Would love to see some game swings but as a 10u I say let it ride and revisit as the body and musculature changes through puberty. You are so far ahead of the game as a 10u your worst enemy at this point is your own tinkering 
. Great job!

Love it BD. I still remember her first vid posted here, and her bat drag. You guys are workin' hard! I would put the tee away except when neccessary, and that is absolutely just my opinion. If you don't have a lot of space, get some of the tcb hole (wiffle) balls. I can really whip those thing from about 25 feet.
Wow, theres been a lot of nice 8-12 year olds with nice swings here lately. That's awesome.

Still trying to figure it out. She has been squaring the ball up very well lately.
We just played a state 10u state tournament (84 degrees in FL) this last weekend and she was crushing everything.
Please let me know your thoughts & suggestions.
Thx,
Batdragon
BEAUTIFULL SWING, Like NOON says," let it ride", and, lock it in with lots of live stuff.
Way to go, Coach, and way to go Young lady!
Looking good!! I'm with the other guys - don't mess with what you've got at the moment, and let her continue to build her confidence in the box. If there's something you're still working on making 100%, keep with it until it's automatic.
Also, keep an eye out for her picking up bad habits from other players. I've seen that happen more than once. Kids are sponges, but sometimes the water needs to be filtered.

Batdragon, nice job!!! do you have any game swings?
I'm still learning every day but I agree with what has been said...she is way ahead of the game! I agree with rdbass about turning the barrel earlier. If I had to nitpick I would say she shifts then swings but once again...a very nice swing and if she times the ball correctly she will out-hit most everyone her age!

Thanks Crankermo. My DD loves your DD swing. She is working on getting her explosiveness.
