Help with 10 Yr Old DD Swing!

Please let me know what you think, any and all advice is appreciated. She wants to keep getting better and I need some help to point out what she's doing wrong and where she needs to improve. Thanks

Man she has it made. Got her brothers fetching balls, setting them on the tee for her.

She is all back and all forward. Try to get a sequence where she loads her hands back as the hips move forward out to toe touch.
That is where i would start.

Don't mess.... Enjoy the ride.

I see the hands still going back as she gets to toe touch, and I'm not seeing the "all-forward" mentioned by SL. She seems to be keeping her torso back very well throughout the swing. There are a lot of very good things happening here. Any improvements would be a continuation of a path she seems to already be on.

To continue her progress, you might find some very useful information here...http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-hitting-technical/13734-what-does-corner-mean-you.html

Thanks Eric, I'll check out the thread.

Watch back hip and hands on your daughter compared to the movement below...Hips and hands go back over top the back leg then they go forward together .... Try to keep the weight on the inside of the rear foot and back leg on the load like below

Proper sequence:
Hips go forward out to toe touch as the hands load back

Doing what I do best. Copying and pasting others gifs. What dad doesn't like gifs of his DD.

A diagonal swing plane created by an 'out from' path and this girl is done.

Hope this helps dad. Just trying to help speed up the learning curve. Wish someone would have done this for me and my 10 yr old DD.
