Reply to "Stride Length"

quote:
Landing “hard” on the heel may indicate problems such as crashing into foot plant. But the action of landing on the heel first (as opposed to landing on the toe first) is not a detriment to opening the hips into foot plant. There are high velocity pro pitchers that use the heel to toe action as a means of opening their hips late into foot plant.

My son lands flat. He used to crash his heel. We tried to get him to land ball of foot, but it didn't work for him. A lot of pitchers land heel to toe without crashing. He has size 14, but he is 6'5". greenwinky
