    softball powerdrive

    It is a wonderfull tool. I am just now selling mine as my daughter is finished with softball forever. It did teach her to use her push off foot with more power from the mound. Too many girls do a pivot push or just a pivot pitch and it is slower then if they could actually learn to push off...

    how do you know when it's enough innings pitched

    This is very interesting. My daughter is an 18u 3rd pitcher. She likes going in to relieve the first and or second if they are struggling but is more then happy to play in the field as well. She has been pitching since she was 10 windmill when she was twelve. I have been her catcher since...

    Fingers red, slightly swollen, and tingles

    O.k. here I go, does she go to the chiropractor at all? The new young chiropractors are amazing. My daughter was having problems with neck, back of shoulder and she clicks in the wrist which will hurt if she lays off for too long then starts pitching again. This young lady was recommended to...

    model pitchers & illegal pitching

    It is very interesting to me that no one noticed on the video section, second page, Cat Osterman does a hop skip when she pitches her rise ball.

    daughters back injury

    daughters "injury" Hi I don't know if you go to chiropractic care at all. My daughter started going when she was 5 as her first sport was tae-kwon-do. If you are unfamiliar with martial arts it is extremely important as they really put a lot of stress on joints and joints move especially...

    here we go thnx guys

    Everything about her is very natural for her age. She has good form, to advance now she needs to start working on lengthening her stride. She is young and like I said has good form. The softball pitching Edge DVD is an awesome video for teaching! It starts with basics and starts taking you...

    Pitcher hit to the head

    Time will heal all wounds. She needs to step away from the game for a while, untill her anxiety starts to subside. I too was hit in the head when I caught back in high school. I flipped off my mask to catch a pop fly but I did not realize that the sun was blinding me untill it was too late...

    Do I tell my daughter...?

    I have a daughter that has faced every dissappointment there is. She is a power athlete not a speed athlete, if her school had power lifting she would be on top! Anyways way back when both her and my son tryed for a dance team, she has always been a "little" slower but by the time the...

    flip change release?

    The high ones are generally released too far in front. She should be starting her release just before the leg, just like fast ball, but with the grip over the ball and a flick which should not go above the hip too far and a little out in front with the fingers, not the palm showing. I hope...
