If I was to attach a hula hoop representing a natural arm circle to this girl based on that hip/shoulder alignment, the circle would carry the ball to the rh side. Hence my question. The arm circle with stretch does not run parallel with the frontal plane of the body even though you can forcibly swing it that way. I would say she is getting too sideways to her target and trying to make her arm go where mother nature doesn't really want it to go. Make an arm circle to the target and then find where your hip/shoulder angles facilitate that arm circle when weightless.
Momentum going left is another animal which further mixes up the soup.
If you make that left foot work a lot harder on the initial drive it won't be crossing over in front of right foot. Currently she is swinging her body over sideways to help line things up for her right leg to drive "everything" forward. Additionally she is not weightless until the ball is overhead which screws with the body turning to facilitate the arm circle.
2 step - lots of quality 2 step. Embrace drive mechanics.
