FFS,
Trying to see ....The slack in the system...hands can be engaged earlier.

Rdbass ... can be felt as the feel of turning the barrel causing the elbow slotting action, versus first slotting without that feel.

fballchgup,
Tell your DD very nice swing. Your DD will do very well with that swing at the plate. Good job dad you should be pleased.

Absolutely!

There is always room for improvement ... but this here is quite healthy.

This is a girl who is headed in the right direction. I hope I can get my own DD on the same path.

To be honest with you when you were speaking of the 'slack' in the system, I thought you were talking about as the hands move back/rearward. I see what you are now speaking about after your response. Always like to learn more as I view videos.

Nice.
A girl with stretch/coil, probably 1-100.
add good hand pivot, probably 1-1000.
And
good back usage...priceless.

My advice...build her brain and confidence. Her success and just the sound of her bat will draw a lot of attention to her. You can't be with her all the time and she WILL be having dip head dads/coaches telling her what she "needs to be doing". Spend a lot of time talking to her...I show my dd all your kids swings on here and ask her analysis...then tell her what I think and why...then stay true to the hanson principle and show her video to support my thoughts. She has gone to several clinics and camps, and came out saying "they don't know what the heck they are talking about."

Great post RHC. It's extremely important for everyone's DD to become a student of the HLS and to know what their body is telling them. I had my DD sit down and disect her swing on every video we've ever done. In my experiences, everyone thinks they are a hitting coach when most are complete idiots
