Cool! And the link works. I haven't down loaded the app, but I will, now. It is hard to tell too much from the rear view, but i would have her get her grip, in the glove. That will help hide it. She swims the glove out a little, but not bad. I look forward to seeing more shots of her.
I noticed the pitch went inside. She needs to stay open through the release. She is falling off to the right prior to the ball leaving her hand and this is forcing the ball inside. Stay down the powerline and this will also help her speed if she drives the right side into a firm left side through release. If you post a side view it would be helpful in showing any flaws in her motion.

I can't get the video to play? It takes me to the link and then says," video is not a DIV-X file". I'm on Google Chrome and Safari and neither will play it. I'm I missing a plug in? I play with videos and "think" I have all the players and flash drives that most applications use.
I'm on Safari, I am just clicking the arrow.
Works just fine on my iPhone.
She looks really solid in this video. She is exploding and staying in her pitching plane throughout on this pitch. Nice job.
(I think I've written this same post a 100 times...)
Softball pitching is about momentum transfer. Imagine that you have a brick on the dashboard of your car and you want it to go through you front windshield. Do you slam on the brakes or do you slowly stop the car?
Basically, pitching is about getting the pitcher's body moving on a nice, straight line toward the plate, and then stopping the body, allowing only the arm to move. The body's entire momentum is transferred to arm, generating a great deal of speed.
What your DD is doing is coming forward after release of the ball. That means that some of her momentum is not being transferred to the arm, causing her to lose arm speed.
Here is Cat Osterman. Pay close attention to her *LOWER BODY* as she releases the ball. Notice that her left leg never gets ahead of her right leg. She doesn't come forward after release.

Your DD, on the other hand, continues to move forward after release. She is stumbling forward, so she is losing quite a bit of speed.
