    Diamond Kinetics Ball

    We have a new ball that we purchased after my daughter spent a session with Coach James. She loved the spin feedback from it. We put the iPad between her and the target. We get consistent readings every time.

    Arm circle problems

    We seem to be making some pretty good progress. Any thoughts on improving?

    Arm circle problems

    She can standing arm circles and walk throughs without any arm bend. It's when she is full windup it happens. I am not really sure what double h positions are. We have been going slower off a balance beam and the arm looks a little better. I hope your right about getting to the correct position...

    Arm circle problems

    Both improved. She was also almost leaping a full foot across her power line before too. The problem is the more she throws the further the ball gets from the power line. She really bends the elbow and shortens her arm circle at about 2 o'clock. I didn't know if there was a drill that would...

    Arm circle problems

    These are some revisions we made. The shortarming can be seen from behind. She is keeping the ball closer to the power line but still seems to be muscleing the pitch.

    Arm circle problems

    OK. I think we fixed the drive mechanics and IR by going back to a delay in the swing back by watching the two step drills again. The problem is still the arm bend. She can stand in one spot and do a circle and her arm looks as loose as possible. When she throws into a net she almost muscles...

    Arm circle problems

    Exactly. That's were the problem is but how do we fix it with the drive. She always pitched internal rotation and after a shoulder injury she is pitching wrong. She took about 6 months off and she says something with her drive doesn't feel right.

    Arm circle problems

    Yes. I can see the hello elbow at release now. She is all over the place on release, footwork and everything else. She says nothing feels comfortable any more. We are trying to get this resolved in the off season starting soon. Her speed is way off. She seems to be having timing issues and in...

    Arm circle problems

    These are the videos of my daughter. The swim isn't as bad on these videos because she is really forcing herself to keep everything in line. As soon as she gets in a game the glove arm swims and the throwing arm is extremely shortened. A bent elbow at almost 90° on the 3 o'clock position. Any...

    Arm circle problems

    2019-03-25_10-50-16-532.mp4 My daughter is college pitcher that over the last year and a half has had some major arm circle problems. She is bending her elbow from just after her reach out and cutting off her arm circle. When she does walk through or slow motion she is fine. Full motion she is...

    Short arm help.

    Accuracy is not a problem at all. Her speed does seem to be down though. Maybe I should look at the drive mechanics to improve the beginning of her circle. She says that she can't feel herself doing it. (Bending the elbow in the upswing.) When doing walk ups or standing in a open position the...

    Short arm help.

    From behind her pitching arm is bent out when starting her circle. Her college coach wants the glove hand up more and a larger circle.

    Short arm help.

    Check out this video I made with Coach's Eye: https://www.coachseye.com/v/7e3a052089864fc0968217f2e9514545 I really need some experts on this one. My daughter is a pitcher that is having trouble bending (short arming) her pitching arm. When she does walk ups or just steps she is fine. It is only...

    Lack of game speed

    Yes. Her game speed is slower than her practice speed. Yes the high end speed is off a hard surface.

    Lack of game speed

    My DD is a senior this year. Her speed is very good in the gym pitching off a mat with a rubber. She can hit 61 regularly. Once in the dirt the speed just tails off to around 56. Very good at hitting her spots and seems to be very effective still but would like to see that speed. Any ideas?
