On these videos, is the first one bullet spin, and the one from the game where it drops is that likely a different spin?
As Ken said. Somewhat bullet on the first and drop action on the second.
On second Watch her finish. You can see she pulls up on the ball at release. That’s more of a peel drop release from a HE pitcher. My dd did that very well before switching to IR. the drop release using IR is different. More of a rip off the seams as the hand pronates. You’ll get there.

The first one looked like it was between drop and spiral. The second one was drop spin or very close.
I think so. The semi-spiral is a classic fastball and eventually will be useful in contrast to the drop and change. Later on, she might swap out a rise for the fastball for even more contrast.
Thanks, yes she wasn't doing either on purpose, but there were a few from that one game on video that just seemed to drop.
So the spiral on the 1st pitch is fine for now, but eventually you want to get it to that of the second pitch, just in a different manner?
Thanks Ken, do you have any cues for change-upS to get the fingers on the outside of the ball? We’re trying to do the Pauly change, or at least the beginning of it, but my DD’s fingers are always on the inside of the ball, leafing with the pinkie., instead of the outside.
