Yes I do talk about TTB. But not with the elbow. More with her hands.
There is some slack in the swing because she isn't TTB immediately with the hands. The hands are along for the ride as the elbow slots and rotation begins. That is why at contact the hands are not active in driving through the ball. Because the hands are dead or just along for the ride.
I agree. Now, how do we correct it?

Supinate the wrist/forearm and let the elbow slot. Turn the barrel immediately. Do the no stride or go drill where you just load and then swing. No slack in the system, just go/swing.

Another helpful item would be to make sure all the slack is removed from her back. And I mean all the slack. And one more thing is to get the lead forearm more involved at launch to instantly pronate (turn thumb down). But, I like the cue of turn the knob or pinky finger up as violently as you can.

Folks, take note that this pitch is fairly high in the zone.
I have more video to post that shows the same issues.
You can post them Shawn.
