    Need Help!!!

    That's the only current video I have. To me it looks likes she is still pushing the ball and not pulling down at 3/4 position

She has been to Hillhouse a couple times but has not been able to see him in a...

    DD making some progress with Bill Hillhouse

    LOL...I was wondering where this original post went. He says all of those things you mentioned and my DD really enjoys working with him. We are working on the swimming part but I don't know if I will ever fully get that corrected. She has done it since day one and until we went to Bill it was...

    DD making some progress with Bill Hillhouse

    I use Coaches Eye and all of these videos was filmed with it or my Canon 60D. I noticed her pivot foot leaving the floor but I think that is due to the surface she is pitching from and no mound to push off of. Had to use indoor practice gym due to weather outside. I really appreciate all of...

    DD making some progress with Bill Hillhouse

    I agree with you guys about the difference between my DD pitching in a game versus lessons. Whip action is much more natural for her and that is generally what you saw in games and HE in Practice. I think she already has a good understanding of the arm whip but she still forces it because of...

    DD making some progress with Bill Hillhouse

    He does tell her to relax her shoulders and whip the elbow. it's going to take time to change since she has been taught HE for 4 years but it looks to me like she is going to catch on pretty quick. I'm not sure about the wall...I was thinking the same thing

    Speed has went done a little bit but he said once she gets used to the new style it will go up quite a bit. As far as movement and accuracy I think that has gotten a lot better

    DD making some progress with Bill Hillhouse

    DD had her second lesson with Bill Hillhouse yesterday and she is starting to get the hang of it. Check out the video and let me know what you think. First video is her old instructor teaching HE <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/49VCxPRVMCQ" frameborder="0"...

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    DD does not ever bring the elbow up when she is pitching in a game but always does when she is at lessons. Main problem I see with her motion is her swimming and leaning forward. DD is very excited about getting to work with Bill...

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    PC will usually have her work on mechanics into a screen from short distance for the first half of lesson and then I would catch her the last portion, but not always...sometimes the entire practice would be just the net. I've always been very concerned about the swimming issue but was told its...

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    I've been a bucket dad for a long time but I just didn't know until here recently that we have paid a fortune to learn pitching the wrong way, but I'm glad to hear from you guys that she might have already been doing a few things right which will help with the style change.

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    DD instructor is the only one close to our area and every pitcher that is any good goes to him. What you described is exactly how he teaches.

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    Funny thing about that elbow is the only time she does it is at practice. When she is in game situation she does it her way, but I'm not taking anything away from her instructor. She would not be where she is at without his guidance, but at least she knows when something will not work and does...

    Pitching Style Change After 5 years of lessons

    I think to an extent my DD as developed her own style as your daughter does. If you watched the long video you can see she doesn't bring her elbow up on any of her pitches but rather rolls her hand a little bit as you described. As for the work she is going to do that anyway...Just as well do...
