This is probably Dumb but what am I missing

[dmaeganx2]

I am trying to figure out how to get My DD to understand the role of the back leg. Shes getting closer "I think" But I am trying to figure a good way to get her to understand The pulling of the back leg down the line.

Is Her front side getting better to you guys or am I still missing something ??

Back side isn't bad. Front side looks good. She is looking good overall. Don't get caught up in making changes daily. Show her images of model pitchers have her describe to you what she sees and how she feels pitching. This is a marathon. Celebrate her success so far. Once again lookin good!

The reason I asked was Because Is her rear foot on the side to much I mean I know finch and pauly are like that but is it a big problem or can it be left alone and it will disappear on its own

She's coming along nicely, D. You've become a good contributor here, too. Really appreciate that.

She's definitely doing some good things with her drive. Get her lean started prior to getting into the backswing. Her body should be moving forward, before her arm passes her side during the backswing.

Backside looks better... still needs to adduct both arms...

Finch and Pauly are both pretty good .

Tell her to think about showing her laces on her drive foot toward the third base line. Dragging on the side of her big toe. Some say drive the back knee into the front, others say calf to calf, still others back toe to front instep. I personally focus on hip and shoulder angle at release and not leaving the backside behind.

Yes she is starting to understand the Lean and the overlap.

I have asked her about the glove arm abduction and she tells me everytime she is Then I just Smile. I guess she means she is adducting the upper arm and just holding the bend at her elbow

But thank you Java

Perhaps changing the cue/association will help. Should be working the elbows down and in... but in the event that is not working for her as a cue... try the wrists, hands... and wait!... I know... tell her to whack her thigh with her glove! That ought turn this thread into a 20-pager... lol

She used to "Whack her thigh with her glove" but when she started trying to firm up her front side she also firmed up her glove hand

JS

to adduct the glove side arm, should the glove also be pointing up @3 same way the pitching arm is @9?
