PC, her swing reminds me of this time at work. I had ordered several packages a week earlier and finally after several days half of the packages showed up. I was irate to say the least. I told the fed ex man that would never happen with UPS! I didn't tell him that after the Southpark episode showing that amazon and ups delivery men are in cahoots to sell to our housewives and the delivery secretly sleep with them. Though I am not sure why I don't use them because I don't work with any females, even though I am sure Todd would love the chance to sleep with the UPS man.
Anyway the fed ex man (God help anyone who sleeps with him) was throwing packages up on the dock. Everything kept flying into the side of the dock door. I said " Dude, your hands are coming way out from your body, you are losing control and power." Here come to find out the guys sister in law used to live down the street from me. She was a few years behind me in school, the same class as Sally that I always wanted to date. Sally didnt know I existed though...oh my food just got to the table, chinese, hopefully not too spicy.
Anyway I hope that helps, tried to explain it in a way you would understand.

Yea...finally got a accurate evaluation... that I can understand... Thankz RHC. I am going to meditate on it tonight. I think I can fit in the Tech Hitting... Thx again !!!

So PC, does this mean that DFP peer pressure has caused you to deviate from the master plan and you've now decided not to wait until she's U14 to teach her how to hit???

HIP-HIP-HIP-HIP-hooray (hint)

PS - Did you re-model your kitchen or was the video shot in a real facility?

Team ain't doing nothing but hitting practice.... got a dome tourney in March... She has grown 1.5 inches since I said that about 14U.

Yes that was at a traditional hitting facility...our team is so conservative. I tell her this is how the old school guys do it. We use the kitchen for just grounders with a bumble ball, since we put a dent in frig. :{(( It's more the lab for our water distiller, where we make our ionized sports drink, and eye drops.

PC, you're a good sport.

I know I got it coming... Every time something gets canceled... DD I get into something. When she was little she would be crying. So I would wait for everyone to leave the park after our games were called for rain, and we would move all the tables in shelter house, and practice. She wanted to go do her pitching work out at the Y tonight, so the only thing I could do is post video and start thread.

Here is the first lost camera, after a game got canceled...to chilly for the shelter house, so we went to Y. I do alot of stuff in the house, because they frown on us working on our Softball stuff at the Y... :{))

Push down mechanics.....is she being taught that? If so, time to find another instructor...

Pull the ball down the circle and whip instead....AKA IR mechanics...

If you went in the house and threw from the living room down the hall into the kitchen,
she wouldn't have to wear that heavy sweatshirt... (prolly get 2 or 3 more mph)...

Speed ain't the problem.... just gotta get the rust off. Too much hitting practice. I think she's got the look of a long and lean pitching machine... :{))

I just had her throw a few, to get the clip...not wanting that to get embedded in the myelin ...it was really alittle to cold to be serious.

First I've heard of "push down" Thx

As soon as she pulls the ball out of her glove on the backswing, she straightens that arm right out. Maybe try to keep her hand in her glove until she is headed forward and MUST separate.
