Start with Her lower half. Her hips stall. Pause the clip at contact and you can see Her shoulders turned open but
Her hips are locked down, they stopped rotating. Tell Her to drive that rear knee forward toward the front foot. Let the driving rear hip/knee pull the hands from there position near the rear shoulder. There's other issues but that is a good place to start. TJ

Tjintx ... sticking with the theme you've mentioned, what are your thoughts on the front leg here? Might it be a contributing factor? Wondering if this girl has a different understanding of "weight back". Would a correction to the front leg remove the look of the "lower" rear leg appearing as a boat anchor and being more at the mercy of her "upper" rear leg?
I'm more focused on the rear leg. I think the lack of resistance between the legs is definitely a contributor. What front leg instruction would you give this hitter?

I agree the hips need to be allowed to turn. To much restrictions. The upperbody is in control.

I still see the front leg fully extended going into contact.
Way to much counter rotation of the shoulders.
