    Yes, please.

    Drive Mechanics

    There seems to be a lot of gray area on this. The roll of the stride leg is not as defined as that of the drive leg. Not only what the specific needed movements of the stride leg but also the timing is not discussed as much as needed.

    UCLA Loaded - Bubba Nickels

    That is awesome, I wouldn't have ever guessed that.

    LXT feels too heavy

    Couple of things here, the Demarini is at or under advertised weight and the LXT is over weight. Also the swing weight (balance or lack of) is quite a bit more on the LXT. We have 30/20 in CF8, LXT, and '11 Easton Stealth and the difference between each is a LOT.

    Gerry Glasco - to be new ULL head coach

    I like Glasco but I was a Lotief fan before I liked ULL and don't like the way things went and won't be pulling for them.

    How do you get shoulders to come back at explosion?

    Rh pitcher missing short and right often

    For my DD, it means she let her upper body(weight) go with her front leg, which puts her in an awkward position with the ball stuck behind her at release.

    Pre-motion body lean foward

    There is a lot of difference between a bend and a lean. Lean gets you shin angle which directs the force exerted forward. Bend can be good or bad especially in younger girls. Some bend instead of lean, which not only doesn't give a positive shin angle but creates a weight forward issue they...

    DD update

    Yes Dusty, yes has taken lessons from a Tincher instructor. You are also correct on the early turn out of the pivot foot, we have struggled with it for a while. I like the step and go idea, we will try it. IR still has a ways to go as well. Everything she does looks unnatural and force dj :D...

    2017 Louisville Slugger LXT Hyper 30/20

    I bought this bat from KneeHighSocks, he had bought from Core 6/16/16 I have receipt. Bat is in good condition as my 5'2 82 lb DD has never harmed a bat in her life. Does have small chip in paint on handle. Plenty of pop, DD swings a Demarini better due to lighter weight and even balance. $175...

    What is Tincher pitching

    I drive my 12yo DD 4 hours each way to a Tincher certified instructor here in Texas. I am very happy with results. There are a lot of pitching instructors in East Texas but none that I have found were in her class.

    More pitcher help

    Heck, I wish my 12 yo DD had mechanics that nice.

    FloSoftball Streaming PGF Games

    Yes it is in my opinion. I've had my subscription over a year and feel that it is worth it. The commentary is minimal but they are getting better it seems.

    12u PGF conternders

    I still like the Hotshots, they have a good team.

    Role of the drive leg after drive?

    Is it an active movement of that leg pulling itself forward or should it's movement be a byproduct of the drive itself? I know some instructors teach that pulling the rear leg forward to be a conscious effort.

    Perfect circle training aid

    We use the folded duck tape on the leg. It works well, especially for younger pitchers. Only use it periodically, but I like it.

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    I also have lost all respect for the Gators. I really liked them til recently but the same issues you mention make me want to see them get beat. It's a shame too, I really like Delanie Gourley but not enough to offset the other issues.

    The Matty Moss Thread

    I don't like his strike zone at all.
