Nice job Boomers to you and your DD! Don't let Screwball get to you, everyone else knew exactly what you meant about DD getting complacent with school ball.
So what are you waiting for with the rise ball? She has great mechanics to start working on it now..

For my DD, last winter was about learning/ingraining base mechanics (I/R, Drive, Posture, etc),
this Winter is about learning postural and release differences for pitches.
Sounds like we are in same boat?
That's not to say that the base mechanics still don't need refinement,
just that she's ready and it's an appropriate time to begin to implement "phase II".
In addition to a FB and Change, she's begun work on a corkscrew curve and a roll-over drop.
(My DD is a lot like yours in that she has developed good "reverse posture" and also isn't a "natural" for the drop with her base posture.)

You've never heard of playing down to the level of your competition? Are you sure you're a coach?
Boomers, so I watch this video and I have to ask how far is she throwing in these?
Thanks....DD had already committed to play in a tourney or we probably would have tried to make it down there.

you noticed how fast it reached the mitt didn't you? impressive stuff.

I think we want her pitching a little faster before we tackle the rise ball......or at least that is what I have been told. Now that I think about it...i am not real sure why we are waiting. Is there a certain speed the pitch has to be in order for a rise ball to "rise"? Or, is it just a postural/release point thing?.......
Corlay, it sounds like they are in the exact same stage of development. We are just now starting on a drop ball so you guys may be a little ahead of us.
