Any miracles? Hitting hip: good pitcher to poor pitcher in 2 weeks

[Ken B]

In this shot, her torso is in a forward leaning orientation that is difficult to overcome:




At about 3 o'clock, try to feel like the hips are under, or just ahead of the shoulders to begin setting up the posture for plant:


(Ricketts might be a touch too much, but I think it's a good visualization to think about.)

At plant, firm up and resist all upper body motion/forward effort and stay stacked in line with and behind the plant foot:






At this point in her development, resist forward and rotational effort after release:



All of these concepts can be reinforced during backchaining, with the exception of driving squarely to the target--that is for walk ins and full motion drive only. Up close with half or quarter whips, start at 45 and end at 45.

You're a huge help Ken, James and everyone else who's taken the time to discuss her pitching issues. There's a lot to work on here but she's not one who's afraid to put in the work. We'll get this fixed hopefully sooner than later.
Thank you all again!
I'll keep everyone updated as WE both learn how to pitch properly.

I just wanted to add on the thought of keeping the hips under the body. I agree she is off line with the drive and taking the hips away from the arm. The hips should stay under the body (upperbody). I think the mis guided effort to take the hips away from the arm and to the left while opening, creates the issue your having.

Any updates?

Good stuff Ken, thanks! I actually found this thread before I posted. Definitely working on firming up but she's dealing with some back issues(hereditary) that make it hard for her at the moment but it's on the list of things to do.
