    Hitting against live pitching in practice?

    just to clarify, i mean your hitters facing your pitchers. Not a pitching machine.

    Hitting off of live pitching at practices??

    yes i mean your pitchers are just curious, why do you think it's not good for pitchers or hitters?

    Hitting against live pitching in practice?

    I'm trying to find out if many teams have their hitters face live pitching in practice? If so, how often and what age group? I currently help coach a 12u travel team and we do not see live pitching at all in practice and i'm just curious if this is the norm. I feel like our hitters never really...

    Hitting off of live pitching at practices??

    Just like the title says, how many coaches here have their hitters face live pitching in practices, and how often? Please also let me know what age group you coach. I am helping coaching a 12u travel team

    Thanks a bunch for the insight! I really appreciate it and will work on implementing those suggestions.

    12yo DD Swing

    I wanted to update you all. We’ve been working since the last video I posted a few months ago on trying to correct her posture and get her to use her hips properly and TTB. We still have a lot of work to do, but I wanted to see what you all thought.

    Rear leg at heel plant?? Help

    Thanks for the replies everyone. When I say a “straight back leg” I mean that at heel plant he wants her rear knee locked. It does sort of seem like a shift and then swing sort of method. It seems to me like that style doesn't give you much adjustability in the swing and it doesn't seem to allow...

    Rear leg at heel plant?? Help

    So my DD’s hitting instructor has always taught her to sort of fall forward to heel plant and lock the back leg. She’s been doing this for a while but as I’m starting to try to understand how the lower half works in the swing I’m not sure if this is correct. A straight leg doesn’t feel like...

    Thank you all for taking the time. I can see the general consensus is that we need to work on TTB next.

    12yo DD Swing

    Thank you, I really like the explanation of the barrel turn in that video you posted. That's very helpful. I think that's definitely what we will be addressing next.

    12yo DD Swing

    So we’ve been working some on her posture and making some tweaks here and there. Trying to get rid of that reverse C when she finished. Trying to get her to hit the ball more out in front too. We’ve still got plenty to do, but wanted to see what you all think about the changes and where we...

    Book recommendations

    Just wondering if there are any books on hitting that you would recommend? I’ve got Ted Williams’ book but I was looking for something a little more current. Thanks!

    12yo DD Swing

    That's great! Thank you so much for taking all that time to explain it. I think I understand better the sequence and can help communicate that to her better. Thanks again!!

    12yo DD Swing

    The nose in front of the belly button until toe touch is what she's been taught to do, but over time her movements have gotten kinda sloppy. Gotta reign that in! I agree that she doesn't seem to be rotating correctly. I don't think she fully understands the rotating part so I think I need to...

    12yo DD Swing

    Thanks, she hits great during games. One of the top hitters on her team and consistently hits doubles and triples. I know she has the power to hit the ball farther but she's disconnected in a few places and that's sapping the power from her swing IMO. I totally agree with the posture being bad...

    12yo DD Swing

    sorry i don't have any recent clips of her in live action. I'll see if i can come up with something this weekend at practice

    12yo DD Swing

    i agree with both points Shawn. She gains too much ground with the back foot and i think if that were corrected she might not be so far forward.

    12yo DD Swing

    Hey folks, long time lurker here. I’ve always gotten great information from this forum and I was hoping you all could take a look at her swing and give me your thoughts. Sorry I don’t have the video in GIF format

    Thoughts on 10u DD swing

    Nice! That makes so much more sense to me. Thank you.

    Thoughts on 10u DD swing

    Thanks fellas, I'll try and implement those suggestions. I like the Bonds example. As far as getting her to swing against live pitch the way she does off the tee, is it just reps reps reps...and then more reps? And to adjust to faster speed she just needs to see faster speed more often?
