How would you teach a no stride? Have always disliked the no stride approach but think it maybe best for my DD.

LOL. Do you teach anything on how to load? Roll up on your foot? Any thing other than stand there and hit.

If roll up on your foot = showing your heel to the pitcher, then yes, that’s how I have done it and would teach it.

It may not be the best way to get a player to load into/around their rear leg, but the tension that’s created by the heel raise helps get (forces?) the lower half to be active during the swing.

And it may serve as a simpler timing mechanism than a stride.

What is the issue with her stride presently? Early? Lunging? Video?

It could be as simple as getting her front knee under her front hip during her move out. Or coiling to ‘hold’ the weight back until it is needed. Or both.

I routinely switch back and forth between a stride and no-stride approach.

For me, my front heel becomes lifted.

Do you mean you switch back and forth for the same hitters?

The reason I ask is we have been doing no stride drills and feel like we have made nice advances this way re suddenness and eliminating pendulum loading
