She is still trying to use weight shift to start the swing, although it appears she is coiled longer.

Did you try Buttermaker's suggestion to focus on the upperbody?

Focus on the hands, man. Focus on the hands...

I will post Monday. I appreciate it so much.

teamM,

I would like to see her try to swing from the launch position in a GO drill. No extra weight shift to launch the swing, like she is doing now. So you would turn the barrel immediately and rotate. Try to eliminate the slop to launch the swing and just swing.

The launch position is at toe touch, you want the planting action to take place.

Example of the Command Drill:

That looks pretty damn good for your first try!! Good job of a command/go/no stride drill. Your simplifying the swing this way, to where your just swinging and already loaded. Forcing her to swing without to much weight shift or loading actions.

See the back foot move forward? Ideally it should not move forward in this drill and that is just a sign of weight shift. There weight shift where the swing shifts the weight to the front side and then there is just weight shift forward (a shift and then swing action).

She is doing a good job in that drill.

Nice closed front foot BTW.
