    Looking for a little more speed... who isn't I guess. :)

    She is doing really well with accuracy and spins but is looking for a few more mph. Looking for any feedback or tips from this in-game vid. Two different angles in the vid. Thanks in advance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IpAeJ0XgRkE

    Swing help needed

    Hello all, My daughter is 13. She is a pitcher in 14U and almost all of our focus has been on pitching. I feel like I am able to guide her with that pretty well based off of what I learn from her pitching coach. Her hitting needs help. I looked on the site here for something like a "top 5...

    Slow mo camera advice

    Hey all, Been awhile since I have posted but I have a question about utilizing slow mo camera footage. I really want to get good enough quality to see my daughter's hand motion and release of the ball. I think there is something funky going on there but I can't tell for sure. So how do I do...

    New team. New HE coach dilemma.

    I know this subject has been discussed on here before and that I am not treading new ground but any advice would be helpful. My daughter is currently trying out for a team. The coach is a young former pitcher. She likes to give instruction to the pitchers. There are 4 pitchers right now and my...

    Drive foot placement

    I've always taught my daughter to place her drive foot on the rubber with the ball of her drive foot just on the edge. This allows her to push off the rubber with the ball of her foot (toes). I am seeing a lot of pitchers these days with only the heel of the drive foot touching the rubber (not...

    04 DD looking for a 12u team to work with near NW NC.

    I have a 04 DD pitcher, looking for a team in NW NC to work with in these cold months. Willing to travel since I realize there isn't much in this area. Thank you.

    Hips open or closed?

    Hey all, Let me start again with giant THANK YOU for all you do on here. I can't tell you what an aid it has been for me and DD this winter. Anyway, my question is in relation to the hips. There are some active threads on this forum right now touching on it. I have also read a lot of...

    Second month vids and question

    Hey all, My DD is in the second month of the HE -> IR conversion. Progress has been made but of course there is still a long way to go. I'm linking a couple of vids from her throwing yesterday. It was 35 degrees and she was out there pitching in shorts. Gotta love the drive. :) Anyway...

    Slow progress but BI struggles?

    It's been close to three weeks now that I have been converting DD from HE to I/R. We have mainly focused on the I/R motion and throwing underhanded so far. I am letting things like push and toe drag rest right now until we get the HE out of her. She's showing pretty good progress on the I/R...

    I/R Change Up

    Hey all, What is the recommended change up style for the I/R arm motion. I feel like the change up that I was having my DD learn with HE is not very conducive with I/R. Thanks.

    Our offseason begins... now to IR work

    So, my DD's fall season ended Sunday and it's time for me to really start converting her to IR from HE. I've snuck a few things in already but I didn't want to screw her accuracy up too much while she was having to pitch in games. Anyway, I have been reading posts on this site for about a...

    Almost Starting Over :)

    Ok so after looking through all stickys and a lot of what are think are relative vid links, I think I know what to start working on with my DD. As I mentioned before, she is 11 and started pitching in May. I've looked at vids of her after reading everything here and I think the top 3 things I...

    New to site

    Hey all. I just came across this site and read a few of the threads. I'm super excited. My DD (who is 11) started pitching in May and I have been working with her since. I've seen every crazy youtube pitching vid out there and finally thought to look for a forum of people that might be going...
