Hi! Local bucket mom here! I’m “near” Cincy in Oxford, Oh.

IR is *very* hard to come by here, if at all! I’ve home instructed my daughter with what I’ve learned from taking classes myself on PaulyGirlFastpitch.com. (I’ve never played a game of softball on my life!) and we’ve done some traveling for clinics.

My daughter is 9u, 2010...how about yours? Who does she play for?

If you are interested in Tincher, there’s a PC in Blue Ash that’s mid-training but not yet certified. We are new to her (just one lesson in!) so I cannot yet formally advise. I also have contact info for someone more near Dayton but have never met them. I can tell you more about who DOESN’T instruct it in our area...lessons I learned the hard way!

I’m so excited to connect with someone local!

My daughter has also started seeing Sami! We were making the drive to Indianapolis to work with Laura Rothrock, but with 3-4 kids going at a time, she just wasn't progressing like we'd like her to!

@SunshineAndRainbows maybe we’ve crossed paths?!? My daughter is 9...maybe we threw balls at you last night?

The young lady we watched last evening looked seasoned...not new to the style, so I’m betting that’s your daughter?!?

Yes-before Sami came to town, I actually reached out to Laura, but never heard back.

Since you’ve had Tincher experience, I’d love your feedback!

I’m so glad you stumbled across this!!!

We've only been to Sami once, and it was a Saturday, but my daughter has been working with Laura for almost a year now! Laura is super knowledgeable, but it is hard to get on her schedule sometimes!! Plus, she has 3-4 students an hour, all ages and skill levels, so I felt like we weren't always getting the attention needed (especially after driving 1.5 hours there, not to mention paying $75 an hour!!)

Sami told us we could schedule an hour every other week, so we have a few Tuesdays from 6-7 booked!

My daughter is 11, has been pitching for 2 years - Tincher is great, and if you can find a PaulyGirl coach (https://paulygirlfastpitch.com/certified-coaches/) they are great as well! You can't go wrong with either one!

Looks like you're not too far from Centerville, Indiana. If that's the case talk to Coach James (James Clark). He's a member here and a High Performance Pitching (PaulygirlFastpitch) Certified Elite level coach and he is terrific. You will be very happy with him. You can find his contact email on the Coach Locator under the Midwest section:

Another recommendation for Coach James. He was at Mr Pauly’s clinic that we attended and has a fantastic approach to instruction. If we weren’t so far away we would be a regular client with ZERO hesitation.

Agreed, James is great. We travel to him as often as we can (2 hrs from east side of Cincinnati). We've seen many instructors from the Cincinnati area and none compare to him in teaching I/R. If you're from Oxford, you're real close to him...no brainer in my opinion.

Sunshine and Rainbows I'd love to hear what you see as the differences between Tincher and Paulygirl please. Also, I've heard no video allowed with Tincher?!?
