a couple swings of my DD hitting off the tee yesterday. For you hitting gurus anything stand out that you think we should be working to fix.

To me, for her age and experience I think she's off to a great start. You as her coach, the question is where do you want to go with her swing. Learn all you can about the different methods to hitting and stick to it and practice. Post progress video and enjoy the journey.
Needs to set the lowerbody first. Hands are to far back, behind the back foot.
It’s not a bad swing.
This is correct. The 2nd swing is more connected.Better. notice the difference between the two. She is way ahead of most.

As far as hands to far back behind the back foot I understand I think. More like keep the weight back without leaning twisting so far to the back side? As far as set the lower body first can you elaborate.

I do agree that the second swing looks better than the first.
Get the hands going back when the stride is initiated. Not before. Timing and adjustability issues will always be present otherwise. The sequence needs the correct timing mechanism to be stretched in order and launched wo leaks.

This is something we have been working on and it is like I just haven’t been able to make her understand the movement yet.
She has too much rearward movement prior to picking her front foot up. You load as you move forward. Learn to pick the front foot up and continuously load (coil) as you move forward. It’s not load, then stride. It’s load/stride together. It’s a dynamic movement. Front foot up while coiling the torso/upper body.
