He advocates palm down at 9 and then snap and straight up if that makes sense?

LEAVE YESTERDAY.

Odds are next to zero that he will not be receptive to the palm up at 9:00 approach. Simply find a pitching coach who teaches palm up (or at the very least out) at 9:00, but NOT palm down. He is a true blue HE pitching coach.

Do you hear the super hero music in the background? Supportive board to the rescue.

DD's PC is palm out (which we have worked to palm up). Palm down is not going to work. Show other PC's the pictures that were posted in this thread......if they understand it then you have a hit.

I hear you ..... the advice is a red flag that screams "Run, Don't Walk, to the Nearest Exit!"

FWIW - The term IR transcends DFP. May have become popular here but have heard many PC and pitchers use the term that never heard of DFP.

I've had a couple parents mention IR and HE to me this year. I was shocked and amazed. Love to run into folks who really want to learn.

It blows my mind that anyone claiming to know anything about pitching teaches such nonsense. Incredible.

Politely tell the guy to kick rocks. Find a new PC and teach her yourself in the meantime. Start with "I/R in the Classroom" thread and work on all the drills.

Good luck.
