yes pointing torwards 1st we are both wrong with her

I'm not trying to one up or a be a jerk; just backing up my perspective. I truly believe it is more natural to allow the palm to face home or even a little toward 1B than to force it to do otherwise--same with the hips. I think our bodies, when given a path, will naturally do what they do.

I love the avatar BTW!

stand up and rest arms your by side just hanging, now rise your arms up as if you are ref. giving the field goal sign in football,which way are your palms facing, out,not torwards your head,they are relaxed and no tension in your arms. Now turn your palms towards your head. The muscles now have tension, so why would what to create tension in your shoulders and arms by having them facing towards the catcher, when plams at 3rd has no tension,relaxed. IMO of course

10/22's for my kids--you win!

My hands face my head. (My wife just asked what I'm doing then asked if I was looking at another gun site!)

KenB, I guess it comes down to what the pitcher feels and what makes more comfort in their mech. But is nice to for us to dissagree and not get mad at each other. As far as the OP, it gives them different perspectives and they can dismiss what what works and what doesn't.

okay maybe my dna is different. I feel tension in my shoulders or maybe I'm getting old I know that Hillhouse had my dd change to ball towards 3rd, but maybe he saw something in her mech. that he didn't like. I will ask him next week and get back to why? My dd's 22 is the Talo edition with the pink camo,lots of fun shooting cans. Now she wants to trade her Mathews bow in for the pink camo Mathews.

Ask Coach if he teaches "Show it and throw it." Also ask him about the hips. Let him know the hips of the girl in question are at about 45 degrees at release.

Awesome for her! I buy my kids stuff and they're not as interested. I get to play though! Hopefully someday...
