Thanks for the help on previous questions! I think we're moving in the right direction. We are hitting a new issue and looking for suggestions to help fix it.
We've just started back after about 3 months off. DD is able to pitch in the 41 - 44 mph range with no issues. If she jumps up to the 46 - 49 mph range (where she really focuses on whipping the ball) she starts hitting her hip too hard during the BI part of her motion. This caused a bruise, and we've been working on letting it heal as well as to figure out how best to avoid it in the future.
A few questions I have are:
1. From this video can anyone see anything mechanically that could be causing a harder hit than is normal?
2. If this is just due to being off for a while (and a recent growth spurt) should we push through and eventually the body will adjust / not be sore?
3. If mechanically she's looking okay, any harm to adding some padding for her or might it encourage bad mechanics?
Thanks!
