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.

Got Ya...Thxx!!!

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.

Perfect analysis Harry Cary!
All I can say is BALANCE.

The Hillhouse video influence is interesting to see.

Just curious why did you not use the feet starting position he recommended?

She does... We just got a little warm weather, so we ran out to shot this, it was too muddy,so we went out front and I got the idea for a post on the "pitching mats" thread. She was a little unsure about making the jump to the other slab. I measured and knew it was well in her range to glide right over it. She wasn't using the raised slab to push off like a starting block either, like I thought she would. She said she didn't want to tear the toe on tennis shoe, as to why she plow horsed... I wasn't happy with the throwing her arm way past her hip, and clear up to 1:00, and dead straight. This is where we started out pitching 2 years ago..... I would park cars, so she would control her pitches without being told, and hit mine instead of the neighbor. They were looking out the windows thinking "oh no not again, twice as hard now" I'm sure. She used to bring arm back like that when we started, she must have had a relapse...lol :{))
