Not here.
Not sure I'm sold she is turning her hips because of the high deep leg kick but rotating/twisting your hips around is not the same as coil and I thin kits evident as the foot comes down.

JMHO hitter coils her hips, slight as it may be but, she does coil them. Not as pronounced as one would think with that high leg raise/kick motion.

1) The notion of sync-ing the upper and lower body becomes a mute issue if you learn to use the core to pivot the swing. Hitters struggling with such synchronization need to learn to use the 'core' as an engine, and not simply the 'hips' as an engine.

2) I found this comment interesting ... "Once those hips start moving laterally it's difficult to adjust your swing timing". This is not true. A hitter's movement forward should be timed to the 'pitcher' ... and will generally take place as the pitch is released, or slightly before pitch release. As such, a hitter needs to have the ability to adjust, since they are in the process of moving forward before they know the location of where the ball will be as it approaches the plate.

What does use the core to pivot the swing mean? How does one do that?
