12u - Latest Swing

[batdragon]

Her 12u team played up this weekend in the 14u bracket. She hit well against good pitching. It seems standing taller on the backside is giving her a little more power. My previous 3 posts are a few swings from the weekend.

Thoughts ?

Much preferred over the scrunching action.

BD, your DD has a very slight forward press - which I think is a good thing. She seems to use it for timing and to activate her coil. She's also good at barreling up. I wouldn't mess with her too much, you guys are in a good place right now. Keep letting her hit, she's got instincts.

When she was sinking down in that back leg, then coming up = that a misdirection of energy imho. Now she isn't = good job

Looking at this clip, I get the feeling that a little "turn the back pocket to the pitcher" action might get even more out of these swings.

For 12 yr old & up:

Only thing I'll say is appearances can be deceiving - if she is currently conscious of her core/keeping chest square to the plate (whole bb/arse thingy) - with that open stance, it doesn't take much if any appearant inward turn of front hip for her to be wound tighter than a rubber band in the rear hip. Just get up and try it, you will see what I mean. Check out gif in post #72 http://www.discussfastpitch.com/sof...e-any-comments-their-hitters-mechanics-8.html

A take on a pitch away followed by turning on an inside pitch. It seems that takes may tell more about a swing than the swing itself.
