What do our clients have to say?
My daughter, and us, were pretty lost when we found Abby Tincher Davis. We had been to several instructors who each helped to build our daughter as best they could but there was always something missing. There was always the feeling that there could be and should be more than what she was currently being taught.
Just by divine luck, Abby Davis moved close to us and we decided to take a lesson. It, quite literally, changed the trajectory of my daughter's softball career. I don't know where she would be without Abby - as I said, it has been a life changing journey. The investment that Abby puts into our daughter goes so far beyond pitching and softball. She is a female role model, confidant, supporter, cheer leader, and superstar pitching instructor.
I could write 10 paragraphs about our journey with Tincher pitching and how much we have benefited from their guidance and instruction. Abby has such a special bond with her pitchers and I just love to watch her and my daughter work together, get excited together, find new approaches together, and ultimately triumph together. We love Abby and the Tincher family and cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for that life changing coach!

I started working with Abby when I was in the 8th grade. I had been pitching since I was 9 years old and through the years had developed some bad habits that were causing me to have a heavy drag foot and was also hitting my elbow against my hip to the point it was causing deep bruising and pain. My parents had tried everything they knew to try to correct these issues but nothing worked. We heard through word of mouth about Tincher Pitching and found out Abby was giving lessons occasionally in Louisiana.
After the first lesson within the first 15 minutes of watching me pitch she had a plan to help fix my form issues and explained how all of the issues I was having were related. Abby gave me just a few easy drills to work on throughout the week and within just a few weeks I could feel and see a huge improvement. I continued to take lessons from Abby whenever she came to Louisiana and now that she no longer comes to my area, I take lessons from her virtually. Each lesson is personalized and she always gives me something different to work on to help perfect my form and get the most out of my body. Now I no longer hit my elbow and my drag foot is so much better. I am going on to pitch at the college level and I know that without Abby and Tincher Pitching program my pitching career would have most likely been cut short. Needless to say, I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with her. Thanks Abby!!

We went to Anna’s first lesson with Abby over 4 years ago. We knew instantly we had found the right place and person to develop her for the future. Abby has been a great instructor and mentor during this crazy journey for my daughter. If looking for someone to trust in developing your daughter I highly recommend Abby. And would recommend looking at the accomplishments of her students over the last few years as proof of a job well done.

My daughter has been pitching for 3 years now. After Anah suffered a shoulder injury due to overuse/mechanical breakdown last summer I found Tincher pitching. When I contacted Abby I knew that’s who I wanted for Anah! It’s been a tough 12 months of PT, throwing programs, strength/conditioning, lots of hard work and some ups & downs to get Anah back 100%. Abby told Anah that she was here for the long haul & I know without a shadow of a doubt that is a fact.
Abby is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, professional, detail oriented, caring & motivating. Anah sees her virtually. Lessons are jam packed with great content. You can tell how much her students mean to her! I can’t recommend her & Tincher pitching enough! Abby Tincher Davis you have been a tremendous blessing to Anah & we can’t wait to see where this goes!
Danya Bueno, Daughter Anah Bueno, 2027 RHP
Since meeting Abby I have seen steady growth in my child for nearly two years as a distance student. This has been more than “pitching lessons”, Abby has had Zoom classes for the mental approach to pitching and she has taught us to use and breakdown video ourselves. Her approach has made this Arabella’s journey, not a coach, or a system, or a parent. Once Arabella bought into the importance of personal accountability that Abby stresses to all of her students, we were all off and running. We are beyond grateful for meeting Abby. We live over five hours away and my child has a personal connection with Abby, that says a lot about her commitment to all of her girls.

At age 11, my daughter had suffered many pitching related injuries and our doctor insisted that if she wanted to continue to pitch, we needed to do something different. A friend recommended Abby to us. We met Abby and Mr. Denny at a clinic shortly after that. We were blown away by their knowledge of pitching and of teaching students to pitch in a healthy way. They literally broke down Ava’s mechanics and rebuilt them from the basics, which is no easy task. Abby encourages her students to take the lead in their own pitching journey. From day one, she teaches how pitch delivery should feel as well as how to make corrections (even during games) by themselves if a pitch isn’t working quite like they’d like. Time and time again, we see Abby teaching and critiquing students with kindness, dignity, and respect. She is the biggest cheerleader for her students and celebrates all wins with them (no matter how big or small). I know she is one of the first people my daughter wants to share her achievements with. If you are looking for a pitching instructor who will put your child and her health and safety first (and who has the knowledge to do so), I highly recommend that you contact Abby. Today, my daughter is 15 and without Abby, she wouldn’t be even half the pitcher she is today!
Kristi Whitlock, Daughter Ava Whitlock, 2027 RHP
Abby has had a profound effect on our daughter’s pitching technique and approach to pitching! Our Daughter broke her femur at 12 years old and thought she would never pitch again. Alivia found out Abby was in the area and decided to try to pitch again. After being out of softball and pitching for over 2 years, she has been with Abby now for just over a year and feels like the sky is the limit. She dealt with hitting her elbow on her side causing bruises and elbow pain, Abby and Denny found a plan and very quickly solved the problem. She is currently up 6-7 mph hr, control, and approach to the game is on another level. Sometimes Alivia doesn’t want to pitch at all or very little at lessons. That doesn’t mean lessons are not very productive, it just gives our daughter and Abby a chance to talk about how to improve mentally and physically. If not for Abby, im not sure she would be pitching at all! Certainly without Abby she would not be what she has become, and where she is going!
