Yep no fan either of wrist snaps. Long toss is great. Use big circles. Yes, so many girls try to throw hard liners but they need to be throwing low rainbows. I preach this all the time. Great content again. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Meg! My daughter is starting her first season this year. I played baseball as a kid but doing and teaching are two different things! I think she has some decent skills but your videos are helping me help her so thanks again
Your videos are so helpful!! You explain everything so well and you helped me out so much! I have tryouts soon and I have been binging all if your videos 😂
Really love your videos, Meg. The techniques are easy to teach to my oldest since my mechanics have long since been set and I don't remember the details of how to solidify them!
Thank you so much! I’m starting my first year of travel ball and I need to perfect my throwing. Normally the throw will have a lot of power and just not go where it needs to do this helped a lot
Thanks for the videos! Can you make videos for basic catching infield and fly balls for my girl? Great videos for basic hitting and throwing mechanics!
great video. My daughter always looks like she is throwing a dart. She actually throws hard but i feel like it could be even better if shed get a farther reach back. Im her dad though so there isn't a whole lot of listening to me going on. lol
This may seem like a silly question. I’m brand new to softball and just found your channel and your content is so detailed and helpful. But you keep saying “for the girls” are these drills and tips universal for males too? Or is there a different throwing/hitting form for men?
Ok so I just joined a new tournament team 14u I've been playing since I was 9 and I have 2 older sisters who also play softball so I have been playing softball for a while and every coach has loved my throws but me new coaches make us do rist flicks and they have been telling my i am shock putting the ball? And iam a little concerned that the wrist flicks are doing that to my throws what do you think?
When you pull the ball out of your glove, how far do you pull back your throwing elbow (when in the U shape). Do you pull your elbow behind your back so your back scaps are flexed or is that pulling too far back?
Hi Meg, so i am in my first year coaching girls. They are 14u and some of them are new to the sport. I like this video for teaching them the basics, whats your thoughts? Or do you have another video I can work with?...Bryan
@@MegRemSoftball Agreed, the only reason why I use it is to stretch out the arm on the back of the elbow. Do you have something else I could switch to for a warm up like that?
Meg your Not Talking About or Showing the Hip if a Righty or Lefty Hip Should Roll Over on the Follow Through When Throwing! It’s Really important to take the Stress Off the Shoulder and Elbow in Your Follow Through…
Love your series but not big on this specific video. This one has not been able to fix any of my girls. Maybe not enough emphasis on leading with the shoulder and creating a rubber band effect? The U shape to the L still throws them off. They try but still end up in the “throwing darts” pose at the end.
Wild that someone who thinks this is dressing scandalously also thinks it is okay for women to be involved in sports. Guys showed more leg back in the 80’s
@@calvin2032Softball for women? No problem in my opinion. Dressing in way less clothing than necessary, problem. I think women and girls these days are dressing in ways that will harm them and will harm men. I don't think that's wild. And if guys showed any more leg than this, they'd be showing more than just leg am I right?
Great video. Thank you for teaching it in a way that even someone with no baseball/softball experience can understand and follow

Thanks this helps because I literally have the track competition tomorrow
Great info
This video was so useful.
This video helped me so much thank you I am a big fan
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
As a Squash Coach I'll be borrowing parts of your U to L definition and routines to teach racket preparation. Thank-you

I was wondering if you have any videos on how to throw a dart throw and a sway throw. Any help would be appreciated.
I don’t I’m sorry! Not sure I know what a sway throw is.

I don't like wrist flicks because like you said, it creates bad habits.
Yeah, but can you throw a softball over a mountain? b/c Uncle Rico and I can.. just sayin'..
He'd took state!
Okay this made me laugh.
Good video and straight to the point 👉 . Now, how do I get her to wanna practice?
It's tough to force it!
@@MegRemSoftball 😊
Are all your sessions done in the charlotte area?
Yes!
When you pull the ball out of your glove, how far do you pull back your throwing elbow (when in the U shape). Do you pull your elbow behind your back so your back scaps are flexed or is that pulling too far back?
Yes, think like your scaps are pulling together
Thanks for the clarification!!

This is great for beginners!
The wrist snap is a warmup exercise, at least that’s what we use it for. We don’t do that for normal throwing
I don't love it because you're never in that position. when throwing. It creates bad habits in my opinion.
@@MegRemSoftball Agreed, the only reason why I use it is to stretch out the arm on the back of the elbow. Do you have something else I could switch to for a warm up like that?
My grand daughter has developed a habit of releasing the ball with side spin and it seems like it's killing a lot of velocity.

Buckle the seatbelt method!

Good vid but wear more clothing to set a good example for the girls
I am wearing shorts and a tank top. Very standard.
Short ass easy access daisy duke shorts are never appropriate in public, i dont give a damn how common it’s become. That’s also not a softball outfit.
