Ok, not really...just hoping to get you to look.

This is my DD. She is 16. Solid player, travel ball (PGF qualified team). Batting Average about .300. Please help her with improvements in her swing, specifically to generate early bat speed.

We are anxiously awaiting JS's RedCord presentation as she feels like her number one improvement right now is a strengthened core. In the meantime she is doing the Drive Mechanics core workout.

This spring she played at the 18 Gold level and struggled to consistently hit the ball hard.

She is willing to put in the work to take her swing to the next level.

Good swing! Raw power is god given. Some small girls can hit it hard and some big girls can't. You can work to hit it harder but pure power is a gift.

Certainly not an expert here, but the swing looks great. Does she have any weaknesses? Hitting a certain location or movement pitch?

Looks pretty strong to me.

If we're nit-picking, might let the ball travel a little bit more and not reach?

No expert here either, swing looks really good. I think maybe the front elbow straightens out a little too early and would guess that it's even more pronounced with faster pitching. That's just me trying to find something though.
