Drills to help this girl
ok what is making her heel move away from the way she is driving then? maybe we don't agree on replant? her drive foot lands and then pushes again from somewhere other than the plate. regardless if you can see it or not is not important. what is important is that she understands first, it...- damon s

Drills to help this girl
Also, she is not replanting. Her front foot is down and the weight has been transferred. There is no 2nd push going on. she is without question replanting. are you watching the right video? watch her right foot as it lands post original drive. the second push is why her leg is straight, she...- damon s

Drills to help this girl
in this video the pitcher is not gathering her back leg under her. she is actually repushing, crow hopping. imo there are lots of good things happening here. when I have a girl doing these things I use cues like keep your nose behind your belly button, which is not necessarily the fix but the...- damon s

PC had a talk with DD about wearing a mask in the circle....
riseball it is entirely possible that I misunderstood your point. no one did make the statement however as it often happens when corresponding through this medium, the between the lines content is inferred improperly. let me restate my point directed to no one on this thread or site but lets...- damon s

PC had a talk with DD about wearing a mask in the circle....
this weekend our 14u team played in a very competitive tourney. these teams are great. Team PA Cyclones were one of the teams. They have a crazy good 3rd base player that took a shot to the forehead from one of our girls that could have been heard 2 counties away. after ticking her glove, it...- damon s

PC had a talk with DD about wearing a mask in the circle....
this is crazy. coaches who choose not to look at a young lady because she wears a mask is frankly, stupid. I bet they use a screen when pitching BP. I am fairly certain that no player ever uses this criteria when deciding where to play. Personally, I stopped pitching BP without a screen...- damon s

Help with brush for girls with enourmous hip bone protrusion :)
my dd has the same problem. I have watched the brush gifs thread. it looks like, imo, that if my dd is hitting her hip bone it is because her hips are not turning enough. I will let the gurus comment on whether or not my observation is correct or not. when I watch the gifs on the thread, it...- damon s

new pitch spin and looking for your thoughts...
it is a little grainy but I wanted use 480 fps to see the spin better. I will try to get a 240 fps soon and post. I really appreciate all the folks helping my dd out. the curve ball we are trying to do is the same as the one we saw Sarah do. it appears to me that her cb does not have a 9-3...- damon s

new pitch spin and looking for your thoughts...
thanks Java. I think the backside of the circle started right after returning from the injury. maybe she was compensating to avoid what she thought might hurt. she is almost all the way back. and yes you will be seeing us soon, God willing. I am assuming you think it is ok to have her work...- damon s

new pitch spin and looking for your thoughts...
my dd is working on a couple new pitches. she currently throws 3 pitches. fb and change are pretty good, drop is hit or miss. trying to get a little feedback on the spin of her curve and rise. these are the very first time she has attempted either. the vids are little grainy but had to go 480...- damon s
