    Throwing issue

    I would work on the legs. To me it looks like the legs are pushing instead of turning. This could be the reason for the lead leg not posting up. I would also teach her how to use the front arm as well. JMO but if she can clean up her legs I believe things will fall into place better. The front...

    Fastpitch hitters

    I love seeing adjustments from my DD like the young lady that W=W posted. When my DD makes those types of adjustments it confirms that she is moving the way that I prefer to see her move. Is it her “A” swing, no but IMO a hitters “B” swing or adjustment swings are typically more informative than...

    Blisters

    DD used Mountain Biking or Motocross gloves. I don’t remember her ever having issues with blisters but it seemed as if she tore a pair of batting gloves within a week. The Mountain bike gloves would last for months and months before giving out. They are thicker than a batting glove but according...

    Spiral crack

    Don’t buy…….. That is cracked and not just a paint chip as the picture implies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Swing down

    If I understand what is meant by FYB and I believe that I do, I consider it an action. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "No Monthly Dues.."??

    Birmingham Thunderbolts in AL doesn’t charge dues to the younger teams 16U[emoji3596] and the 18U “Premier “ team is pretty much fully funded. Each girl pays $300 and then everything but meals are taken care of….. Travel, Hotel, Equipment, etc….. The younger teams typically split the tournament...

    Swing evaluation please

    Out of curiosity how far away was the pitcher and at what velocity was the ball being thrown? The pitch looks to be extremely flat and may actually ascend from the point the ball entered the frame up to contact. Some correction is needed but the pitching isn’t doing her any favors JMO...

    Bonds Movement Pattern

    The scissor action you see is from reciprocal movements... the scissor action happens when reciprocal movements are allowed to take place and yes IMHO it is a very desirable action. The reason Bonds does the “anti scissor” move at the end is because he reached max tension at contact...... after...

    Sr Year

    I understand this [emoji115][emoji115]...... I thought the same thing for a long time but IMO what most refer to as “weight shift” or “early weight shift” isn’t the issue. They have plenty of great hitters that fall into the category of early weight shifters. The issue is that most amateur’s...

    Sr Year

    What if you don’t try to do any of that and just fire? Do you feel as if she didn’t get a good load? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sr Year

    Just out of curiosity...... what does that do for a hitter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sr Year

    What do you mean by control? From what she tells me, there is zero thought that goes into coiling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sr Year

    It is the rain that typically keeps our girls off of the fields here [emoji57]....... They will play on an grass infield here and there. The field in the first gif was at a public park which doesn’t have any dirt infields..... My DD HS is a very small school but they are fortunate enough to have...

    Sr Year

    Catcher...... I hope that she stops doing that by the start of the season and just takes the walk..... She has missed her SO & JR seasons so she is being somewhat selfish IMO by not wanting to walk but I understand it at the same time [emoji2373]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A few swings from the first two scrimmages of Mak’s Sr year. As usual criticism is always welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hip/Shoulder Separation

    Hip/Shoulder Separation

    IMO that is exactly what Kvest shows..... Professional athletes generally have a much higher rate of force development over amateur’s...... “First Move” is the hands...... The initial separation is for SSC purposes..... you want to use that stretch to help create a higher rate of force...

    Hip/Shoulder Separation

    Why do say DECEL isn’t a thing? If you care to elaborate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
