Yeah - I don't have too many options as I'm kind of handcuffed to a certain radius for the location of the team's practices. Only found a couple in my area that we can travel to comfortably!

"There is a slight chance the coach will study the videos of high level softball players and say "you know what? You are correct! The best baseball and softball players do swing the same! Thank you Mr. New players dad, you taught me a lot!
Well then, time for plan B. This gets tricky. Odds are the coach will not change his hitting theory even after you show him video after video of high level softball players swinging exactly like high level MLB players. He may slowly adjust how he teaches hitting but it wont happen right away.
Tricky part is not offending the coach when you politely disagree with his theory. You can ask a few questions but too many questions he doesnt have answers to will offend him. If you do offend him expect to be black listed and that can affect DDs playing time. My advise is to not talk to the coach about hitting and when the coach gives 'swing flat' coaching to your DD have her nod her head and say yes coach.

How does a flatter swing keep the bat in the zone longer?
I can understand the argument that the trajectory of a softball pitch is slightly less downward than a baseball pitch and therefore you want slightly less uppercut. Even though I believe that to be inconsequential, I can at least respect the logic. But I don't get how a flatter swing stays in the zone longer.
