Thread bump...because we are soooo struggling with getting the hips to "snap" as Rick P. instructs. DD is still keeping the hips open (to 3rd RHP) and consequently dragging her drive leg like an anchor. I believe this to be legacy muscle memory from learning HE and is impedding progess of IR-ing. She does this great from one step(full arm circle, no drive sequence) or a K position but her brain must liquify in full motion and pour out her ear because video shows she does not "snap" or lead the hips into the pitch. I am ready to tell her pitch the season without full motion as she doesnt lose much speed and I am afraid she will continue to solidify this bad habit.
Anyone have any specific drills to help us correct this deficiency? (besides shock collar, saving that as last resort!! :eek:)
