She just twists her back leg (bug squish), she doesn't drive the back hip through. She drops her back elbow, and then pulls the knob instead of throwing the barrel. No weight shift.

You need to push the back side through using your butt muscles. You don't twist the leg and turn.

See below;

She is defiantly squishing the bug. Start with first things first and get all that weight off the back leg and redistributed between both . Then put a weight shift in her swing. The easiest way to start is put her at the plate in her normal stance then have her bring her front foot to her back foot. then stride forward and catch her self on a strong (bent or softened ) front knee on the ball of her forward foot.

IMHO I would start there if the bottom half dosent work correctly it really dosent matter what the top half does. Hope this helps.

I got a bunch of new kids this year for high school that all squish. I posted about the milk crate drill. I have found this to be one of the better ways of breaking this. Howard talked to me about it, and after I got to see a video of how it works, I have been using it since. Milk crate, Foam pipe wrap and a couple of pull Ties to hold the foam in place and you have one. You place it between her legs with the foam facing toward the back leg. The foam goes across the top of one side of the crate. If she is squishing the bug she will not hit the foam. It is to get them to hit the foam with the leg so they understand the back leg action.

the first thing is she loads back with her hips and her hands stay where they were...her hips need to come forward and hands need to go back...IMO that is the first thing to work on...

so i guess the last 11 weeks of going to batting coach was wasted money. going to start a new guy next week that uses stuff he learned from howard thanks for your help.

Wow! Eleven weeks and she still has no sequence. Here's the basic sequence. It's not that complicated and doesn't take 11 weeks.

You can probably teach it yourself in a couple of nights. Once you get it down, just replace the ball with a small tee-ball bat and do one arm swings. Then progress to two hands and the lightest regular sized bat you have. The bottom hand should naturally alter the throwing motion and tighten up the pinch in the back arm. That's the stacked back forearm that some keep talking about. IMO the stacked back forearm happens naturally when the correct back arm action is used with the bottom hand on the bat. You can design a drill to teach a stacked back arm, but why would you want to if you don't have to? If you find the pinch in the back arm is not tight enough, Epstein's "Enforcer Drill" will easily tighten it up.

FFS, do you have that clip of the NY Yankee hitter taking live batting in spring training with a screen on homeplate? That's basically the concept behind the "Enforcer Drill".
