My 14 year old dd has been coached by an assistant high school coach for the last several years. He told her as a freshman, she will likely be the team's second pitcher. He has taught her to pitch palm down, bowling release and touch throwing shoulder with success. I read the internal rotation thread and tried to incorporate the concepts with my dd during the last group session. He did not buy into internal rotation concepts despite me showing him some information about internal rotation. Tonight as we were working on 12 oclock to release, he told her in not so friendly of a tone that she will lose at least 5 mph on her fast ball if she fails to throw with a straight arm back to second with palm on top of the ball with palm down to release. She was somewhat upset as I have shown her what elite pitchers do, and it does not appear to be palm down bowling. Needless to say, I am a bit frustrated. The coach has spent alot of free time with my daughter, which I greatly appreciate, but I'm not buying his techniques the more I learn. Anyhow, I'm awaiting Hillhouse's video and looking for coaches. Actually I live about 1 hour south of Bill Hillhouse so we may be seeing him. Sorry for the long post but can anyone recommend an instructor in the New Castle PA area? Looked on the registry but didnt see any close. I have asked around however most appear to be teaching palm down bowling technique in my area. Thanks
