    Drop ball drills

    Maybe this will help, from behind it looks to me lie she is not ever getting her hand behind the ball before release, causing the gyro spin?

    Drop ball drills

    I’d like to hijack this a little because I came here for almost the same question, my DD has always thrown a version of gyro spin, either 3-9, or 2-8, 1-7. Any good drills to work on 12-6, we’d like to get her drop working correctly.

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    I should have said it wasn’t just adding a piece to the handle to keep it from flying off when it breaks.

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    I was told by someone who tested the replacement bat before they were sent to the public, that they said they had to take a little pop off the bat. So it wasn’t just a fix of the handle.

    Umps calling strikes above batter's head

    Wait till you get to hs and it happens, not all the time but my DD is 5’5” and has had strike calls over her head.

    Injured again!

    What did you do to fix the issue? How was it diagnosed?

    Injured again!

    She is seeing a dr for it, they’re at a loss to why it’s not better after 6 weeks off, it may just take more time idk. We’re just trying to determine the root cause of it, so it stops happening.

    Injured again!

    What are the workouts like and how much equipment do you need to do them?

    Injured again!

    Thanks her issue is she had this last year, but kept pitching because the dr’s thought it was something else, we rested it completely for 3 mount and it was better after doing some stretching. It eventually came back even with the stretching, so it’s led us to think it’s something she’s doing...

    Injured again!

    This is from last year, but it’s pretty much the same except she no longer does the backswing.

    Injured again!

    So my DD had been hurt last year with a rhomboid area injury, well she has it again. She got a mri and it was a serratus anterior strain, after resting it for nearly 2 months it’s not fully better. Does anyone have experience with kids and this injury? What in mechanics can cause it?

    Parents: leave your child alone when she pitches.

    Couldn’t be truer! I stopped telling my kid anything, batting or pitching a long time ago, She has enough to worry about without me filling her head with swing thoughts right before an at bat.

    Showcase camps are they worth it?

    I probably should have been more clear, when I said worth it I meant from a recruiting standpoint, not so much instructional.

    Showcase camps are they worth it?

    Should she hand anything to the coaches at the camps?

    Showcase camps are they worth it?

    Second question, how intense are the camps at showcases for pitchers. I don’t want to send my kid to a 3 hour pitching camp where she throws 300 pitches before a tournament.

    Showcase camps are they worth it?

    Just like the title says, are the showcase camps worth it or is it better to go to individual college camps that they put on?

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    She used to be a cf fan, but changed to a ghost, now they feel weird to her. I’ve been told the smaller handle has an effect on bat speed through the zone, thoughts on that?

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    That makes more sense, my DD has always been taught the opposite, square up the ball. I’ve seen quite a few ppl using this bat, it’s hot but I don’t think anymore than a cf would be.

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    Oh so more of a slice. Weird that the thought on this is more spin will make the ball go farther. Where in golf less spin has been proven to be better for distance, with the use of launch monitors.

    New Suncoast Fastpitch bat

    Silly question, what does cut the ball mean?
