How do you know there is a problem Hank? Have you noticed an issue with spin quality? spin rate? location? etc. You could be on a snipe hunt, without reviewing video it is impossible to tell what is going on.

The problem is the back shoulder dropping...throwing up hill.loss of speed after an injury...a habit she never had before. See photo

Hank...the purpose of the drill is to throw the ball downhill. If she's prematurely rotating her shoulders prior to release? If so, you've got some additional fish to fry. I will have my daughter replicate this in drill for you (and her) to get a visual of what it should look like. It's a very forced and mechanical exercise in drill so they feel the downhill throw.

That would be awesome

Bill Hillhouse talks about the drop in terms of release point. Maybe you and your DD can watch his video and a light will come on. Start at about 3:30
