Doing a lot right in my opinion. Biggest issue I would work on is getting this palm up to the sky instead of on top of the ball. Read the internal rotation pinned thread at the top.

a) Needs to work on front side resistance. She needs to stop her forward movement with her left leg leg. Her right leg should end up behind her left leg.
b) Need to keep ball up at 9.
c) From this angle, it looks like is "monkey butting"--she sticks her butt out when she throws so that her arm doesn't brush her side. She needs to work on standing up straight.

Yeah, looks pretty good but the FSR isn't strong.

Your camera angle is an interesting choice. :p Is that where they put you during her lesson?

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feed back. Since moving up in ball size it seems she has lost a little bit of ball up at 9. We are working on it, really good doing drills and loses it when she goes full motion. Here are a few more angles (lighting is not the greatest).

She looks pretty good. Tweak the arm action a bit, elbow needs to lead a little more on the downswing, that ties in with hand under the ball at 9 o'clock.

This drill helped my DD with frontside resistance. I found the video on a thread here and bookmarked it on Youtube. Sorry I have a direct link to the thread.

“For kids who tend to bend at the hips, here's one of several cues to help teach posture. At release, stay tall, hold the posture briefly, then step back. This is an exaggeration to build awareness. “
