    You may want to try a static swing. Just have her start with the chin in front of belly button and swing from there. Start at the end and work backwards. No loading, get her to feel what it is like to swing from that position. Yes, I would say her practice swing is good, especially for her age...

    When she goes to the full speed swing she isn't getting to that balanced position before she starts rotation. If you can, look at the swing in slo-mo and pay attention to the door behind her head. Check where she gets to on the practice swing versus full speed. Some other things to watch: Don't...

    DD's swings during lesson

    Looks like she is pushing the bat instead of throwing the barrel. She also pushes too long with the back leg which causes her head to pop up. Her weight shift is very good, she is just overdoing it. Needs to learn to separate the upper and lower. Not a terrible swing by any means. Just some...
