Ok, arm isolation drills sound like a good start. I think she has been muscling the ball for quite some time now trying gain speed but we didn't know any better. This could take a while to fix but we will keep at it and repost next week with an updated video. This is the kind of support I was hoping to receive when I started posting. Thanks everyone.
Bring both arms down with equal pull-down. Think Boardmember and the word adduction. I think of it as arm/shoulder symmetry.
This is how we do it....

Spot on here Doug...... It's simply a lack of pulling into the core equally

Here is a different take on it. This kid has such natural athleticism and whip that she just instinctively knows that a long arm is faster than a short one. Others see a shoulder dip, I see a girl with a wicked riseball in two years and a girl that feels how to milk her body for speed.
Dipping the throwing arm is not a bad thing in and of itself. Dipping it so much and angling so hard that you cannot brush effectively, which I see a lot of girls do, is a problem.
her is Jenny dipping her shoulder pretty good.

ahhh shucks PC...I didn't even recognize my kid with the nice color scheme you used. I saw the clip and thought "that kid looks good" then went ...."hey...thats my front yard....hey thats my kid!" truth be told right this very minute I am trying to get her to DIP HER SHOULDER and Bend her back knee to get a little upward release angle on her riseball...
I totally agree with her front arm usage Doug. as I look at her I just see this great whip but a dead front arm that is contributing nada to the motion.
RT- I don't see her as shouldering the ball at all. I see girls with a high throwing shoulder as trying to shoulder it.
