Very useful. Thank you.
Very good..I will make sure my old eyes are warmed up properly or borrow my wife's smartphone or both
Video is a good idea. Safety tip: Your DD may not like watching herself, especially if you are pointing out things she is doing "wrong".
Alhough not directly related to SB's whip drill, this is video from 2 years ago (DD was 10yo) during a backyard session when we were working on correcting DBSF issues...
The idea was to go through an expanding progression of movements into a full swing on a moving ball, working on keeping the hands up and launching/turning the barrel from above the shoulder. She didn't perform all of the steps of the progression exactly as I wanted in this particular clip, but I think you can get the idea of what we were trying to do. As you can see, when it came time to hit a moving ball, she reverted back to pushing her hands down and back prior to launch. In the long run, this work turned out to be beneficial for my DD's progress.
Thanks. Regarding the safety issue..I don't show her the videos of herself. Only of model swings. When she asks if hers looks like those I tell her we are working on it..lol
What do you mean by 'coil late'. Start coil when pitched ball is in the air. Start coil when pitcher starts their movement. Or other. I picture 'coil late' to be when ball is in the air. Perhaps are we talking different type of 'coil' all together. I'm asking respectively to try and be on the same page of your meaning.You need to see a pitched/machine ball to learn how reprogram your sequence so you coil correctly and coil late.
Hi RD,
I mean the coil late is when the ball is in the air. Noon had a good breakdown showing the gather, then coil, then load of Miggy.
Gather is the dance with the pitcher - at release you coil - then load.
Melero starts to coil at release on right side - everything on the left is gather/style
But, as I said there is a right way and wrong way to coil.
...tee work won't necessarily work.
