The journey continues from this thread... https://www.discussfastpitch.com/threads/15yo-maddie.37426/
I don't think that the swings posted here are ideal, nor do they represent all of what I believe is included in an "elite" swing (although it's getting pretty close these days). There are still areas for improvement in her mechanics, and some days are better than others. That said, she is a consistent and powerful hitter who continues to prove herself against challenging competition. As much as anything, this series of threads is about documenting Maddie's progress, and hopefully it can help someone else in their own journey.
As I stated in the previous threads, I'm not necessarily looking for "help". I'm comfortable with the progress she's making, and the coaching she's currently getting. That said, I welcome input and comments about her swing, and things you're seeing - good or bad.
Maddie's first games as a 16yo, she banged this one a bit over 230'...
She's gone away from the more extreme leg kick she had been using over the past year. She feels better in control of her timing by simplifying it to a tap-back move. There isn't really anything I would change about this swing.
