I stand by my previous comment. Still not seeing coil, if youre into that kinda thing. She's gonna be great when she figures it out, love her athleticism and intent

I believe it's 'late' coiling. Her coil comes after the 'stacked' rear leg and when the front leg reaches forward. Have a look at the white stripe on shorts/ her upper rear thigh. I commented earlier that I prefer to see PC DD coil into/against her rear leg as she FBC.

Thx RD !!! Think I'm seeing it... in the the shoulders. ??? Lookz like she just lowered the boom...(legs) so to speak. Also she is very conscience of keeping the ball just under pink ribbon on the tarp...(whenever-however I'm changing her swing :{)))...She did stay at it until she could put them right on the ribbon..... never hit anything off the tee but right @ waist level before.

tee_measurements

Note: She is really encouraged... she has felt something??? We got balls flying back to places we never seen before. She text me yesterday from school, and wanted me to send her a .gif of Alex Hugo's swing... :cool:

Also she really likes your .gifs....She thinks it's cool how you pulse @ point of interest... Like I never have done that...:confused: I think she just ain't going to pay attention to anything that has my logo on it...LOL

Pc, Your DD looks good. This is a 'nit picks' it's what we do here. I think your DD has a 'leveling to the ball' swing. How about on the low tee try hitting the ball above the pink ribbon. I'm hoping you see how your DD 'flattens' going into the ball:

Your DD needs to learn to hit the ball just as the barrel is starting to turn upwards. Start working the tee lower and try to hit line drives above or at the pink line.

Will do !!! (low tee, over the ribbon...tonight) Nit picks... We call it Polishing !!!

Now that I figured out how to get rid of bat blur... Think I'm going to get a Bat Blur shot too! Reminds me of after telling her for a couple years to get it right over the plate (pitching)... then saying "Never put it over the plate" :cool:

Sometimes a DD needs to hear it from a different person. You tell her I say you have been doing a great job coaching DD.

i had to take some tees and do some chopping to get the ball to set just below/at the knee line. If you take this low tee, and set it inside, you will find that it will be difficult to hit fair/towards short/up middle.

They will slice over the top. Work on the inside of the ball work on bat path that will produce line drives. Grip will have to be addressed if its to tight .
