Fixing Elbow Drops in Fastpitch: Drills & Resources

Question
Can you recommend any drills that will help a 14 year fastpitch player who drops her elbow while throwing? It is becoming a bit painful for her and I've tried a few different drills without a lot of success.

Answer
Hello John

I haven't used one myself but many coaches recommend the Throwmax to help maximize speed, correct throwing positioning (elbow), and develop muscle memory. http://www.throwmax.com

Even if you don't buy the product the website has many helpful tips.
