Elbow needs to be leading over head followed by pulling the elbow downward (adduction).

Also, I noticed that she needs to firm up the front site. Review Boardmember's adduction clip, it really helps with this, as I think she's thinking she needs to bring her throwing shoulder around to throw. That is, I think she's using a little bowling action, evidenced by what she does with her shoulders. She's not really getting the internal rotation at release. If she were, her hand would be more palm down right after release.

Clearly, she's well on her way! She's got lots of time. Don't bombard her with too many things. I'm guilty of that, and it doesn't help.

This is mostly a push vs. I/R whip......

He hips are too square. Her posture is too forward, because she pushing. Her PC is not teaching I/R at all. She's getting behind the ball to push it and TURNING OFF I/R at 25% rotation 3:00 to release. Ball faces third to ball faces forward and she fights to keep it facing forward so she can push it........in essence shutting down I/R..

If she was being taught I/R she would be allowed.......No, ENCOURAGED to ALLOW her arm to continue rotation THROUGH THE BALL NATURALLY in a relaxed manner. She locks her arm down to keep it facing forward through release to assist the push.

You can't just post all of these shots when you don't know what they are throwing. Those could be rise balls or change ups. Both of those are going to tweak your arm position. And I know nothing about curve balls or screws, but I would be surprised if those might also end up with slight different arm position as you come into the zone.

My point with these photos is that people can sure have weird hair.

Working on your advice and recommendations. I think that this is hopefully a little better?
