Here is some video from Monday. Not much time to work on it yet but I think she looks marginally better.

I know it is a scary thought - but she needs to start putting more emphasis on using her hands to turn the barrel into the ball and less using her body....
I actually paused the video in exactly the same spot maybe even a few frames earlier where she is bent over even more. It is scary because 99% of girls with upper half problems are too much arms and hands and not enough rest of the body. The way she is all the way bent over forces her to use her whole body to come up out of that crouch.
I would be curious to see what it looks like with a front toss or pitch maybe it is not as pronounced since she has to have her head up more to see the ball coming versus focusing on a tee.
Banditscoach,
Your DD has an open style hitting stance. Here is a good example of a hitter using the open stance. I hope this helps?
RD, I have been teaching her the open stance. I really like the open stance.
We have really been working hard on hitting for the past 3 months. She has pitched so much for the last 3 years that we have neglected hitting. We are really trying to get her back on track.
Can you give me a still shot of this kid at contact so I can compare the two in that spot of the swing.
