Don't mean to side track this at all, but I think it's pertinent. What do you guys think about the possible relationship with the front foot being pointed more forward and the struggle with getting enough front side resistance. This is something I'm working on my own DD who gets squishy and doesn't get great brush. My theory I'm working on is if it's harder to firm up with knee point more toward catcher and if the foot pointing more toward the catcher is also forcing body closed sooner and decreasing brush . . . still a work in progress, but these comparison shots were interesting along with my thinking.
And on a complete side note, starting out a full 8 inches in front of the rubber is nice if you can get away with it
Co2012 you have made a great observation in your pitcher's front side resistance (link to her thread BTW). Notice the difference in her collapsing knee vs. the college level girls:
I don't think you need to change her front foot angle, instead you could probably focus harder on pushing back with her front leg as she plants. I'm glad you brought this topic up as this clip set will be good for my kid as well!
