Hands down chip does the best job
I will put the pitching mechanics that he stresses against any of the check cashers out there

really it is not about making mommy and daddy happy by telling them their kid can throw 7 pitches in 4 visits only to have them all look the same from the bucket during warm ups.

My daughter has had chip for lessons for about 2 years and I could not be any more satisfied with her accuracy and form

as far as hitting 3 girls from EAST CENTRAL spent the entire fall and winter with chip and had a great spring 2 of which hit 400 plus against the best high school teams our school could find. (that would play us.)

every one can talk about who they LIKE but in the end the results are what count

does Heather help with these girls as well? I know she has done a great job with some EC girls. My hats off to her. I know she has some good slappers and bunters comin' out of her lessons.

Not to be a negative nancy, but I have seen and worked with some girls that have been going to see some of the above listed coaches, and sad to say, they are stealing the girls' money!

For example, one of the coaches told a 12 year old that on her fastball her arm had to come thru sideways with her thumb first, because "her wrist was small" REALLY!! Instead of telling her she is closing her hips too soon and throwing around her bottom, she told her it was okay because she supposedly has a small wrist! That's bull!

Another example, I worked with a girl that was crow hopping, no drag of her back foot at all, and I said why does your pitching coach let you do that? and her response was "he/she doesn't care, as long as I throw strikes"

I've seen recurring bad habits/mechanics out of a lot of girls, and I just wonder how could so called coaches steal people's money like that?

With pitching, the number of "side jumpers" and hoppers I've seen this summer continues to be epidemic. Either SOMEONE is wrongly teaching these kids, or NO ONE is teaching them correct mechanics and they're learning it on their own. On the other hand, I have seen quite an improvement in hitting mechanics, at least what I saw at Stingrays and GAPPS.

Has greatly increased my pitching speed and works with your strengths to find the best pitches for you to throw.

Out of curiosity, how fast is your fastball now and what pitches does she have you throw?

Howard Carrier. I have tried several over the years for different dds but we feel there is no one better. DD loves the way he explains things, how personable he is and the results she is getting. Can't get her to put the bat down now. Although if I hear his name one more time from her it may drive me up the wall- LOL. Thanks Howard!

Glenn & Tracey McCoy and Crystl Bustos have been a great help with my daughter batting. She gets better each time we get help with Glenn & Tracey! I also hear that Kelli Metzger with Maddogs is really good as well.

I would have to agree Glenn & Tracey do a GREAT job with batting and for pitching I would have to say Roger Black,Glenn McCoy and Josie Henry we have worked with all 3.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say Hitting best would be....Um Um Um... Crystl Bustos at Pinnacle. Why not learn from thee best hitter ever...

By the way I am watching what I think is going to be the fall of 2 Ohio Highschool records this year by one of her students...
