Nice Jim.

What did you think of the low hand finish in the game swings?


She seems to be swinging while trying to keep the bat too level to the ground. Causes the front elbow to colapse against her hip on followthru. Might help to keep the hands above the ball, and lead with the front elbow. I think it would help with extention through the ball, and cause a higher followthru. Hate to say anything though, she is hitting homeruns!!...;)

She is strong enough to hit it over of course.
She is doing it mostly with the upper body.
I believe I could get this girl to hit it a mile.

Watch the second swing in slo-mo. Upper body leads the lower body.
I really like her hip load. Just out of sequence with upper body.

Off the tee. See if you can do the hip move and go out to toe touch on a bent front knee and land on inside edge of big toe and not on all five toes.

See if you can do this move with out firing the hands at all, not even alittle bit.

DO the hip kick she does and go out to toe touch with out moving the upper body to swing.
I posted a bigger picture of my daughter doing this move. Her front knee is bent, look at her front foot.
Inside edge of foot, heel off ground. This move is just before she fire's to swing.

See if she can do this move without firing the upper body first.

Again i really like her hip load.



ps. At first she might not be able to go out to toe touch like this without partially swinging first.
