My 11yo is struggling with her timing at the moment which has never happened before. She played rec for 4 years and on a tournament team for 2 years now (no rec this year!). This is her 1st year playing 12u and ever since she met faster Pitching last year she hasn't been hitting anything slower than about 46 well. She is waaay in front of the ball sometimes so i thought now may be the time to get get a batting coach before the tournament season gets under way. He says her mechanics are great and that she needs to work on timing. She has only been to 3 lessons but he said that they are at about the 6th lesson for most other girls. The only other issue is that she sometimes drops her hand a little but he said it is actually the way she moves her hands causes her left shoulder to go out rather than dropping her hands. She corrects it on her own after a few swings but she doesn't feel when it happens. He said her not feeling is because she has young muscles.
Has anyone else's dd gone through this? What age? How long? Does timing really come with age? (Even though timing has never been an issue before?) Any and all advice welcome!
