Student has a decent swing but her front shoulder is elevated early and when she turns her back hip it elevates to see the ball. Help. She isn't my DD, so I can't show film.

Maybe try a drill that works on the "rock the U" or "rock the baby" motion to get the front shoulder angling down more at toe touch?

If she needs a visual, try placing a hitting stick across her shoulders - the length exaggerates the shoulder tilt, making it easier for her to see the position she should be getting to.

Thanks, she looks good until live action. Probably swings it better in drills than anyone I work with but the worse hitter live.
