I see both in college pitchers. The hip will always have the opportunity to beat the hand, that's just the timing of things. Some teach to get inside the hip, some teach to just get a piece of the hip. I think as long as your not throwing around it your ok.She doesn't step straight .
What I've taught her is not to get turned on the rubber...drive straight out and snap stop the hips to a 45....I don't see the High Level pitchers doing what Bill says ...the clips obviously have the hips ahead of the hand to allow for that brush at the hip....Sideways and then the ball is ahead of the hips makes no sense to me. When my dd thinks get open...sideways...the drive is compromised.
The clip of Amanda she is driving out and her hips get sideways then snap back to a 45 at landing.
That's what I'm seeing...the hips beat the hand.
