if that tee is supposed to be set up for an outside pitch you need to move it straight back about 8 inches. tee location is critical when hitting off of it :)
to me using the cue keep the front shoulder closed longer will make it a disconnected army swing, I like the cue "Let the ball get deeper" much more :)
you are absolutely correct the coil and drifting is very hard to get her back to being right , I attribute it to that she is heavily flat footed and has always had the up down movement in her feet and transfers weight to front foot prematurely causing the drift and lunge. right now in the middle...
no Mr T all points you made are very valid and very technical . Just was out of context for the post. I had just watched my DD swing so long what she was doing I became blind to. Much like as you see them everyday and do not realize how much they are growing due to it. I just was looking only...
when do you prefer your hitters gather and set I have tried to get her doing it earlier but she always resorts back to it being right around release and instead of loading the scap she more just loads the hands. but How would you get her to break her natural tendencies when in game swings take...
I am very aware that if you can time a pitch it does not matter how you swing you can put a bat on it if you see it ... you see that on rec fields all over the country so she strives to get better every day and you do that with mechanics, which will help vision and timing. and I can pitch every...
absolutely I just try to limit to much of the movement on the tee so it is less in game swings. she is 5'3 and trys to drive out 9 feet when pitching shes always been that way and you absolutely have to keep an eye on it because it destroys her mechanics without her realizing it . so my way...
pretty much am going that route , I removed the open stance which she showed up with after school ball , and put her more into a no stride which when front tossed will turn more into a up and back down movement with her stride foot . No matter what or how many times I swing her on a tee once...
weird part is she usually hits outside the best especially the down and out but she gets thrown inside at the hands constantly or in and up
well let me be clearer she used to hit absolute rockets back side but not lately but she still hits them the best over the inside
I have seen that as well and yes I am trying to find cue words that would give her the understanding of the hands and bat being independent of the shoulder rotation, I have also struggled with her front foot wanting to be so much toe on the landing. I have tried for years on that one I kind of...
Thank you I know everyone on this site is great that's why I posted them here. Thanks for the help and I know where it comes from . just for some reason was not paying attention to her bottom half . Her HS coach is a huge fan of the Cue "Step to the Pitcher" ... have to tell her that cue is one...
no she is not there is way to much forward movement for her to get a good frontside or for her swing path to be consistant or for her to time it correctly :(
