But it doesn’t matter what the gun says if the girl is being taught bad mechanics. I can only speak from what I’ve seen around here, most of the coaches who gun every lesson focus on what the gun says and the fact that the mechanics are bad is a side note.
Forget about the pitching instructors around there for a minute. Just put that out of your mind. Who cares what they do. I'm not them. None of what I quoted above is relevant. I'm talking about doing it for young players with good or bad mechanics in order for them to BETTER focus on their mechanics. You are trying to hide the gun from them so that they focus on mechanics. I'm saying, condition them to it so they can then use the gun to help them understand their body and associate it to their mechanics and the improvement that comes along with better mechanics.
BUY IN to changing bad mechanics is what I'm looking for and what better way to get them to buy in to changing mechanics than seeing the improvement on a radar gun? Trust me, they get tired of hearing Dad and the PC saying "You need to improve your _________ " without understanding what improvement will come along with the change. They really don't like changing somethig solely for the sake of changing something. They need incentive.
See we both want the same result, ie... them focusing on their mechanics, I'm just advocating for using an additional tool (radar gun) to get them there. That's all. I want the radar to speak to them instead of Dad because they stop listening to dad around 12u but they will listen to that number on the gun.
