14yo Swing

She has excellent body actions. To get her to use her hands better/tighten hand pivot point/get more 12/6 in swing have her play around with her top hand in her setup....right now the top of her fist is pointing at the pitcher in set up and her top wrist is largely unbent/un-laid-back. Vrooom her grip so that more of her palm shows to the pitcher while keeping her current elbow position. (In other words, dorsiflex her top hand wrist). Right now her top hand is too "strong." What I proscribed should help her work toward a pivot point that is tighter around her hands, get more 12/6 and get her barrel deeper.

Sorry, barrel path should be a little more vertical as a clock face going from 12 - 6. These swing are more like 3 - 9. The difference being your daughter's swing is around the front leg and the hitter I posted is around the rear leg. The hand action must be that of swiveling the barrel and not pulling/pushing the handle. Hope that makes sense and that you understand that I am not criticizing just offering advice. She can obviously rake.

Here are a couple of others with a 12-6 barrel path

I'd re-read these/this comments again....

Hands need to turn the barrel and not be 'tied' to the rotation of the shoulders. Again JMHO.
