Keeping the Front Shoulder Down during Stride

[Cornbread]

From last night. Pitcher was topping at 62. I’ve always taught the front foot up is the timing mechanism. Hers is up early and down well before the ball is half way. Foot up when ball is at top of circle? How would y’all address this early timing?

she is to toe touch before half way, and to heal plant at half way. then she drifts some? She might be just adjusting to faster pitching and trying to get going sooner than normal?

She just needs to start it later.. Maybe try the WW approach (hitting plan) where you are timing fb middle/away and see if that makes a difference.

She always does this lol! Always starts too early. Slower pitching where’s her out

Maybe, but she wasn't fooled and her timing looked good. Never compromised her fyb position.

If she’s hitting, don’t address anything until you gotta month off or at least a few weeks. I would have her load later. Make her shorten up naturally. The S load is money. Carry’s the hips forward then stretches them vertically w a good front leg and minimal frontal plane movement.

Do you think its from a forward only shift mentality? Not saying its wrong just curious of your thoughts?

Edit: W is right by doing nothing if she is hitting pretty consistent.
