I have a right handed hitter that tends to allow her top hand to open up as she is initiating her attack to the ball during her swing sequence. In other words, after load and heel plant, as she begins to turn the barrel towards the ball, her top hand opens up (i.e., knuckles of her right hand move toward back of right forearm) and the bat flattens out. Basically, she is getting to palm up palm down at the time she is starting to initiate her downward path to the ball rather than at contact. Almost like a push with her top from underneath. She used to suffer from very bad bat drag and her hitting is improved. However, she still tends to be a bit long to the ball and this swing promotes weak fly balls or flares.
Any suggestions as to how to work on fixing this? Would a reverse top hand extension drill help?
