I am going into my second year with DD (11yo) and she has had tremendous improvement. She has gone from chopping at the ball with no lower half involvement last year to something that we can actually work with. IMO she has a decent swing (now) when we are hitting of the tee she uses her lower half and the sequence looks decent. We are having trouble with live pitching it seems like all the hard work we put in goes out the door, lower half disengages half the time and has no concept of timing. We are already doing the HG drill, I also have her do the front leg up (flamingo style) drill followed up with front toss that she seems to still use her lower half. Any help on getting her transitioned into live pitching would help. By the way we hit off live pitching once a week.
