Tee is too deep to really see whats what. got any game swings or toss swings?
You ended up leaning back (green vs yellow) because you landed on a straight front leg. It must be very bent at toe touch.
Quick question, how does she handle the low outside pitch? Edit: Especially off speed?
There are 2 reasons why I ask is this,
1. efastball brought up the point of landing straight legged and leaning back,
2. she also lands a little open, or that's what it looks like from this angle
Combine both of these and I believe she could be susceptible to the low outside pitch, especially a changeup.

She is leaning back because she doesn't keep rear hip hinged long enough and extend hips too early. She also has a little ABAF aspect to her swing which is not the end of the world but would try to have her more out more like Justin Stone suggest in this video around the 6:30 mark.

We were doing that on purpose to get her to try to turn her hands sooner. I have some other swings but they are different than this swing. She was way out front before pulling the knob down and across her body, lunging a bit and letting her front shoulder rotate out away from the ball.
Thank you we will work on the front leg. I appreciate the feedback
We are reworking some things and want to make sure we are on the right path. I will post one of her old swings. It was a very weight out front lunging swing which we are trying to correct. We have been watching alot of Antonelli videos online. When she was lunging she out in front of everything except inside pitches. She has been getting better at the outside pitch as of late. Yes i see now the landing of the front leg and we will definitely work on that. She does land a little open but not much, but i see your point makes sense. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you. I appreciate it. I totally agree with the hip not hinged. We were specifically working on that last night. Thanks for the ABAF comment as well. I was not catching that last night. I definitely see it. She is usually a little better about the rearward motion as she is striding. That should also create more space to turn her hands earlier or deeper in her swing.
