I want to thank everyone for the help, we just returned from OKC and I apologize for not responding until today. I purposely did not place this in the technical forum because I struggle to understand and visualize what is being explained. I sometimes feel like I am slow when I am trying to read through the comments, haha. I like the video clips - those help for sure and Eric I will definitely take your advice and hold her back shoulder so she can feel the tension. I want her to get the right sequence and I know she wants more power in her swing - she is a strong girl and overall she has always been told she has a good swing, however, she is not satisfied with just good/fine. We will continue to work and I hope to post some more swings as she will be playing a lot these next 2 months.

I understand there is no "magic drill" of course any type of "drill" would be great but I will just keep reading and working with her and hope she starts to get some better timing as we continue to work. Thanks to all!!

Keep reading. Keep learning. Keep trying things for yourself.

There's some stuff in here that may be helpful in getting her weight distribution and sequence headed in a better direction...


His continuous pinch drill also is pretty good for someone trying to understand/get the feel of the upper half resistance to a hip turn. If they have a 1 piece swing where
everthing goes together, or worse the hands "go" before hips as my DD does, they will have a hard time at first as they will want to move their hands forward with the inital hip turn.

This is from one of her games this weekend. It is full speed but when I look at it frame by frame I think I see that she is getting tiny bit better on her timing. She has watched the Lauren Chamberlain clip over and over and she has been working on her tee everyday - of course it has only been a few weeks though and I understand that the progress will likely be slow. This was a nice triple for her :)
