DD 06 pitching evaluation needed

Welcome to Discuss Fastpitch

Your FREE Account is waiting to the Best Softball Community on the Web.

I have learned a lot from reading this site. Tried to implement what I have learned into teaching my dd. I realize I need help moving to the next level. She is an 06 just made 12. In practice never gets over 49 in game consistently 52. Any help would be greatly appreciated try to be specific because I know other dads are reading and learning as I have.

Couple of things I see;
She needs to explode off the rubber,
You can see she's late in detachment, well past 3 o'clock. Try to get that drive leg extended by 3.


She could be alittle more open at the top of the circle.


Other than those small things, I believe she looks great

Thanks I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out why her drive looks so weak we used to do the drill by Amanda but started working on brush interference and front side resistance forgot to emphasize that drill needed to be continued. When she read your responses her eyes lit up and said yea that should help. As far as shaker1 suggested about opening hips at 12 I’m working on that very slowly so far when she gets open back knee points to 3rd she drags side of foot butt goes out and she leans over. I don’t understand how just a little turn can totally explode a decent form. I do try get her to open a little at a time. Thanks for helpful post keep them coming

Imo, the hips are fine, let the shoulders follow the hips. Pay attention to the knee throughout the pitch

I think tweaking her sequence could help with this. Develop overlap by changing the timing of the backswing. Try pumping the hands forward as the heel drops as a start.
