Teaching to spin
I’ve mentioned several times on here that I can’t find a pitching coach in my area. And over and over Im told I need to find DD a pitching coach. So I try to find her a “pitching coach” and Im not liking what im finding. So Im asking should DD be forcing shoulder forward with arm straight down...- Laphoneman

TTB vs HTTB
T Thank you I’ve been wanting to post my thoughts on this subject but you worded it perfectly. There’s no way everyone is going to agree on a best swing mechanics because both push and pull mechanics can work great. what is best for your student may not be best for my student. With my DD...- Laphoneman

Change
my DD drives straight over her toe and really digs in with her toe like an anchor. the pitch usually follows the direction of her hips so if dragging hard opens her hips ball inside. She has to focus on her hip direction While anchoring the toe. The harder she drags the slower the pitch.- Laphoneman

Pitching analysis 14u Please
She set her goal to go from 52 to 54 this year and reached it by April mostly due to the QOTH getting her to push back instead of down into the ground. With most of the suggestions being about leaning more and more bend and drive in knee while striding with knee instead of foot we are hoping to...- Laphoneman

Pitching analysis 14u Please
My reply was directed more to trying to figure out if Mr Hillhouse meant she could find more speed now or if he meant something to look forward to as she progresses. We are going to be working on the suggestions we got and they are greatly appreciated.- Laphoneman

Potential for injury
It could open a can of worms or it could be the information they need a new pitching coach. Maybe even assure op that her DD is in good hands and has nothing to worry about. I think most information you get on DFP is honest opinions from people and coaches that are really trying to help.- Laphoneman

Potential for injury
Unless that person saw a mechanical flaw in her pitching that will probably result in an injury. I see girls all the time that have form issues that have to be causing them pain. But they keep pitching. Maybe post a video and let some of the coaches take a look at her form.- Laphoneman

Pitching analysis 14u Please
There is a new thread on may7 potential for injury where they are discussing pitching all out and possibility of injury. Many comments on keep pitching all out. My DD does not pitch all out She is trying to relax shoulder and whip. She seems to muscle up and throw when she tries to throw hard...- Laphoneman

Pitching analysis 14u Please
Yes I’m having trouble getting her to grasp the hinge concept that the shoulders will be in front of her hips when she does it right. I’ve showed her diagrams and her videos. It’s something we need to spend more time on. Would standing long jumps be a way to help her feel the hinge and exploding...- Laphoneman
