    Swingback yes or no?

    Didn't see Bill's response above before posting, but that is exactly the issue we have🤦‍♂️

    Swingback yes or no?

    I have seen a significant decrease in velocity from my daughter when she drops out of her glove with a backswing instead of staying in it. She has a tendency to lock out her elbow when doing this and loses a lot of the whip.

    Pitching strategy with small strike zone

    Basically how both teams approached it at the plate. 8 homeruns hit in the game combined.

    Pitching strategy with small strike zone

    What is the best advice/game plan to help pitchers deal with this? Recently saw a high school game that turned into a hitting contest between the two teams because the only strikes being called were ones down the middle. Umpire was consistent with both pitchers, but definitely a hitters advantage.

    Is this not an illegal pitch??

    Watched the video again several times while focusing on the left stride leg. I really don't see her gaining any additional distance towards home plate with the replant. It looks to me like the stride foot was going to land in the same spot regardless of the replant. Maybe the replant is helping...

    Hips open or closed?

    I will give it a shot. Thanks

    Hips open or closed?

    I am just trying to get DD to close her hips at all. She has the tendency to hold them back with an anchored back foot instead of them naturally doing what they want to do.

    Hips open or closed?

    Just trying to make sure I am understanding correctly. The hips are closing and stopping at approximately 45 degrees from 12 o'clock until the ball is released, and then closing completely after the ball is gone?

    More pitcher help

    I have watched that clip about 50 times, and I don't think I have ever seen anyone her age or size with that good of mechanics with power/resistance through release. Great job.

    What do I Mean

    What cue did you use to do this? I have tried to tell dd to be quicker with her release from 7 to 6 o'clock. I don't want to screw this up and start pushing the ball again!

    What do I Mean

    Bump with a question. Does holding the inside the ball too long produce more bullet spin instead of true 12-6 spin? DD often seems to stay inside the ball but does not release through to get the true 12-6 spin.

    Does anybody knowhow to contact House of Pitching website or Bill H.

    He mentioned he would be out of the country for a couple of weeks this month, but maybe he will check in here.

    Transitioning from No Backswing to Backswing

    I see more pitchers with a backswing than without, but I have my DD pitching with no backswing per instruction and explanation from Hillhouse. I think if she can pitch equally either way, then the no back swing could be beneficial as she gets older, but I'm just another bucket dad. :)

    Body/hip rotation

    Not trying to derail the topic, but do you think she is missing brush contact? It looks like her hip is in position to get good brush, but it looks like she is missing it. Just asking because I have been working on the issue with my own dd.
