Dd9yo

Have her learn to turn the barrel with her hands(not arms) like this:

I'd rather have a hitter drop the hands than fly the lead elbow up and out like this young man does in this clip.
Just sayin.

My advice to you is to not seek advice for your DD here.
You'll get lost in all the advice.
Or, search the posts from Bucketdad. He really knows the 411. What ever happened to him? Where'd he go?

rdbass:

Question for you. Why the name change from BucketDad to BleacherDad?

Bleacherdad:

Because I now sit in the bleachers and watch my DD play.
The bucket no longer makes its way to the games. Sometimes a chair is there for me to sit in.

Carry On.

You mean like this? Yeah, it'd be a shame to have her resemble Manny Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera. Jess sayin'....and FYI, the 'kid' has played at a pretty high level himself. Below is a clip of him hitting the longest home run in an international competition for team USA as a 14u.

NBD - Maybe you should be giving tips on how you got your 9 y.o. to that point. Very sweet swing.

I don't see that much wrong. She's WAY ahead of the class as a 9u. I think getting her hands activated a little earlier and eliminate the the little pull with the arms at the beginning of the swing, and she would be really close.

Congrats. You've done a great job so far.

These are minor tweaks to work on as she continues to develop. For a 9yo, her swing is VERY good. As with all 9yos, there are things that can be improved/tweaked/refined to help her continue her success as she faces tougher and tougher pitching. Do no be discouraged. Your DD is on a good path.

What is your definition of sequence?
