stickpile I feel the same about my eyes developing, only problem is I don't always trust my eyes. I noticed the AandM pitcher leaning to left at different degrees depending on the pitch she was throwning. Dont know the different pitches but the lean did vary.
gvm I think I am going to try to shorten her up a little and see what changes it produces.
I went to a Michele Smith clinic today and she said 7-8 foot lengths of the pitchers foot is a good starting point. Some pitchers can get out passed that and some will be short based on their style but it's a starting point for them to aim at. We were talking mostly 8-12 yr olds. Fwiw.
Dang that seems like a long way for a 5'7" girl 14yr that inherited my long waist and nubbins for legs. Not saying it ain't correct but that seems like a long way. I am going to try a cone and make some small adjustments and see what if anything changes.
Makes more sense. ThanksRemember its pitchers foot length, not feet or steps. Unless she wears a 12, it's not that far IMO
