What stands out that needs to be worked on?
I know front elbow locks out, needs more stretch. What else? What first? 14U

I'm not FFS and I'm not sure if you're asking him exclusively or the gang here collectively.
Here is my 2 cents:
What she has is a golf swing. You just won't see accomplished hitters (softball/baseball) finish like she does, on top of her lead leg.
This signals an issue upstream (from swing initiation to contact). She also rises up during this same time frame.
Start with the foot work.

Not a bad swing, but it's missing most of the advanced features that are discussed and debated frequently on this forum.

There's no loading of the hands, no separation (stretch & fire), no loading of the hips (coil forward). Hips don't really lead (establishing a corner). There also are some hand-path issues (turning the barrel.) There are others who understand and explain those concepts better than I do, but that's what I see (or should I say 'don't see') in her swing.

Nope, I was asking collectively, I meant hoping FFS would help with a GIF. I started working on FBC, loading the hands, and separation but I think I did too much at once and her game performance took a dive. I told her to go back to old swing until season is done. (This weekend) just was trying to get others views on what needs to be corrected.

No, these mechanics are not adequate for a good golf swing.

Look at the start of the swing. Look at the sequence.

Why must you ALWAYS fail to offer help. He asked what he needs to work on, not just look. FFS what should this parent start with first/second to fix this swing????
