I don't think it's really rushed. More like a double gather and hands get stuck behind her. Sometimes she doesn't. We have done the neck slot deal and at times pulls the hands away from her neck (spasm) seemingly to create more power.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. The reason I ask gather or launch well it can go a few different ways. On gather, it could be as simple as "slow and early" and launch, well do we need to set up an appointment with an optometrist? We went through that 10u phase many times. There were weekends where we'd see your 45-50mph one game and 56 the next. 60 a few times. I was very impressed.

Without video I'm gonna guess she's a bit late with her gather? Then gets in a hurry with her launch? If it is try a hover drill during front toss but being firm about removing the slack out first before you even toss the ball. Tee will be fine too. If you watch this gif, you'll notice that #3 is late from the start. She didn't remove that slack out in her gather. Instead she's striding out and still "pulling back". She's beat. I agree with stressing "slow and early". Just my opinion.

Yep they're out there. First one I seen was in Oklahoma and played for some Angel's program on the border of Texas and Oklahoma. Another 2 I seen was in Branson, MO. 1 was from Iowa and the other from Arkansas. That's just a few. My kid threw 54-56 at 10u.

I've seen 56 on a gun with my own two eyes so I believe 60 is possible..there are some BIG 10U girls..
My kid isn't big at all. 14 now 5'3 125ish still throws 56-58. We touched 61 a few weeks ago but was 60 during our session. I'm looking for movement tho. 60 gets rocked
