    Rachel Garcia - Analysis of Right Leg AFTER Push off - Leg Adduction

    thanks for this thread. DD worked on keeping that stride leg LOW like how Rachel G does it. DD's stride leg used to go hip-high and mess up her timing. DD pivot leg (righthy) still has the tendency to drag like an anchor, but we're getting to that as well. DD in today's practice just by...

    Timing issues

    how far are they trying to stride out to? while there's nothing wrong with striding to 8' it's not always best for every pitcher. over striding can mess up the timing.

    Rachel Garcia - Analysis of Right Leg AFTER Push off - Leg Adduction

    it makes a LOT of sense! DD has been working on fixing her over-striding and leaving that stride leg up and dragging the drive/pivot leg. Rachel's very low stride leg height actually helps a lot with timing and hence much better landing/posture/ == better pitch.

    Gabbie Plain

    she's definitely a hopper. megan king called for IP because she was too fast to throw the next pitch? geeze

    what should be the desired/ideal weight distribution? front/back 90%-10%? or 100% front? i.e. back leg should be effectively 'weightless'.

    Coach wants DD to switch PCs

    Seriously? hilarious! My DD's first TB team had daddy ball too, but at least the HC didn't say anything close to this !

    How fast should the wind-up/delivery be?

    the arm needs to be correctly 'bent' (about 10 o'clock) at heel plant. not straight and locked out. with palm UP, the forearm gets loaded and ready to whip/brush. DD gets this feeling of something transferring from the upper arm to the forearm (blood rush?) when she does this right and yes...

    How fast should the wind-up/delivery be?

    Slow to Load At 12, explode. i like that cue. short and simple.

    How fast should the wind-up/delivery be?

    I've always told DD to have a strong leg drive out, but to relax the arm circle and accelerate only upon heel plant. whenever DD goes crazy with her arm circle, bad things happen. timing problems.

    Tell on a rise

    can you explain this a bit more? why move to the front? DD's team will be facing a known riseballer next week and they have not been successful in the past. TIA!

    Paige Parker - striding both sides?

    i was watching the OK vs Wichita game and took notice of Paige's stride to both sides. Java's notes indicate that it is beneficial to stride to the left (RHP) of your drive line/foot. stride left stride right both pitches seem to end on the outside (RH). can someone explain why this...

    as what yogi would say hasn't this comparison between KB and BB been discussed to death before? as what yogi would say, "It's like dejavu all over again".

    The Kaylee Carlson thread

    the commentators were talking about carlson's stride outside the box, but that quickly faded. maybe they were told to hush shus? are the UMPS told to not call IP's when it's at team's home field?

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    it should be interesting to see Florida's next few away games if IP's will get called. Auburn's pitcher striding outside of the pitching "box" hasn't been called for IP's yet. hmmm...

    Playing time

    way to go, D! for my DD, i'll leave that up to her if she wants to talk to the coach or not. at the very least, she is playing, just not pitching. oh, well. we'll see. good luck.

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    yep. all of a sudden, the umps see and CALLs the IP. i really wonder what triggered this. was it coach mike white's comment from last year? it should be interesting to see if this trend continues throughout the season.

    Playing time

    DD's a junior and experiencing a similar scenario. their HS team is blessed (or cursed) with several pitchers. This season, she's played 3B and outfield but has made it clear to coach that she WANTS to pitch. i kinda understood this when DD was a sophomore as the juniors and seniors take higher...
