    Riseball slo-mo vids

    Anyone have any good slo-mo videos of pitchers throwing a Riseball? All the old threads no longer have the video. Dd is working a rise to offset her drop and video would be really great for reference and education. Please and thank you!!!!

    Hip snap

    Is the hip snap the natural result of a strong front side resistance OR something that needs to be taught? Looking at Abbott and Ueno - they have a strong hip snap other pitches have some varying degree to none at all.

    When does the roller coaster turn into a merry-go-round.

    Dead bat - need advice

    DD's CF7 has lost its pop. It lived a very useful life BUT we are in a panic for a replacement. It's a 31/20. She has a 32/21 but it feels heavy and she swings it too slow for now. I hate to drop a load of money with the CF9 coming out in a few weeks but she needs something to use. Is there...

    Degree of front side resistance

    In watching videos of various pitchers and working with DD on front side resistance, I got to wondering: Is there a range of acceptable front side resistance? Does it vary by Body type (build, height, weight, etc) Here are two examples from elite pitchers....

    Drag foot action at release

    Disclaimer: this post is not about crow hopping or being "skippy" In analyzing DD's footwork during abduction and whip snap/release, I am noticing she is still dragging her foot. In thinking about the need to transfer energy during the release phase, I am wondering if there is a preferred...

    How about we start a thread....where we list Pitching coaches that actually teach IR. This might help folks find true IR PCs without having to try so hard or end up with HE. When I was looking, I was referred to two PCs and turned out they were HE. Post name and city. If you post their info it's...
