    Rapsodo pitching/hitting

    What's your thoughts on this new technology? I personally would love to have use of a gadget like this. I could see this as a big draw for hitting and pitching facilities. I linked these videos in another thread, gonna put them here also, https://rapsodo.com/coach-mike-white-oregon/...

    Dropball videos

    Found what looks to be couple of dropballs this WCWS. What I like about these 2 in particular is that the spin is visible, so the number of revs can be seen between the release and mitt. From whats being discussed in other threads, spin axis and revs are 2 contributing factors when it comes to...

    Barnhill

    Announcer labeled pitch as screwball, said to watch how the ball tumbled, with some lift to it??? While it was being shown in slowmotion. Lol. She may hop, but she can spin it

    Riseball, changing the axis

    In viewing a bunch of the slowmotion pitches from the WCWS, it's hard not to notice all the bulletspun riseballs. So it got me to thinking dd could probably throw this without much work. Just work on feathering the release of a IR fastball, get the nose up. 3 weeks in and she can throw this very...

    The Lean

    In looking at various videos and gifs, I've noticed most pitchers have a slight lean to the throwing arm side. For those who teach, how important is the lean? Is it something that you look for, teach, make sure they are doing?

    Whip?? What's your thoughts

    Is the keystone to good whip in the stride leg hip? Watch how Abbott unloads her weight into her hip.

    Adduction

    Working with DD on a fast, loose and whippy arm. Now how do you guys describe adduction without it being a muscled (slow) action? At least that's how I feel it. Trying to speed up the whip.

    Arm whip differeneces

    Any thoughts on different types of arm whip? Some brush, some whack, some lean and still get good whip. I'm no good with posting gifs, but looking through my collection, all lead with the elbow, some release that bend more than others. Will releasing the bend unlock potential speed, or is IR the...
