Ok... I know I might be shunned from this site but my DD is still throwing hello elbow. Being that we start tournaments in 28 days, it's too late to make big changes. Recently, I took my DD to a different local coach who would like to see her start her wind-up with the ball facing up palm up 6-8 O'clock. Currently she goes into her wind-up palm facing her leg. any real difference?
Thanks... I'm just a dumb dad on a bucket trying to learn.
Thoughts or opinions?
My daughter still throws well enough to get us through this season... but things have got to change this August.
So.. if you can get by the not throwing IR... any thoughts on the arm circle?
I have recently deleted a lot of my videos... I'll have to get a few side shots this week.

Thanks in advance! I'll keep going through threads to search for help on this
one more side question... how do I post these in slow motion? It seems my slow motion videos don't play in slow motion on here.
"It's too late to make big changes".....IMHO It's never too late! Yes you might suffer through the changes but the end result will be much better. We did a major overhaul of our DD's pitching mechanics 1 year ago....two weeks before our season started. Horrible timing...Absolutely. Did we suffer a little in the beginning?...Yes. but mostly just a speed decline for awhile.
If you wait until the end of the season you've spent that much more time reinforcing poor mechanics.
Best decision we ever did. Now her mechanics and results are that much more improved. You'll always be refining and improving. Don't be afraid to make changes. And just say NO to HE.
Good luck!
