11 yr old DD

[Corn]

Been here a few months , just lurking . Very informative most of you are.

Here is my 11 year old dd. Any tips are appreciated.
The things we are currently working on are:

Getting hands inside the ball on a more consistent basis .

Not sliding the hips

Having strong wrists . Her wrists do a funny thing while shes swinging , bottom hand gets a bit funky. This just started happening and I am trying to figure out why. I figure its a symptom of something but cant quite see it yet.

As I said any input on anything I am overlooking is appreciated.

Corn, Swing looks great, very similar to the handpath I am working on with DD's. How does she hit in games? Does she always preload or was this a drill?

"Walk away from the hands" with "timing" ......

Thanks five. However, she doesnt step. How do i then walk away from the hands? Is there another way without stepping?

maybe the second gif is the one closest to a non stride " walking away from hands" .

Hey Stick , she always preloads. No stride . She is iffy in games. She thinks too much. Her approach is the same as she approaches school. "The harder i try the better i will do" , when in fact i believe the opposite. I didnt work with her for almost a year , then after witnessing the bad advice from coaches i decided enough was enough. So since nov. we have been working on the swing you see now. Just trying to fine tune it.

You may have missed this one ....

You do not have to stride to "walk away from the hands".
