She doesn’t seem to get sideways towards 3rd base. Power producer?
I think the picture is great but she is still on the rubber meaning the drive leg push is late. Therefore leads the second picture, IMO. I think she does a lot of great things.
Mike has made that comment about finishing the drive and the back toes drive. Pointing out she stays on the rubber to long.
This was the first practice at 43 ft. First time trying the knee lift. She stood up to soon. She was throwing 47 mph. So, the challenge is getting her speed up. The sooner the better. She was throwing 51 mph last year.
Mike,
Do you think the Queen of the hill will help create a sprinters mentality, quickness? Focus on the legs and loosing up the whip/lower arm.

Anyone ever hear a cue, quick feet fast arm? John Gay used that cue. I learned from him. I just never use it.
Its a great cue.
Personally, I don't agree that she is late getting off the rubber. At least not enough to worry about:
Maybe she's closer to like 2:45 than exactly 3:00, but it close enough. Through the pre-motion and into this position, she is damn near picture perfect.
Its right here that things start to go haywire and its directly caused by the anchor of a drag foot:
Starting from here all the way to release, her body is out of synch because that anchor is slowing down the entire bottom half (not too mention that just looks painful as hell too). If you get that drag foot corrected, I'm betting you'll see most of the other problems disappear quickly.
