slugger is all over it , also her elbow is locked after 12 oclock. Just look at the drill and see how lose and smooth she is versus how stiff she looks in the video

also this is probably why Bill asked if she was sore the follow through is very forced and unnatural

Ball/hand orientation looks good to me. Needs more whip--loosen up the lower arm. Let it hang from the elbow. Give up the control you feel from aiming and let it fly. (Whip feels out of control at first, but when you learn to whip/snap, you'll find the speed jumps with less effort and it doesn't take long to find control.)

Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback. We saw a new pitching coach today and he wants DD to loosen the arm and make contact with the hip and rotate the hand inward. He also wants the drag foot to stay behind and meet the plant foot.

Pretty much in line with what was suggested here.

Now lots of repetition to break old habits.

I'm good with most of the new PC's suggestions but would like to hear the reason for a mandatory foot-to-foot drag. (I teach something similar, but don't sweat the feet if all else is well.) Along with whip, I'd throw in adduction of the thighs and glove.

He said he wanted her to stay behind her pitch and not bring the drag foot around.

Adduction of the glove hand is part of it. She has 3 drills to work on everyday

I like your PC's understanding of the motion. Sounds like you might have found that rare gem we all want for our daughters.

We have been working on things, does this look like we are moving in the right direction?

This video looks better. Good progress. Try to keep the hips and shoulders still and firm from 9:00 into release. She is spinning through the release a bit still. But overall, shes making progress. Keep up the good work....
