Here are some cuts from today. She is working on hands and also creating more rotational movement and less lunge into the zone that the cuts that started the thread. Hitting off Jugs at 56 mph.

Looking at this gif what do you get the 'feel' that is swinging/pulling the bat forward.
I'll give you more if you want but, I wasn't sure you liked my opinion.

I always appreciate your take. While recognizing the pitch is low and away I still would like to see her rely less on taking the hands and arms and barrel down towards the ball and instead see he hands working higher while rotating the barrel into the path of the ball.

Sorry I disagree...Forget about whether the ball was low or high. Do you not see or get the feeling that the front side is pulling your DD's hands and bat.

Your DD needs to get out of her comfort zone(thxs bluedog).

Maybe the hands are outta sequence causing the pulling ?

Work on sequencing Howser and not "forcing" the movements. I would suggest doing some high tee drills also to create the feel of not letting her hands drop and that should also help create a better feel of the hands resisting that you can build off of.

I have a hunch that once she understands the feel she'll make gd progress because she's obviously athletic enough.
