Ok then. Here we go.

She immediately starts off turned. Arm behind body. Watch what happens next.

Arm goes out away from body. She needs to launch strait and keep the arm close to the body.

Starting away from the body causes this. Hand over head. This is dangerous to her shoulder and sets her up for failure. It’s amazing she gets back to the power line. This causes a turn down of the ball and she never recovers.

This is actually not horrible position with ball at 3. But rather than dropping the elbow down she ends up leading with the ball.

Here it is. Ball down. Straightening of the arm. Butt is out and she will completely miss brush.

Here is the missed brush. If the arm had some bend and ball at 3 she may have had contact. But with the arm straight it just wasn’t going to happen.

Hope this helps you see where she is going wrong. It starts with the drive and arm circle.
