Work on using the hands...and maybe the other things will work better supporting the hands. Just a thought......

Just because you added ER to the rear leg didn't stop the spinning. Just has the rear leg turning back with the shoulder rotation, lead by the elbow load.

Not my style of hitting. Again JMHO maybe others will dis-agree with my critic.
Again rear elbow needs to get through.

Lots of loading actions.

What loads,... unloads.....

Exactly...you are very correct. Might be exactly why I think the swing is muscled or forced.

This can get you going in the right direction for hand usage . Too get rid of the spinning , Incorporate some momentum with some resistance . Your DD lower half looks like it wants to work correctly.Pelvis coils and shifts well . Just needs a little push aka momentum IMO. All great hitters have a forward move(towards the pitcher). Quite a bit to work on. If I were you I would start with the hands like RDbass said. Then work on a shift drill like the flamingo or stork drill.Or happy Gilmore . Not sure what it's called.

Thanks for the critique gents. I guess we'll get to working on the hands and see how the rest unfolds.

Need to get forward momentum into the front side even with a no stride swing. Forward momentum will keep front shoulder on the ball longer and prevent pulling off the ball. She picks stride foot up and puts it right back down in same place. Get her to step forward and take head and front shoulder with her into the ball. More power and more extension will ensue

She still doesn't have my favorite attack posture, forward setup, at the launch position.

Her earlier swing has the same posture, the posture picture I already posted of another swing.

Just trying to work on the hands here and get some whip, no bottom end. Sometimes I look at it and see an improvement, other times it looks the same. https://youtu.be/1O3inMiAQsI

Check this out. Start listening around 4:30 mark.

The direction of the hands upstream are wrong. Albert says what his intent is. That's missing .See if this helps. Also set the tee off the front foot or a tad deeper if she is comfortable with it. Tell her to just use her upper body. She wants to hit linedrives no higher than her shoulders. In the video she is using her hips .
Keep asking questions ...

How do you work on whip mechanics and ignore the base of the whip?

What do you consider the whip?
