The player has told me that she slammed her hand into her hip a few times when she first started pitching so I figured she was just trying to get out of her own way to avoid hitting her hip again, she does it pretty badly and at U17 she has developed this bad habit and I’m assuming it will be hard to break……For most the monkey butt at landing is a result, the cause usually starts while pushing off the rubber. If possible post a video.
.…..am I able to post a video on here? And if so how?
What is monkey butt?Is the monkey butt causing any issues? Does she pitch better when she limits it?
Monkey Butt is a term I coined. When the pitcher lands and she is letting her front leg collapse too much and then she starts to lean with her head forward over her chest and she sticks her chest out to try and get her arm past her hip. When she does that her butt will stick out looking much the same way as when a monkey stands up and walks.What is monkey butt?
