    10U DD Swing

    She def has a habit of loading hands at the same time as her bottom half load. And always working on getting that overlap with her pull back and advance. Not sure I understand your first sentence. We have been trying to get her to time the pitcher not the ball. Start her advance at release.

    10U DD Swing

    Here is a quick clip of my DDs lesson with Justin Stone yesterday. Thought some might be interested. For reference, she just turned 12 last month. This was her last swing of the hour. -He moved her elbow up in her stance. She had been elbow down more. Thinking is it will put her closer to a...

    Would love feedback on improving my 10yr old

    This is probably the one that's talked about most on here. And has worked for my DD.

    Need help/in game cut

    My 12 yo DD is going through the same process. Trying to get more separation from top and bottom half. Trying to understand the 'walking away from the hands'. When it's done correctly the increase in torque and power is amazing. We notice that from front toss and even off the tee. Perfecting it...

    Squash the bug - story

    This could have been 2009 me that posted this. Lol...That mindset was way too popular in trying to help young kids get their bottom half involved in their swing. Because that's the action people 'thought' was going on.

    How to help with timing the pitcher..

    Totally right on with everything. From her having success up until the pitching got faster to her just reacting. I think the BP at club practice is almost hurting her because she gets reprimanded for swinging at balls and the coaches aren't always the most accurate. Not a gripe with the coaches...

    How to help with timing the pitcher..

    Ok. Thank you. They did that in her lesson and she did well. But they just pitch to them at club practice. We will work on that on our own.

    How to help with timing the pitcher..

    Ok..having trouble following that...I agree with the 'reaction' thing. That is exactly what is happening. You're saying I should just have her swing at everything? At least as a mindset. Then react to not swinging at balls?

    How to help with timing the pitcher..

    So...my daughter has rebuilt her swing over the winter. The sequence was good. She was getting a good scap load. All is good...off the tee. Now, trying to transfer this to live pitching it's all falling apart. She isn't getting into any kind of load fast enough and everything ends up way too...

    Send to hall of shame. For step 2 alone.

    I apologize. I mistakenly overtook this thread. This thread should only pertain to Eric Fs Maddie. Any advice for my DD should be made to http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-hitting-technical/23347-10u-dd-swing.html

    11yo Maddie

    I think she should start the load earlier and slower. Since this load includes knee flexion at this point, yes, the knee flexion should be earlier and should only be happening during the negative move, not during the positive move. While this knee flexion in and of itself doesn't bother me...

    11yo Maddie

    In my DDs case it wasn't something that was taught to her. I think it's just a comfort thing. Staying taller helps her stay more relaxed at the start. She WAS taught to coil around her back hip and not sway back laterally. I think this teach may have led to her sinking down a little more than...

    11yo Maddie

    While I'll agree it's wasted motion, I have always thought the load process was an individualized and personalized movement. Doesn't matter how you get to launch, as long as you get the coil happening, which I think she does. I just think she needs to move that startup process up in the timeline...

    11yo Maddie

    Agreed. We try and set up her hitting (and taking) against pitchers on her team. That's what that video above is from. It's nice to do it off a 'real' pitcher as opposed to even a coach pitching because the windup is usually not a 'game' type windup, if that makes sense...

    11yo Maddie

    She definitely knows the concept. We have done take/hit drills off the tee for weeks. She starts her stride and I say either take or hit during the stride. That has really helped. Her motion and timing is definitely consistent vs live pitching. It's just that it starts too late. She's still in...

    11yo Maddie

    I'm trying. Your key of 'starting the process early doesn't mean commitment to the swing' is huge. We do take/hit drills all the time and slo mo feet together drills..Have never really told her to concentrate on making that load movement extra slow. I think that could be the answer for her.

    11yo Maddie

    Love that she's watching video on the way to school...lol...I have to pick the right times to go over video with her. It definitely does help her understand what's going on though. I just need to get her moving while the pitcher is moving..having that slow load get started. Hard to do with...
