10U DD pitching - looking for a drill

[Duckball]

Anyone have a drill that could help with resistance?
I appreciate any help with this issue and any other tips you might have.
Thank you.

Looks like she has a little torso lean and is off the power line. Once she plants the led foot at a 45 on the power line, I'd work on the lean (nose over or behind the belly button at release).

SoAZDad - Yes, its that torso lean that I'd like to fix and was hoping to remedy that with perhaps better resistance. Just not sure the best way to do that other than keep taking to her about posture. Thanks for your input.

Okay, a bit more then. My DD had an extreme lean. Her PC went at it different ways, and I'm not sure which one(s) got it corrected. He first started drilling her about balance. He had her go 1/4 speed or so and try to stop near release. He called it nose over the belly button that provides vertical balance. She's catch herself before she fell forward. Then he'd do it 1/2 speed, and 3/4 speed. Another thng he did was work with her on the timing of shifting her load so the stride was timed off the pitcher's plate with the throwing hand. Lesson after lesson, he'd ask her after throwing both leaning and balanced (tall) pitches if she felt "balanced on that one." Suddenly after awhile, she had corrected it. He helped her feel the lean and correct it herself.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

SoAZdad - thanks, I can work with that.
