I like the late/great Ernie Parker Series. One or two of the set are also with Bob Todd (if not mistaking).

Dragoncoach,

xxxYerOut,
The late/great Ernie Parker? Has he passed? I think I have all the Maven Video DVDs. I'm not sure they would still be "Top Three" candidates, but I sure benefitted from them. The ones I have go back to the 90s, before affordable high speed video allowed those smarter than me to study and explain what is really occurring. I think Parker is still with us, and I will take this opportunity to thank him.

Ernie Parker is still giving lessons in our area.
If the videos are of the same material she presented in her book "The Pitchers Edge", then IMO yes. Her explanations of the power line, posture, stride, etc are good. Her "hold the glass of water" on the way down on the backside of the windmill is IR Lite but much better than the hand on top of the ball style. Not a bad starting point.
You cant go too far wrong with Hillhouse or Michell Smith videos
My mistake and very glad to hear he is still with us. I thought I had heard other a few years ago and thought we had lost a legend. We have also had his DVD series for quite a while (since before you could find just about whatever you were looking for on YouTube).
We have used his material for the drills and reinforcement on what has been taught more than anything and leave the teaching to the pros. Knowing more now than we did before, I am sure Mr Hillhouse has plenty of great information that your girls can benefit from.
DD was out of the circle for a little over a year and is back at it in HS and had no idea there were so many so willing to share their wealth of knowledge on this forum. It is great to be on an informative site without all the chest thumping about who has the best 10u team. (ha) Thank you all!.
Is Michelle Smith a figure 4 style instructor?
