front shoulder

[mogsoftball]

DD has been listing her frot shoulder at toe touch, been working to tyr and keep shoulders level.

Ideally, we should see her front shoulder getting a little more "down and in" than she does in this swing. Aim for getting into an attack position with the front shoulder lower than the rear.

That said, there's a lot going on in this swing that I like. Do you have any clips of her hitting a moving ball?

Why are you wanting her shoulders to be level?

hmm maybe level isnt the right word. I want her to stop lifting her front shoulder up when she plants. it is better here than it was before, her instructor has her doing drills going from toe touch to heel plant and driving front shoulder down. In fact when she stops and heal plant and holds it it's close to the image above, but when she goes full speed she still lifts the shoulder.

This gif is to 'toe touch' not 'heal plant':

This gif is to 'toe touch'..front shoulder down and in:

at 'heal plant' the front shoulder will raise as the rear shoulder will drop dependent on the pitch height.
The swing will drop the rear shoulder and raise the the front shoulder.

Here she is at toe touch, so she needs her front shoulder "down" more.

How much a hitters shoulder will go down depends on the height of the pitched ball.

Cabreara is 'DRIVING' down and in with his front shoulder. Some hitters aren't 'driving' their rear leg forward.

Yes....
If it was my DD I would be looking at the rear leg usage/forward by coil. That 'driving' rear leg will get the shoulder 'down and in' as the bodies COM lowers.
