DD has been periodically crow hopping the past few weeks due to a change in her delivery. The delivery change was necessary as it has improved her location and control but messed up her timing and the result was the crow hop. PC came up with an innovative practice routine last night that is helping her recognize when she does it. She took a second portable pitching plate and hammered it down about 6 inches in front of the permanent plate. If you visualize it her toe touches the back of the second plate and her heel is in the proper position on the permanent plate. If DD takes the crow hop it forces her drive foot up and the tactile feedback lets her know immediately. She practiced about 30 pitches with the second plate in place and then took 30 more pitches with the plate removed. Once removed 0 crow hops.
