So I have an 11 yo 12U travel ball player as my DD. She has a great swing, good load, and is starting her swing exactly when she should be (sorry no current video as this is a new issue she is having), but her swing is sooooo much faster than the other girls on her team. I'm not sure when her hands got so fast but the coach doesn't seen too worried since as a 1st year 12u team they will be seeing much faster pitching come this Spring in comparison to our current scrimmages.
She is so far ahead of the slower pitching and she knows it but it is hard for her to slow down her swing when all of last season the coach wanted the majority of the team to work on quicker hands (my daughter hits better off of 48+ mph pitching).
My question is to slow down the hands/swing, buy her a heavier bat, or not slow down the swing. I am new to all of this.
