Hello. First off....great board!! Lots of information here.
I have two daughters 13 and 15 that pitch. They both play travel ball and have had some success, but have some base mechanics problems that I am having difficulties solving.
Biggest problem. Hip/shoulder open/close sequencing. They are not consistently getting the step foot on the power line and then are also snapping the hip shut early and/or just never getting it open properly as they are hitting the hip with the pitching arm on a regular basis.
I watched a few videos and it looks like they are rotating the hip and shoulders instead of sliding shut and kicking back with the drag foot it appears.
Please provide any feedback or drills that I can use to get this problem solved.
Thanks in advance!!
