    Leaping? Or replanting?

    Sorry... Landing toe to heel vs on the heel. (plant foot)

    Leaping? Or replanting?

    For us there is a step and full arm swing through the circle. It is generally used for warming up and to work on whip, posture, FSR, toe to heel etc.). Its one step in the process 3/4's of the way through the progression to a full pitch. For instance, we wouldn't start learning the rise ball at...

    Leaping? Or replanting?

    I'm in line with daywalkerdad. We have measured it. (not a sling shot, but a 3/4 motion) In fact we have struggled with over "striding" (while trying to improve "drive") which has resulted in poor timing, FSR and release posture. These fundamental issues do not help speed, spin or spot.

    Leaping? Or replanting?

    Appreciate the feedback and perspective from a respected PC. Our PC is staying the course with the sound fundamentals we have been working on. It just kind of astonished me how many girls in our area have made that transition already. I can see the benefit of being closer to the batter at...

    Leaping? Or replanting?

    Yesterday at my DD's club practice, I noticed about 75% of the pitchers have adopted this leaping style. (not my DD) I am curious if anyone here has made that transition, and what the experience has been like. Speed increases? Improved spin and spot? Would be curious too, if any PC's here have...

    Best Setup to Shoot Game Footage of Pitchers

    Our pitching coach has encouraged us to start taking video from the TV angle in left center field. (RH pitcher. I imagine for a lefty you could go to RCF) I purchased an inexpensive monocular and tri-pod. The package came with a cell phone mount for the monocular and a blue tooth remote. Not...

    Internal Rotation College Pitchers to watch this Spring

    This is a nice tip of the cap to JAVA, but I agree most at that level have great whip. These two examples are elite spinners for sure though.

    Pitching Issue

    I'm no expert, but my 12u DD is going through the same thing. Pitching instructors had a couple of ideas, but hips being too open (pointed to 3rd base RH) at release seems to be the biggest culprit after working on it. In the drive phase our cue is drive with the right hip. If she gets to 45...

    Tournament camping?

    Yes, 5 summer tournaments. 3 travel 2 local. Again, kind of new to the process and unsure of what to expect and the norms. I just assumed thats why they call it TB. lol

    Tournament camping?

    We have 3 aways scheduled and the first hotel I booked that the team had a block for was close to $600 for 2 nights. Just got me thinking...

    My tent days are over and this sounds like a lot of fun!

    Tournament camping?

    I don't think my wife or I want to miss a single inning, but I do like the way you roll...

    Tournament camping?

    I like the house idea a lot.

    Tournament camping?

    Yeah, I was thinking rv/trailer.

    Tournament camping?

    Yeah, I guess one of the hard parts going into this year, is we have no sense of what the travel dynamic will be like with this team. Most everyone is new to the org. Only 2 returning players. I think this is why I am kind of thinking out of the box.

    Tournament camping?

    Hey everyone- Just starting to get our schedules lined up for this years TB schedule (12u). This is our first real experience with a decent club. I am having a little sticker shock on the cost of hotels. While we can afford a few trips to a hotel, I am wondering what some of the pro's and con's...

    Michael Lewis's audio book about travel softball; playing to win

    Thanks for the recommendation. Just buzzed through the book. As a father of a 10year old DD, who is starting down the competitive softball trail, I really enjoyed the perspective the book offers. I have and hope to continue to strive for balance in her life. (or I'm going to take a look at her...
