Yea I'm an idiot along with being lazy, my point was you can use different ways to have a different IP address, but what do I know. I'm sure you're the authority on tech and IT knowledge too. My bad.

I don't like the brush interference with bicep...and I know nothing about hitting why??? I can break down why I don't like it if you would like. Yea I know all about leading with elbow and ir wth do u think started all of this.. What's the point. Obviously u haven't followed the posts... My point being most in Ohio don't teach IR ...then u spout off looking like a moron trying tell me about IR..pfffft..now if we had any instructors worth a dime..why would Hillhouse and Gilli's have to travel to a different state...u are talking about I structors out of this state u moron...u are making my point for me...why don't those Guys go to western states? Southern? Because they are not needed...PC in this area need to get up to speed ..stop paying guys from Michigan and other states to instruct our kids...u don't get it and there lies the problem...show me a post that backs up your statement that I don't know hitting...u can't..u won't...keep paying outta town guys..there's the proof u need

Yup you are correct I haven't read every post you have written. However I didn't need to read the unibombers manifesto or the rants of Ted Bundy to know that they where insane too. So if I follow your twisted logic if Mike Candrea lived 1/2 hour from me in another state I shouldn't bother taking my daughter for hitting lessons from him. Gillis does travel west and south to give instruction he is also a pitching advisor for Missouri. You should look things up before you spout off on a subject. As far as your limited knowledge anyone can watch a few videos from another fast pitch forum. It is different to be able to teach someone which I suspect you would have no idea what you would be doing.

I'll have to tell my brother the very experienced IT guy he's wrong, of course he did tell me it depends on the situation. Anyways I guess you ignored everything else I said pertaining to it simply being an example and my point was there are ways to get around an IP address. And I also don't care enough to bother the mods so it may not have changed. So now I'm lazy and an idiot. Lol. That hurts, your relavance ( might have misspelled that and I a don't care because I'm a lazy idiot), point if view/opinion don't seem to matter much on here other than we seem to not be able to ignore you, which we probably should just do. Don't know why I even bothered typing this since the almighty and all knowing is ignoring me now. I've got to go my dd is waiting by the tee, we're gonna go squish bugs and make sure both hand are vertical(no palm up Palm down at our house), gotta get busy doing stuff wrong.

Can we get nonsensical trolling posts such as this deleted by a mod?

Does she have a daughter that plays SB?

Jax is a lot like Georgia. For some reason it gets cold there and stays mild longer. But it is hot in the summer. Jax beach is NICE

Get in the Game with Jennie Finch - YouTube

Just had to post this instructional video. This pitcher has seen some success in her career, it's amazing she got as far as she did with that hello elbow technique. Heck she even refers to it at the beginning of the video. Just imagine had she been taught the IR technique she might have been recruited by a school like Arizona, and maybe had made it to the Olympics, or better yet, played pro ball...

Play Two, Been reading your posts now for a few days.What exactly are you trying to prove with your critique of ohio players,pitching fielding,techniques.My first thought was self promotion for some clinic your running w all your correct methods,then I remembered that youv'e expressed very little hope that our girls could play d-1 so why bother,so that ruled out the clinics.Seems like you may be upset things aren't going well with your coaching of your team or nobody's calling for lessons.Whatever it is I hope things get better for you soon.We all can't agree on everything we do in this game,but this thread has turned into nothing positive for anybody except thinking positvley about better soft ball playing weather.

Play-Two---you keep shooting down everyone that has been mentioned INCLUDING Jennie Finch. Can you name us in your opinion who measures up to your standards? I mean come on...we have at least 15 girls going D1, several going to top D1 programs. Is that the girls doing the work or their instructors? Crystl Bustos says (I believe it was her and someone correct me if I'm wrong) it takes 10,000 hours to have a perfect swing. Does that mean, the girls swings for 10,000 hours individually or Crystl looking on top of her for 10,000? An instructor, whether it is Howard Kobata, Howard Carrier, Tim Duncan, Kasey Reis, etc, can only INSTRUCT so much, it's up to the girls to go home and do the work. IF they make it big, that makes their instructors look good. But how many of their students are going big? How many decide to stay home for college? You're only looking at the trees from the forrest (I think I said that right)

Correct me if Im wrong, but doesn't Duncan have a student breaking OHHSAA records and she is signed at TENN -MARTIN? Why not a bigger school? Im seeing some D1 schools but not any in the top 25. My hope is to COLLECTIVELY SEEK THE TRUTH AND FIND OUT WHY WE ARENT GETTING MORE GIRLS AT THESE TOP SCHOOLS. THERE IS A REASON WHY AND I HAVE MY THEORY! Possibly the POOR INSTRUCTIONS? As I also stated guys like Duncan etc ...We need more of them. I have no clue who he is or what he teaches. Cant argue with some of his results though.

Not every player is looking to play at top softball schools: Why?
1. Academics
2. Academics
3. Academics
4. Life after softball is planned (that would be? Academics)

Firstly, you are getting some of Bill's instruction wrong. "Brush the ear" is more of a cue to keep the arm in and not a literal absolute. There are high level pitchers whose bicep gets very close to their ear. View attachment 1580 View attachment 1581

Secondly, Hillhouse doesn't teach IR in the way you think of IR. He teaches palm facing third at the 9 o'clock position as opposed to palm facing up. And again, arm brushing the belly is to keep the arm in tight. You are using exaggerated cues as a point of disagreement when all they are are exaggerated cues.

Trashing the instruction in this state isn't the best way to go about changing it.

Don't know the class of the girl, but if she's 2014-15 class year, probably because all of the money is gone for scholarships at the top level. Maybe the young lady broke late into the recruiting scene. Maybe because she didn't want to play for an extremely large school. There are several questions/factors that go into the equation. Just beecause she didn't land a big school in your eyes doesn't mean it was poor instruction. I'm going off specualtion here and the only ones who know her decision are probably her, her parents, Tim, her coaches both at travel and high school, and basically those who are close to her. Her parents or herself doesn't need to come on here to explain her decisions.

Like I said, many factors went into her decision. Not everyone is the same, but one things for sure, it's not the instruction. But one thing, a top instructor will make the calls for their potential students.
