Bo Gentry has problems with the curve...well my 13yo DD is having lots of problems with having a consistent change up. PC is working with her on a flip change...some days she has it...some days she doesn't. Even when she can throw it correctly is usually takes her about 5 pitches to get it correct. She will begin TB at 12U this year and her team will jump to 14u later this summer. My concern is she will really need a CU in 14u.
She usually pics things up fairly quickly, but for some reason with the CU she is consistently inconsistent with her mechanics. IMO it is time to start trying another CU. Right now, she will throw an off-speed drop to compensate for not really having a good CU.
I started looking back in older posts on this forum and youtube videos, etc. I found a post by Ken Krause and he talked about having his girls throw a backhand change. Sounded similar to the flip, but you simply don't flip your wrist.
Can someone give me more info. on the mechanics to throw a backhand change or a good video. I assume you just keep your arm straight, no flip, and release at the correct time.
If you don't like the backhand change please tell me what the disadvantages are, etc and what do you think is an effective change to learn. I am open to all suggestions at this point! Thanks!
