    Pitching Issue

    My daughter went through a similar issue with the bruising (I can't tell if it is exactly the same cause from the video). I've got quite a few of the Rick Pauly videos purchased and he covered the issue in one of them. Basically he said that happens when the ball hand at the top of the circle...

    Dead hit bat?

    I do have some limited flight balls I can throw by hand I was just looking for some that would go with a pitching machine. Thanks for the comment though!

    Dead hit bat?

    I didn't even know those existed, but that sounds like exactly what I want. Thank you!

    Dead hit bat?

    My problem is that I have access to a pitching machine and I'd like to use it in my relatively small back yard without breaking windows or sending balls over the fence. I don't want to pay for / use up space with a batting cage net if I can help it. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bat that...

    Hip Bruise

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! @Hillhouse Thanks for confirming the padding concern I have and that when done right it shouldn't hurt. That video was one of the ones from when she says she hit her side too hard. Also just wanted to thank you for your videos. Nothing has had more of a...

    Hip Bruise

    Thanks for the help on previous questions! I think we're moving in the right direction. We are hitting a new issue and looking for suggestions to help fix it. We've just started back after about 3 months off. DD is able to pitch in the 41 - 44 mph range with no issues. If she jumps up to the 46...

    Speed drop off with I/R

    My DD spent 3 years (8U and 10U) pitching with a hello elbow style motion. I then worked to convert her to I/R with the help of the Hillhouse videos (a life saver), stickies on this forum, and by watching slow motion video on YouTube (Ueno, Osterman, Pauly, etc.). I'd say we got her 3/4...

    Changing Mechanics - Best Practices

    Thanks for all of the replies! Our all star season is fairly short 2 - 4 more weekends depending on how we do, so I think I will wait until after the season is over before starting the larger changes. We started the switch from HE to IR last year, but there is definitely some ingrained muscle...

    Changing Mechanics - Best Practices

    Thanks for the reply, that was really helpful. We do have a few months off coming up after the all stars season, so I think it makes sense to wait until then to start on the changes instead of trying to force them now. I'd been debating doing that, but wasn't sure. I still think this is a good...

    Changing Mechanics - Best Practices

    Hi, Love this forum, you guys give great advice. After a couple years of struggling to find good information, we stumbled upon the Hillhouse videos which felt like a life saver. Then found this forum with stickies on IR, brush interference, etc. to add to what we learned. So thank you to...
