Mud is a poster to be LISTEN too.....very respected by me and I'm sure others.

Agreed. 100%.

Well then you'd been wrong in your thinking if you equate that swing to my swing theory.

After looking at the entire clip...yes, she is already "sitting" in her stance, and sits even further into it as she loads/coils, and thus then pushes up, and forward out of it, and actually has to "shift" her weight forward into her lead leg, in order to get leverage from that leg before she can start to TTB, and swing/launch the bat/barrel...

Unfortunately this is just another form of "Shift THEN Swing", and why I said earlier that it was "Hard to say with just that partial clip", and why I would need the full one to say for sure.

Julray, please don't let where the information comes from distract you from the information itself as some who've proven to never understand it are trying to do to or for you.

If you don't want to hear it from me that's fine, but please then listen to members like rdbass who understand it, FP26 who has a great grasp of it, pattar whose showing he's got a good handle on it, Buttermaker who has posted some really nice clips of his hitters doing/using it, or any of the others who right off the top of my head I know I'm forgetting (my apologies in advance to those members).

But please don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I believe that you're starting to understand what it is that many of us are saying, and have used with a lot of success...and it would be a shame if those who still don't get it derail your efforts in making your DD into the hitter that I really think she can become.

All the best, and good luck,

I like all your stuff Mud, its just hands and arms that for you is a no teach, that needs work the most in my position. I think he had that right..
And yes her pre sit is something you have spot on.

I also believe the ball on tee is not positioned correctly to really grasp much. Front toss video would be better

Try this. it would help the hands arms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK-JoSP7hzs

I also hope that it is know to all that the weight of the bat, is so very different between MLB players and young fastpitch players. The extreme weight of the ML players bat, creates a lag and snap unlike one that can be easily reproduced by a girl holding a drop 11.

FRont elbow work is a must with most youth also, as that drape will help connection, and a tighter pivot point, where the hands and arms fly out losing the barrel.

as per this JD clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyWNCrxVzPU
