    Maggie Update - Help Appreciated

    Well, obviously everything that's going on has stunted progress. We got the hell out of dodge and retreated to my parents place out in the country. We're well off the beaten path, but we are getting some work in. I think she's making progress, but there's still something going on that I can't...

    Comeback Kid - Maggie Post ACL

    So, she was only allowed 10 swings today. I was at work when the wife sent the ones she got on video. I may have shed a few tears.

    3 10u Students - Feedback Appreciated

    Have 3 very talented kids I'm working with. Trying to get them to feel a proper sequence right now. All 3 of them coil as they load and bleed open, so as of today, they are all crowding the plate because they have MAJOR difficulties with anything on the outer half (and a lot of stuff down the...

    Penny for your thoughts...

    Read the story before you watch the videos so you'll know the scope of what's going on... During the past 2 summers, I've had the pleasure of working with a few college players that have been sent my way, and we have experienced some nominal success. I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE those successes are...

    Been A While - Need Some Advice

    So, I was last on DFP in 2014. It's been a WILD 6 years. DD (not so darling anymore considering she's a teenager full of attitude) is a Junior in high school and committed to play at Oklahoma State. Have 2 videos posted. One is of her swing at the beginning of last year, and the other is her...

    Newest Game Footage

    11 Year Old DD behind the dish. Like always...some good and some bad. They placed 2nd this weekend. Ran out of space on the memory card and missed a couple of really exciting plays at the plate on Sunday :mad: One where she made a lunging one armed tag to get a girl, a game ending 5-2-3...

    11 Year Old DD - Latest BP Video

    We've been hitting 2-3 times a week for about a month now. She's taking a much better swing with her to the plate now. She played this last weekend and hammered the ball. I was out of town for business, but my sister said she hit 2 that they thought were gone when they left the bat. Thank...

    Feedback Appreciated - 12u Darling Niece...DN???

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGZjNZWnVQT3gzQ00/edit?usp=sharing So, this is my first post on this section of the forum. Not saying it's going to be my last, but considering I don't have a DD that pitches, it is a possibility. I give to you, my niece. I would love to tell you...

    Fixin' to Fix Her Swing

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGeXQyMkNMRTBRVk0/edit?usp=sharing A little geographical humor there. HAHA!!! So, I got 5 swings here. The last two are the worst in my opinion, but the first three I believe are steps in the right direction. We were pressed for time because my...

    Still Working - But Hitting Some Snags

    So, there's been an evolution of DD's swing. The biggest changes have occurred whenever we haven't had much time to practice. She'll start developing a few bad habits here and there, and then we have to work that much harder to fix them. In this video, you'll notice the bat on her shoulder...

    Some More Game Footage - Be Gentle

    So, I have been gone for a while and haven't had a chance to get on and read. Thanks to all who respond to me. No thanks to whoever the person is that decided to be a jerk about how crappy my daughter's technique is. So, for your viewing pleasure, some more video. A little blocking, a...

    12U DD Game Footage

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGVGFtVlJqeklydTg/edit?usp=sharing She's 10 playing up. She's been struggling lately, but finally got the concept of letting the ball get a little deeper. I'm back at work today and she's already got a 3 RBI double, so something's clicking hopefully...

    Game footage - finally got some!!!!!

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGdnRmeGNsWFYtRmM/edit?usp=sharing I was finally able to be at a game, and actually get some good footage. Don't even know what to do with myself. So, this video is one of my favorites ever. Warm Up Throw is her best time. Pop = 2.31 seconds and...

    A Couple of Throwdowns

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGUkpUMUM4NlhRUjQ/edit?usp=sharing A couple of throwdowns. The first one is ok. Handling Time = 1.23. Pop Time = 2.47. Footwork a little better in the second one, but she didn't handle the ball well so it's much slower. Throws are both on target...

    Two Swings - 10Y DD playing 12U

    Ok, the first swing is from last Wednesday. We have talked about and worked on not letting the head of the bat drop back behind her which was making her drag it through the zone pretty badly. Second swing is what has come out of our work. Not perfect BY ANY MEANS. Still plenty of work to be...

    11 inch vs. 12 inch

    Has anyone that's made the transition to the bigger ball noticed that their DD throw it BETTER. Got rid of all the 11 inchers and started throwing the 12" this week. Ball seems like it EXPLODES out of her hand. Not sure if it's just a better fit or what, but you can hear it sizzling. Making...

    Morale Of The Story....

    ....don't get so far off of 3rd!!! Just got back from our first trip to Panama City Beach. Team played awful. DD couldn't hit water if she fell out of a boat. But, thanks to all the work she's put in, she was OUTSTANDING behind the plate. This is a quick video of DD picking a girl off...

    Catching Examples

    So, we have a "Model Swings" thread on the Technical Hitting Forum. There's the "Model Pitchers" thread on the Pitching Forum. Could we please get a "Model Catchers" thread in this one.....PRETTY PLEASE. I'd do it, but I'm not technical AT ALL, and really don't have enough time. I think this...

    Swings From This Weekend

    Quick little video of 3 swings from this weekend. Swing and a Miss. Swing and a Foul. Swing and a Double deep down the LF line. Slowed each of them down too. The girl she hit the double off of was throwing pretty hard, so she made a good adjustment on an inside pitch. Liking this Windows...
