Switching pc progress?

[Sem]

How long should I expect it to take for my 13 yo dd to start showing improvements when switching pitching styles? She just started with a new pc and is going from the open and close to now staying open. I made the decision to try to gain some velocity (which I thought was not happening with the other pc) and hopefully a little more movement on her breaking pitches. Her breaking pitches were moving but just not consistent. I hope I've made the right choice and that she'll be ready for summer ball.

it depends upon how much she works outside of lessons. She needs to be working 5 days a week.

Staying open is right move... I have been just over 30 days w/ my DD switching from closed to open... It's been a job...just now starting to see results...she has been working 5 days a week for 1-2 hrs.

Give her 3-4 months. Make sure she's practicing. She doesn't have to practice until she's sore, but she must practice often. 20 minutes 5 days a week is better then 2 hours twice a week.

I was thinking more like 30 days. Right now she's pitching 2 days a week, team practice once a week, working out twice a week, and doing about 30 minutes of pitching drills daily.

Here's my DD at a little over 30 days coverting from a closed to a open style...

Glad you asked then. 3 months.

Should have said I was hoping. Thanks

Mine took about 4 months going from step to L&D. 4 months for the mechanics to be settled in and her speed to increase from where she was at the step style.
