I think one drill is to have a towel under the front arm or arm pit while swinging. Object not to drop the towel.

I havent read the bazillion posts on this thread but the main most obvious problem is that she is way out front. She doesnt let the ball travel and all the mechanics have already gone to crap.
If this girl let the ball get deep she'd be putting the barrel on the ball using her core muscles not the wrist and weaker hand muscles.

Here are a group of unedited swings from last night in the garage. We were working on two things: maintaining the triangle (as MTS described it), and launching the bat, back, away from second.

knightsb, that swing pattern is so much better from the first post through this last post. Turning the triangle and using a stretch of the front side to power the swing has made this an infinitely better swing. You need to take your daughter out for a milkshake for all of the hard work she's done! This is incredible improvement in such a short amount of time. Keep it up, both of you!

Simply amazing.
A crappy swing has been turned around in fairly short order.
Credit goes to the daughter for doing the work and to the dad for providing encouragement and searching for a source of good information. We can only hope that others make such rapid progress.

It really is incredible improvement in a short amount of time. We'll see hitters go their entire softball career without showing anywhere near this much progress. This hitter has followed a path that should be an example to be followed by many.

Yes she has come along way and looks good, but who are we?

yes the hip action, and the lower looks very good!
I am glad the "turn the TRIANGLE" works out also

The hip action you see is a result of something else - it is not the driver...
