Pitching Lesson - IR
Since the PC is a former pitcher, can you find video of her pitching? I would bet that you could show it to her and say "there, teach my kid that". Even the higher level pitchers that touch their throwing shoulder at the end, do it as as after thought, after following through w/ IR. Michele...- 97fastpitchdad

Confused and need help with pitching coach.
The slowing down is something we have shown recently as well. My daughter has always been told arm speed, arm speed, arm speed. As explained to us, if the explosive energy is being used in the upswing or beginning of the circle, you can only slow down going into the release or snap. She has...- 97fastpitchdad

What important role does the pivot foot play?
Do any of you instructors analyze the drag marks your pitchers leave in the dirt? Anyone ever take pictures to compare?- 97fastpitchdad

Looking for a specific pitching aid for foot drag - need help
Would love to see a video of this thing being used with the "correct " drag. Are we encouraging the toe straight down, shoe laces to the catcher drag? It seems like the back leg would become an anchor, and keep the pitcher from getting open.- 97fastpitchdad

Last night's practice
This was only the second time throwing the ball following a 2 week break, so I wasn't expecting anything extrordinary. I just thought DD could hit some spots, work the change a little, and just slowly get back into the groove. We have tried working on IR in the past, just like we have worked on...- 97fastpitchdad
