Video review?!

power elbow and internal rotation

I THINK he means that the "power elbow" is more like pushing the ball to the catcher, shoulder closed, pointing the elbow to the catcher...NOT IR. Thus, the fingers behind the ball creating the 6/12 spin....somewhat of a peel-drop, if you will. whereas, in the backyard he works IR with her...

Video review - the Need for Speed !

BM, I lOVE the "mud pie" analogy...it really fits - we will use it ! Oddly, she seemed to really have decent IR AND a good arm snap going for her from the beginning. If she had maintained that, I think she would have seen a great improvement. This was about the same time she really started...
