Any suggestions on this swing? This is my almost 11 year old dd. very tall for her age. I think her hands need to be farther back. Any tips are much appreciated

I know this is going to sound cruel but, if that was your DD's hitting coach saying 'good swing look at that...' as your DD looks at her rear foot...should be fired. When and if you read through some of the threads and visit the Model swing thread you might understand and forgive me.

And maybe thank me some day.........

I think the reference to "look at that" has to do with his previously telling her to rotate on her back foot and wanting her to "look at it" after the follow through to see if she was doing it. But I get your point and we aren't using this coach anymore.

Thanks. Finding her good instruction has been hard. In spite of the issues, she's hit for very high avg so I'm cautiously optimistic

Last year of 10U travel. This past spring-summer season. Just moved up to 12U for fall ball that just ended. Hit pretty well in 12U fall ball but clearly has a lot to work on

We've all been there at some point! And are all trying to help our kids reach their potential.
