Last weekend. Roped this one down LF line. Girl was playing pull side and was hit right to her.
game swing is much better than the toss swing and tee swing. The load is much better.still draggy. But much better. Good luck!

Good catch Ski! Did not notice that. Do I leave it alone or tinker with getting it down some?A consistent difference I see in the tee swing, front toss swing and game swing is the front elbow being down in the tee swing and not in the others.
Maybe do some front toss with her just focusing on the elbow being up for five swings then down for five swings and get her feed back on what she feels with each.Good catch Ski! Did not notice that. Do I leave it alone or tinker with getting it down some?

Her game swing is better because it is higher. She gravitates to a circular swing path and that works with pitch up in the zone. When the ball is lower it looks to me as though she wants to continue using that path so she drops and drags.
Knob should replace the front elbow.
I have 12u and a 14u team and had them do the Mike Trout warm up swings before they hit and it makes a big difference.
I don't see Trout working on his swing. It's just part of his routine working on clearing his mind and relaxing his body to get ready for 'the moment'.Bold above. can you explain further what this helps. My DD does this when she is on deck and i believe it promotes her hands dropping in her swing and allows for poorer posture. I would rather her be doing a Ryan Braun style warm up, level and at shoulder to head level. That to me i think would help her feel keeping the hands at the shoulders during the swing and promoting proper posture. Again, my DD is a serious work in progress, but i am just trying to understand what i may be missing in this warm up as it seems to ignore posture. Ideally DD would be practicing a bat path and posture of a strike pitch on deck, but she doesn't seem to want to. thanks in advance.

When you step into the box you'd better have a clear mind focused on the present and the body relaxed or you will most likely be carrying the bat back with you to the dugout.
