Bruising Hip Help

[bmd]

Also would pointed the ball back to second on the back swing (back of hand facing catching) help achieve this?

Hows it going? My dd went the same issue. Here is in interesting thread regarding the same

Seems how her elbow is tucked more behind the glute than before she grew. Maybe her hips are larger now. That’s good. However her arm motion is the same. Meaning, she lacks internal rotation and deceleration of the upper arm at point of contact. So she is more slamming her elbow into her side vs allowing it to brush or roll around it. My dd did this for awhile. Bruises and pain. Same stuff. It’s hard to watch.
Some mentioned ball up at 9. That’s great but you may find the point of her elbow may jam into her hip bone. She has to learn to internally rotate that upper arm around contact to avoid smashing it into herself.
Lock it in drill focusing solely on IR is what helped us. Then do the same with the 9 o’clock drill focusing only on the IR component.
JMHO.

Thanks for the response! Things are on the mend and she seems to be working through it. Much of it had to do with too much elbow bend at the beginning then some lean too.

Awesome, thank you! She seems to be working through it now, was some timing mechanical issues along with the growth. I will check out this post!
