So is her hands moving back to soon , as she gathers weight on her back side? In other words, we want her stretch to come As she is striding forward? I really appreciate the knowledge!

Not here.

DD's hands are moving too far up and back. Hands are 'moving' at the correct time but the stretch isn't where I would like to see/feel it.

Bonds stretch/resistance is from the SCRIP(scap & hip) area.
Your DD's stretch is from her sticking her front foot/leg out to her hands.

The hands going upward before launch is also giving your DD a downward then flat(slapper) to the ball swing.

Please point out where this was posted. Thanks in advance.

The rear side stretch is part of every available resource, not the driver. How do you know the young kids stretch is from her sticking her front foot/leg out to her hands?

rdbass, no need to bail.. My point is be careful and don't Force resistance out of sequence.. One needs to allow for the natural flow of the movement pattern. The flow needs to be dynamic and balanced IMO.

That's looking much better than the first few swings imo. The only thing I'd say is with the leg lift maybe not so high and/or across the body with the knee. Into the body is fine, but you don't need that much. If you're worrying about "coil" then rest assured, that leg left isn't super important to loading the back leg.
