Ken Krause understands me. Although, I do find it odd that an instructor using this method would not defend it.

Don't fall for it. It's all an act. First he makes you feel all special with his responses and thanks but when you show up drunk on his doorstep at 3 am with a six pack and a bat he gets all weird and calls the cops. all you wanted to do was talk softball and hit some balls in his back yard but he totally misinterprets it as being crazy behavior somehow.

[video]https://youtu.be/muRbLvlHjJo[/video]Maybe a stupid question, but are there videos comparing HE to IR that I can see? I think my DD is/has been taught HE but not sure. Thanks This is a video made at one of her practices.

Focusing on just the arm motion, and only the arm motion, she has a lot going right. Decent ball orientation around the backside of the circle, good elbow positioning and the beginning of some decent brush interference. If she has been taught HE, she isn't showing it. She doesn'the quite have a full IR motion, it looks like she is muscling too much to have a good whip, but she seems to be on the right path.

Sluggers likes saying video has changed the game.

Look at the model pitchers thread or record a college game and watch the P.

They are all a little bit different but not HE.

Thanks DNeeld. PC says she is short and stocky and so will not have the advantages of a tall girl with a larger arm circle, but said her muscle mass makes up for it. Could you please elaborate on the comment you made about not having full IR motion? I'm just not understanding that principle. Sorry, LoL!
