Last year DD had great form hitting off the tee but in a game she looked terrible. DW took pictures and we could see she was kind of lunging below the waist (bent front knee) and straight up and down at the waist or leaning over the plate (not tilting at the waist).
This winter she looks good on the Tee again but I'm working on front toss with her- pitching from behind a screen or front-tossing TCBs. So far so good but we have a ways to go.
Anyone who wants to pitch to their kid and doesn't have a lot of room and/or isn't the best pitcher, I highly recommend getting a dozen TCB s (Total Control Balls) in the baseball size. They are a little pricey but they are great! I don't remember when I got mine but I've only lost one and that was at an indoor practice when ( I believe) a players little sibling decided to bring one home. These are great for warmups before games and tournaments. some kids love them and some kids hate them because they won't go far when they hit them. They dont recommend throwing them fast, but I have thrown fast toss to simulate fast pitching and haven't had any problems with U14 - U18.
