Yeah, I've been using that drill. The sequence has been hard for her to get. Been getting some bat wrap. She wants to take her hands back while loading instead of while striding. But she'll figure it out. Interesting how this seems simple until you try to install it.
Try having her hold the balance position WITH the knee cocked coiled hip for a while. Hold it for a couple seconds with her hands, rear arm and back relaxed. Then think "KNEE FORWARD AND ELBOW BACK". Rear knees turns forward and elbow (humorous bone) comes back, up, then slot and fires.
After a few sessions then balance in a spot before knee cocking and hip coiling. Have coil pressure in the thigh, then try to increase it with the knee turn....never uncoiling.
My girls are catching on to coiling easier doing the walk up drill with coil. We still do the either drill too, but always start with the walk up drill...IT'S NOT EASY! Many start getting the coil, then forget loading and resisting the back...helps to have someone always watching so they they are not repeating less then ideal swings.
