    Increased velocity with weighted ball?

    Funny my DD has amazing form and mechanics w a weighted ball but not so great with a regular ball! Go figure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keeping the arm bent on backside of arm circle

    DSU10 she does ball out of glove style already and her drive is also good. She can also keep bend and keep palm up if she goes slow. Frustrating to me because some girls have no problem with this and they are getting great whip. I feel we are still bowling! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keeping the arm bent on backside of arm circle

    Yep have tried all that stuff still turn the ball over when going hard. Also as far as her drive it’s pretty good. So… keeping the bend in her arm is the missing link for us for whip and speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keeping the arm bent on backside of arm circle

    Ok wow…that gives me hope! I notice some girls have no problem w bent arm and others like my DD just can’t do it when she goes full pitch. And we have worked on this for years! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keeping the arm bent on backside of arm circle

    I feel like my DD can keep her arm bent when going slow but when she speeds up she likes to straighten her arm. I feel this is her missing link to get to the next level. Any drills or ideas you can recommend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "natural arm movement of the player"

    I would recommend online lessons -which means you ultimately end up being her coach. You may also still want to go to the local coach to learn spins this way the Coach sees your not an outlier… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pitching gurus, Need advice with pitching style...

    Some girls pick up IR a lot quicker than others. It’s not easy for many of these kids imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What are some basic rules of pitch selection in the circle?

    12 u travel this worked for me but I’m no expert. If batter is close to plate make the pitcher pitch inside including screw. Batter standing far from plate outside pitches including curve. Batters standing way back in the box-CU always works well. I stopped calling CUs when there were runners on...

    Shawn it’s amazing at least w my DD, put a whiffle ball in her hand and she looks perfect. Keeps palm up and good lag. However put a softball in her hand and Hello elbow! She too has been struggling w speed. All the experts say keep the palm up and speed comes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mound time vs team

    No local leagues. She plays 3rd when not pitching and gets plenty of batting on her 12u team- recently became lead off batter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mound time vs team

    The 12u team would win!!! And yes my daughter wants to pitch all the time. And yes the shaky defense would bug me after a while bc she produces weak contact when she pitches. Not a strike out pitcher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
