How was she wearing out a pair every season? Does she drag outside of the pitching toe area or is she just really hard on shoes?
Like the first OP... this is the last throw of practice. I tell her to knock me off the bucket. I tell her she can use her "2Step"... So glad to be done with the walk-up's 
Lots of progress on my long list this week. Up on toe better, lol... arm closer. She was getting the foot @ 45 all through practice. Even with this rebuild, she is keepin the ball 12/6
EP: I set the video to TV... I knew what 1/2000 looked like (OP), so I just looked at led and dropped down to where I got some light & color....1/250 & Happy w/ this.... I can see it with little blur. I can see those long fingers I think I'm seeing the ball pick up the ZIP out about 3-5' after release.

Tuff Toe Sports will custom "dip" your shoes and add a pitching toe. Here is a link to their website. Read the instructions carefully and clearly mark on the shoe where you would like the dip applied.

Looking much improved...
everything looks pretty spot-on up to 9:00.
I realize that this was a "full-force" pitch that you filmed,
so mechanics might have broken-down some, but...
keep working on posture and bringing that arm closer to body 9:00-release.
She's still clearing her hips, and her release point is still forward.
also, time to work toward some upper-arm stabilization.
I see zero pause of upper arm (humerus) and whip of lower arm through release.
I'm pretty sure these two flaws go hand-in-hand,
so as one improves, so will the other.

PC.......Throw the ball at the BACK HIP/THIGH, not the front hip/thigh. Watch the distance from her side disappear and her upper arm stabilize when she snaps it off at the back hip. She'll have to practice a little because she's liable to throw a few into the ground as she gets used to moving the release point back where it belongs.....
Thank-You Sir !!!
Thank You... going to work on that.
Big Week !!! DD is smokin Hot !!! Got the toe burning rubber. She threw 100 pitches like it was nothing. Sorry I got so excited, I didn't even want to film... Get some tomorrow
