Hello all and please forgive me if this has been covered already. I just found this site last night and am already hooked on it. My DD is 10 and has been pitching for about 9 months. With any luck I will get a vid of her for you all to critique in the next few weeks. She throws about 45mph clocked with a gun and rev ball too. I can't rember her spin, maybe about 14 but not sure. She has been taught the horseshoe-C grip change up by her PC. She also is working on a peel drop. Ok, back to my question. We have been to two clinic and at both of them, the instructors said the flip is the best change up. they say the batter sees back spin and can't pick up thats is a change up as with the push type the batter see no or very little spin and knows its a change up very quickly and can wait on it. The PC says you can't control a flip change and the push is easier to control.
I'm hoping to get everyones opinion on this.
Also, i can't wait to read all the IR threads...because as you have guessed, point your elbow at the catcher is what she has been taught on her fastball.
Thanks for now, i'm sure i'll be posting on her quite often.
