    Bad Pitching Habits

    halskinner is correct - her stride foot landing is closer to 90 degrees than 45 degrees. Also, fastpitch26 described it perfectly - the backleg mimics that of a bowler. from what I can see it looks like the hand is doing this before release. Thanks for all your comments and I will try to get a...

    Bad Pitching Habits

    My DD has developed 3 bad habits that she doesn't realize she is doing. On release her hand is in more of a handshake position than behind the ball, she is leaning over, and her leg drag goes way past the heel behind her of her stride leg - looks more like a straight line that is 45 degrees in...

    Collarbone Hurting

    Thanks for all your helpful replies. I think the first step is to get it checked out by the doctor and hopefully nothing serious that physical therapy cannot fix. Definitely will have her start a good off the field training program. Thanks again

    Hand Position At Release On Side

    Over the past few weeks my daughter (14U) started to develop a bad habit in that at release she is throwing with her hand on the side of the ball instead of behind it. Are there any drills to break this habit and what do you think is causing this? Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

    leg drag

    My DD has been having problems completing her leg drag. She end up only dragging about 1 foot and then pivots onto the toe of her foot. She has a big stride and seems to be getting stuck and hanging back. Any ideas on how to correct this and what drills would be good to do. Also, on occasion she...

    Team Not Hitting

    All winter we had the team doing tee work, soft toss, etc. along with some team hitting lessons. Everything looked good. So far this spring anytime we faced a pitcher that had some zip on the ball our hitting is non-existent. Our hitters look lost. Does anybody have any ideas or drills to do...

    Face Mask for Pitcher

    What protective face mask for a pitcher would you recommend - the plastic (composite type) or the metal ones? The composite types seem very hard to see out of. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
