Just did what Sb talked about 15 min. ago
Just got done with a lesson. Sophmore boy lefty. Plays On a top travel team.
He was looking at the shortstop while hitting off the tee. Did the pencil on the ball cap. He is now looking at the pitcher better.

Said he has been miss hitting the ball some.

Told me he has a game tommorrow so we will see if it helps him.

The stance is a style choice. The teachable action is to make sure she coils during her stride. IMO this video from Slaught is one of the best videos around because it takes the emphasis off of the stance and places the emphasis where it belongs; which is on the sequence. If you can get your DD to experiment and start her sequence from different stances as Slaught recommends; she will develop a much better understanding of the swing. IMO, kids learn quicker if they are allowed to experiment with their stance and handset position. Once they figure out the sequence, they actual have fun trying out different stances. A few weeks ago, my DD blurts out; "I think I'll try Pujols' stance".

Agree with the freedom of experimenting. Especially at this age. Her desire to hit the ball at this age is just as important as her mechanics. Don't make a poser; encourage her aggressiveness.
