I would agree it is mostly a style thing...but if all the other mechanics and timing are fine i would not try and change it either way.
I can't find any PC that supports I/R.
Yes, correct which is why I was happy I found it, but they do not support out of the glove delivery. My daughter does not want to change that about her pitching. She tried it for 4 lessons. Since it seems to be style choice and she is the one pitching not me, I don't want to control that.Fluid dynamics is essentially IR.
Actually Tincher teaches a 55 degree hip angle at release so 45 degrees is not an absolute.Yes, what I think I am getting from looking at a lot of other posts on DP, especially the post on this thread from sluggers, is that all the great Pitching coaches like Denny, Pauly, Hillhouse, Java, boardmember ect, all have or teach the same absolutes that make a recipe for success. The half of a percent difference is some may teach optionals/preferences as absolutes. Like for instance, what Sluggers said about closing after release. The absolute is that all good pitchers have their hips angled at around 45 degrees at release, the preference is that some sucessful pitchers stay open at release and some close more; Ueno closes more than tincher allows after release but is still successful. It doesn't hurt pitchers if their PC teaches preferences as absolutes as long as they are making sure to teach all the absolutes. Sluggers post really put things in perspective for me. I am thankful he replied.
that is a good pointActually Tincher teaches a 55 degree hip angle at release so 45 degrees is not an absolute.
when the ball hand goes behind back. This Tincher instructor requires what she calls a glove block. That is when ball swings behind back, glove should openly hit stride leg thigh. She likes to hear it, says if she can' hear it, it doesnt exist. The glove hand doesnt extent towards catcher fully but keeps slightly bent more tucked into body; supposed to be relaxed more pulled into side. This is to keep the glove hand under control.. The strange thing is in the tincher video it doesnt show the the girls slamming the glove down on the swing back but does show all the girls keeping their gloves closer to their bodies and glove does not extent towards catcher fully. However, I recieved a PM from a member that has a tincher student and she sent me a video of daughter that also slams glove to thigh on swingback. (when I say slammed into thigh, glove is open so it doesnt hurt)
