Critique DD for me

[Doug Romrell]

Personally, I think this drill would do the most good for her right now....

And, here's my pitcher "M" executing it. M, who has had issues with timing due to lazy feet, has greatly benefited from this drill. I wish I could take some of that energy in your pitcher and put it in M. But I think your pitcher could benefit from taking some of the calmer approach from M.

About 10:45 he talks about pushing the glove. I also like Doug's suggestion.

This has been excellent feedback, thank you!
That arm circle getting out of line has been a chronic problem for her- at least when she finds out, she knows how to correct, or at least how to work on corrections.
that walk thru drill is different than what she's been doing and I can see it being more beneficial in terms of straightening out that arm circle!
I hope I will be able to post another video soon after corrections are incorporated.

thanks again!

Boardmembers 45 degree drill is also very beneficial for arm circle issues.

Where could I find BMs 45 degree drill?

obbay,

Bob Mahoney teaches pitching at Hitters alley in Woburn. Great coach and person.

This thread contains the 45 drill and goes into great detail about it. Helped my daughter immensely.

not sure how far it would be for you, but I would consider Planet Fastpitch in Uxbridge, MA- it is a great facility, excellent coaches- Denise Davis is wonderful and highly motivating. Their instruction is in-line with what is recommended on this site, no HE. Planet Fastpitch | Champions Train Here

Thanks MandM- that was farther than I had planned to go for weekly instruction - driving an hour for a 1hr lesson seems like it might be tough but someone else had mentioned that and it may be the only solution
