That's great! Thank you so much for taking all that time to explain it. I think I understand better the sequence and can help communicate that to her better. Thanks again!!
So just as an example from another thread and why i really want the live swing. @Eric F; if don't want these used for this purpose let me know and I'll delete them and this post.
Here is a picture from a tee hit of follow through, she has a reverse C going leaning way back and looks off balance.
But I'm not going to critique that because I know that isn't her game swing follow through it looks like next picture, the reverse C isn't there I can draw a straight line from the top of the back of her head to the back of her knee very balanced and controlled. Now I look at your DD pic and see same thing but should I critique it....I don't know
and in Drizzle DD swing she is more far forward over the front foot and it is excessive but how much is tee and how much is her real swing I can't tell. You also mention other things were going on during that tee session with your DD and that's my point it's a tee session so you are working on things...it's not your reaction to a pitched ball it usually focusing on a certain aspect maybe during that tee session the emphasis was on a long follow through which is why is looks excessive.I would say that the rearward lean displayed by Drizzle's DD is excessive, but it may be completely different in a game swing.
My DD's rearward lean is a bit exaggerated on that particular tee swing, largely do to some of the other things that were being exaggerated at the time. Personally, I wan't to see the pull-back over the rear hip. I think it's an important part of a good swing.
She's toned down the leap onto the front leg thing, which is good. She's still, however, arm-swinging around a posted front leg. I don't agree that her back-but-open load is bad. She gets into a good launch position. The problem is what happens next. What should happen is a hands-driven barrel turn at the rear shoulder and a tilt that works the barrel behind and through to the ball. What she is doing instead is executing a classic arm-powered swing. When the lower body drive/tilt engine doesn't power the the barrel to the ball, the arms have to do it.
