My 15yo DD (5'-3", 100-ish lbs) has returned to softball after more than a year of being away from it, and has joined her HS Varsity team. Her previous softball experience was filled with rec ball coaches who taught her how to "swing level" and "squish the bug". As we can see in her swing, these cues play out in a big way along with classic bat drag, out-front bat speed, poor coiling, and poor sequencing. Her swing needs to be re-built from the ground up, including proper use of her lower body and understanding of how to use her hands to turn the barrel.
Here's our starting point...
We have a lot of work to do, but she's a hard worker and tends to listen to me pretty well (much better than her 9yo sister - lol).
(If someone feels inclined to GIF the clip, I have no issue with it.)
