I need some help here. DD hits the ball pretty well but always to right field and up high in the air, instead of line drive. She hits fine off tee. In live pitching it she has a double hitch in her hands. Is that a timing issue? I know she has bat drag, working on that now. What else do you guys see and are there drills to help. Thanks

The basic sequence needs to be cleaned up ... and from there she can begin learning a more effective swing.

She appears to be pretty strong, and athletic. Getting her swing mechanics headed in a better direction will serve her well. Currently, I see a lunging, pausing, arm-powered, out-front, flat swing.

What we like to see is the barrel getting turned behind the corner and whipped through contact, with stretch and pivot around the rear hip. Hands - not the spine - are the center for bat rotation. Back side pulls.
