? What type of shape does the push leg make? Is it a "?" or more of a "\".
Boomers, how fast does she throw when she does a walk through?? If its 55 - 57 I would say keep doing stuff like long toss. If she is upper 50's she has stuff left in the tank and she is only getting a couple mph from her legs. I think Rick said you should get about 10% with a good drive off...
As a bucket dad how do I identify a good push from the pitching plate. Push knee direction?? Shape of drag leg line in the dirt ? compared to /. Laces to the catcher?? All cue's welcome.
Rick,
Gyro ball?? Can you clarify what you mean?? I do see that about half the time the 11-5 spin (LH IR fastball) comes out wobbly, for lack of a better term.
So maybe instead of bringing the finger in the same direction of the stripe its cutting under the ball??
Ok now back to that arm...
I started looking at the video for the clip I pulled from and I noticed the elbow is not pointing down, but going toward 3rd base (LH). So we are working on the 9 o'clock with emphasis on leading with elbow and getting the ball to lag.

It was from a drill. I looked at the video again and it looks like she is pushing the ball to make it spin the right way. Ive got video of full pitches in games and I see the same thing except I cant get behind her to do video during a game. She is coming back from a PARS injury and some of...
What would be the correct angle of the forearm on a typical IR "Fastball". I keep telling my DD she needs to be closer to her thigh and she should feel a brush.
Arm Angle
When it comes to walk through like this should the pitcher have the same back swing as they do regular pitching and how much of a speed difference should there be??
My DD was working the clinic helping the younger session. She told me she learned some new hitting drills. Anytime she can learn something new is a good camp IMO.
