Wow, sjsss - that is great. A post just to say "thank you". I want to jump in and do the same - I hope others will follow. I have found myself telling people about this board and how "selfless" the people here are, how WILLING they are to share their knowledge and help these kids succeed...
I don't know what a Wheel Choke is, but it sounds interesting. Another pitcher on DDs team plants her RIGHT HEEL into the ground after she pushes forward, instead of going directly to dragging her toe...her dad says they are constantly working on it and can't get it right (probably been doing...
excellent information Boardmember, detailed explanation (and can't thank you enough for including the video shots!). DD definitely still has 6/12 rotation, further proving to us that she is NOT utilizing Internal Rotation. She'll be "showing and throwing" until she gets it right. Hopefully we...
Thanks for some additional input, and Boardmember, for your candor...you can't post something asking for an opinion and then expect people to candy-coat it.
deleting the youtube. but really like whatever software was used for those slow-mo snippets...
Thanks Sluggers.
Any technical insight about her "leaning " to the right. Too much lean?
Any suggestions for helping with glove hand?
Part of the reason for her "lack of exertion" is fear of throwing it wild, but also, we've been throwing at slower tempo for her to work on her technique...
Hi! Posted this video of DD a few months ago...got some great info on this site, thank you! During the last few weeks, we've been starting to work on some of the necessary changes - The second video, while a really bad video (actually, bad workout too!)...shows what progress she has made...
excellent info
Excellent info....and yes, anything they download to the iPod they DO watch 24/7 !!!
with the 3 tap drill, on the 3rd time when she throws, should she just step down and throw....or actually utilize her leap and drag...exploding off of her planted/stationary foot. any thoughts...
Thank you Mark H.
Great analogy, the hitting and lunging. I will use that one this morning with her.
Actually watching the videos of elite ones is a great idea..I really do think it helps. I have been "telling" her and working on the lean for a LONG time, and honestly - until I compared HER...
Sluggers.....she definitely has the body for pitching and is quite an athlete...we just have some important changes to make this summer (obviously). we JUST started with the 3 circle/tap drill last week, not long enough to see the progress yet. She still looks spastic! BUt I hadn't remembered...
Looking for some outside eyes and we've been reviewing these boards quite often - lots of great info from some great people. Thanks! 13 y/o niece, playing 12 u travel at this time. working on some technique issues, some more obvious than others. Please take a look and be critical. Also, it...
